Claim 17:
18. A system, comprising:
a thermal isolator configured to be coupled to an inner wall of a wall system, wherein the thermal isolator comprises an isolator body spanning along a first axis between an isolator outer surface and an isolator inner surface and along a second axis between an isolator first side and an isolator second side, and a first coupling recess disposed through the isolator outer surface and into the isolator body, wherein the first coupling recess comprises a recess shape, wherein the first axis and the second axis are substantially perpendicular; and
a first retainer comprising a first coupling protrusion having a first protrusion shape that is complementary to the recess shape, wherein the first retainer is configured to be coupled to the thermal isolator by the first coupling protrusion being disposed in the first coupling recess of the thermal isolator,
wherein the first protrusion shape comprises a first portion comprising a first cross-sectional length, and a second portion comprising a second cross-sectional length that is protruding further than the first portion, wherein the first cross-sectional length is greater than the second cross-sectional length,
wherein the first coupling recess is disposed proximate the isolator first side or the isolator second side of the thermal isolator, such that, in response to the first coupling protrusion being inserted into the first coupling recess, a respective end portion of the thermal isolator between the first coupling recess and a respective isolator end is able to shift from an original position to allow the first cross-sectional length into the first coupling recess, and shift back substantially to the original position in response to the first cross-sectional length crossing the isolator outer surface into the first coupling recess.
