The Selkirk 187706 Wall Thimble is a Type B gas vent fitting designed for use with Selkirk 6-inch RV Type B gas vent pipe systems. This wall thimble serves as a critical interface between your gas venting appliance and the wall or roof penetration, ensuring safe and code-compliant installation of gas-fired water heaters, furnaces, stoves, and other venting applications.
Built with double-wall construction featuring an inner aluminum liner and outer galvanized steel shell, this thimble maintains permanent insulation with a built-in air space that keeps the inner pipe hot while keeping the outer surface relatively cool. This dual-material construction also functions as a firestop, ensuring proper clearance to combustibles is maintained and meeting fire safety requirements.
