Can you attach a 6 " double wall stove pipe directly to this adaptor?

Answer:
Yes. In fact, that is its prime objective. It is part of the Selkirk DSP Double-Wall line. By Daniel from Vernal Utah on January 25, 2012
A masonry chimney is on the other side of the 2x6 exterior wall with only about 2" between them. How should the stove pipe go through the wall and connect to the masonry chimney?

Answer:
This adaptor is designed to be the bridge between the stove pipe in your room and an existing masonry chimney or a relined masonry chimney. If your masonry chimney is lined, a length of stove pipe connects to the short side of this adaptor and the long side pushes through the brickwork to connect to a reline tee within the masonry chimney. If no relining components are being used and the masonry is in good condition and can support the draft of your stove, this adaptor is pushed through the brickwork and into your existing flue. Instead of connecting to a reline pipe via a tee, the adaptor is installed to sit just flush with the inside wall of the masonry flue. By Rob Ward from 17972 on November 12, 2011
Hello, I have a 7" ID clay thimble surrounded by about 8" of brick, It's my understanding that the brick should have been 12" clearance all around the thimble. Could I use this piece of double wall stovepipe masonry adaptor instead of tearing my wall apart to try to extend the brick from 8" to 12"?
The depth from the face of the thimble to the inside off the chimney is 12"'

Answer:
This adaptor is designed for use with our Selkirk DSP Double-Wall stove pipe. This Double-Wall pipe only requires a 6" clearance to combustibles. As such, your 8" of brick would be sufficient. However, if you are intending to use Single-Wall pipe, 18" of clearance to combustibles must be maintained.
