Description

The Osburn Liner Offset Adaptor, part number AC01370, is a 6-inch chimney liner offset adaptor designed for use with Osburn wood fireplace insert installations where the masonry chimney flue is not aligned directly above the insert's flue outlet.

The adaptor allows a flexible chimney liner to be offset to the rear of the insert's flue outlet, bridging the horizontal distance between the insert flue collar and the chimney liner when a direct vertical connection is not achievable due to the chimney flue position relative to the insert outlet position within the fireplace opening.

In wood fireplace insert installations, the flexible stainless steel chimney liner descends through the masonry chimney from the chimney top and must connect to the insert's flue collar at the bottom. When the chimney flue centerline does not align directly with the insert's flue outlet, a direct connection is not possible without accommodating the horizontal offset between the two points. The AC01370 liner offset adaptor provides this offset transition, allowing the liner to connect to the insert at an angle that bridges the misalignment.

The adaptor is secured to the insert using three mounting brackets and screws installed in the three holes on top of the insert in front of the flue outlet, with the long end of the brackets attached to the insert body. The liner offset adaptor is recommended for use as a last resort when direct chimney liner alignment with the insert flue outlet cannot be achieved.

What's Included: One Osburn AC01370 6-inch liner offset adaptor. Mounting brackets and screws referenced in the installation procedure are included in the insert's instruction manual kit and are not supplied with this adaptor separately.

Installation Limits: The AC01370 liner offset adaptor is intended for use only when direct alignment between the chimney liner and the insert flue outlet cannot be achieved. It must be installed using the three brackets and screws provided in the insert instruction manual kit, secured with a powered driver. All installation must follow the Osburn insert owner's manual instructions for liner offset adaptor installation and comply with applicable local codes and chimney liner requirements.

Compatibility: Compatible with Osburn wood fireplace insert models requiring a 6-inch chimney liner connection where liner offset from the insert flue outlet is required during installation.

Product FAQ

What problem does the Osburn AC01370 liner offset adaptor solve?

The AC01370 solves the installation problem that arises when the masonry chimney flue centerline does not align directly above the Osburn wood fireplace insert's flue outlet. In this situation, a flexible chimney liner descending through the masonry chimney cannot connect directly to the insert flue collar in a straight vertical run. The liner offset adaptor allows the flexible liner to be connected to the insert at an angle that bridges the horizontal offset between the chimney flue position and the insert flue outlet, enabling the liner connection to be completed where a direct connection would otherwise be impossible.

How is the AC01370 liner offset adaptor installed on an Osburn wood fireplace insert?

The AC01370 is installed by first securing three mounting brackets using three screws to the three holes on top of the insert in front of the flue outlet, with the long end of each bracket attached to the insert body. This bracket assembly is completed using a powered driver. The mounting brackets and screws referenced in this procedure are provided in the insert's instruction manual kit and are not packaged with the AC01370 adaptor itself. The liner offset adaptor installation instructions provided with the AC01370 must then be followed to complete the connection between the adaptor and the flexible chimney liner.

When should the AC01370 liner offset adaptor be used versus a direct liner connection?

The AC01370 liner offset adaptor is recommended for use only as a last resort when direct chimney liner alignment with the insert flue outlet cannot be achieved through other means. When the chimney liner does align with the insert flue outlet, a direct liner starter adapter connection or a liner fixation system should be used instead of the offset adaptor. The offset adaptor introduces a horizontal transition in the liner run that would otherwise be unnecessary if the liner and flue outlet are in direct vertical alignment, so direct connection methods are preferred when the geometry of the installation permits them.

What chimney liner diameter is the AC01370 adaptor designed for?

The AC01370 liner offset adaptor is a 6-inch diameter adaptor, matching the 6-inch stainless steel chimney liner requirement for compatible Osburn wood fireplace insert installations. The chimney liner used with compatible Osburn inserts must be an acceptable 6-inch stainless steel chimney liner installed in the masonry chimney flue. Using the adaptor with a liner of a different diameter from the insert's specified liner requirement is not appropriate and must not be done.

Are mounting brackets included with the AC01370 liner offset adaptor?

The three mounting brackets and screws required to secure the liner offset adaptor to the insert are provided in the insert's instruction manual kit and are not packaged separately with the AC01370 adaptor. Installers should confirm that the brackets and screws from the insert instruction manual kit are available before beginning the liner offset adaptor installation. If the insert instruction manual kit brackets are not available, they must be sourced before the AC01370 installation can be completed.

Which Osburn wood fireplace insert models is the AC01370 adaptor compatible with?

The AC01370 liner offset adaptor is compatible with Osburn wood fireplace insert models requiring a 6-inch chimney liner connection where liner offset from the insert flue outlet is necessary during installation. Compatibility is confirmed by the Osburn insert owner's manual for the specific insert model being installed, which will reference the AC01370 as an available accessory for offset liner installations. The insert owner's manual should always be consulted to verify that the AC01370 is the appropriate adaptor for the specific insert model and installation configuration.
