English term or phrase: Wall thimble

I am translating a water heater manual and don´t know how to translate this term for a replacement part available for purchase.

Some sentences to understand better what the function is:
-The vent pipe should be installed with a flame-retardant wall thimble.
-The venting may be as short as 12", provided one vent termination is installed to the outdoors through a sidewall, one 90° elbow is included in the installation, and the wall thimble is installed.

I have found "guardacabo" but have seen an image and it is something completely different.

Can anyone help please? :-(

Explanation:

Pues sí. Lo del guardacabos ha salido varias veces en kudoz pero aquí no pega (parece que es un término de náutica):

Lo tuyo, "wall thimble" es esto:

No estoy seguro al 100 % de si en este contexto se usaría pasapared/pasamuros, etc., pero la idea es esa.

Saludos

Quizá -paso de tubo- a la espera de que alguien conozca algo más concreto?
