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.
