Can anyone tell me if I can scoot a princess out onto a raised hearth as far as my flue allows. My current flex liner and block off plate for my nc30 are set up to allow the nc30 stick out as far as possible onto hearth. As long as the princess inserts shape is square im sure the pipe / surround for the insert should cover everything properly? Thanks
 
I'm not real sure what you are looking for here.
The princess flue collar sits at a 30 degree angle. You will likely need to modify your block off plate and add a different elbow to line it up.
 
For some reason I was thinking the rear if the princess was tapered to the rear getting narrower. So if it were to be brought out onto the hearth further then the surround wouldnt fill the gaps on the side of the stove. If it is a conpletely square design I dont see an issue. Hard to describe I guess. Just trying to get it to stick out as fsr as possible I to room
 
The panels only mount in 1 place, the projection from the face of the fireplace isn't adjustable.
 
Do these help

Thanks. So the flue has an angle to it? If an existing flex liner comes straight down what degree elbo is needed to fit the bk?
 
30 degree typically from what I remember. But a different degree offset might be needed if the flex liner has to tweaked either forward or backward.
