The best way to make the thru wall connection is to have solid masonry from your drywall or inside finish straight to the chimney's vertical flue liner. As in the diagram, there needs to be 12" of masonry all the way around the stove pipe. The stove pipe needs to be ran to the flue liner inside the chimney, all you have to do to connect them is to cut a hole in the flue liner and slide the pipe into the hole barely protruding into the vertical flue approx 1/2 inch. Butt the horizontal flue into the vertical flue and mortar around inside with your hand filling in any holes that may be due to cutting. To help you understand why the flue liner needs to be around the stove pipe, is to protect the masonry around the flue. The flue takes the heat, and the masonry around the flue reassures nothing combustible will ever be near the hot spot. Note; in the side view there is an air gap, I would fill that in with masonry to make for certain that nothing combustible will ever fall down in there.
