Osburn Black Faceplate Trims (29" X 44"), 1700, 2000

The faceplate trim installs around the outer edge of the regular faceplate and provides the decorative finished border that frames the faceplate surround against the fireplace hearth and surrounding masonry or finish surfaces. It conceals the transition line between the flat face of the faceplate panel and the surrounding hearth surfaces, giving the completed insert installation a polished and finished appearance. The faceplate trim is a required component to complete the faceplate installation — a faceplate installed without trim will have an unfinished exposed edge at the perimeter of the panel.

No. The OA10122 trim kit at 29 inches by 44 inches is sized specifically for the regular faceplate size for the Osburn 1700 and 2000 wood inserts. The large faceplate size used with these insert models requires a separate trim kit of the appropriate larger dimension. The trim size ordered must always correspond to the faceplate size installed — using a trim kit sized for the regular faceplate on a large faceplate installation will result in incorrect fit and an incomplete installation appearance.

Yes. A brushed nickel finish faceplate trim is available as a separate part for owners selecting the brushed nickel finish configuration for their Osburn 1700 or 2000 insert installation. The OA10122 is the black finish trim kit for the 29-inch by 44-inch regular faceplate. Owners selecting the brushed nickel door overlay for their insert and wishing to coordinate the faceplate trim finish should order the brushed nickel trim kit rather than the OA10122 black trim, or may select the black trim for a contrasting finish combination across the door overlay and faceplate surround.

Yes. Faceplate trim finish does not need to match the door overlay finish. Owners may choose to match the trim finish to the door overlay for a consistent and coordinated appearance across the insert face and faceplate surround, or may select a contrasting trim finish to create a visual accent effect that adds dimension to the completed installation. For example, a brushed nickel door overlay combined with a black faceplate trim, or a black door overlay with a brushed nickel trim, both produce a two-tone installation appearance that some owners prefer over a single-finish coordinated configuration.

The OA10122 black faceplate trim is installed in conjunction with the 29-inch by 44-inch regular faceplate for the 1700 or 2000 insert, which is the faceplate panel that covers the gap between the insert body and the masonry fireplace opening perimeter. The insert installation also includes a door overlay in the owner's chosen finish — black or brushed nickel — and may include a fresh air intake kit and chimney liner connection components depending on the installation configuration. The faceplate and trim are the final visual finishing components installed after the insert is positioned and connected to the chimney system.

Installation of the OA10122 faceplate trim must be performed in accordance with the faceplate trim installation instructions in the Osburn 1700 or 2000 insert owner's manual and all applicable local building codes governing fireplace insert installations. The trim is installed after the regular faceplate is positioned against the fireplace opening, and all installation work should be carried out with the insert fully cooled before the faceplate and trim assembly are handled or fitted to the fireplace opening. The correct faceplate must be installed before the trim can be fitted, as the trim is designed to frame the outer perimeter of the installed faceplate.
