Hello all,
I am new to this forum as of today. I purchased an Osburn 1800 insert and my 6 inch liner kit arrived today. I've been searching for help with connecting the flex liner to the top flue outlet of the insert. I have an "appliance adapter" which came with the liner kit. When looking inside the Osburn flue outlet hole there are 3 small stubs of metal that prevent the adapter piece from being pushed down more than 1/2inch into the insert. The adapter fits loosely into the inserts flue outlet with about 1/8 inch of space around the outter edges and will not go into it any further since it hits those 3 stubs. I was told that I can cut the adapter to fit better and to caulk around the outside of it where it meets the insert. I'm wondering if anyone has had a similiar issue and what was done to correct it. Do I need a special Osburn adapter? I emailed Osburn and have not had any replies. The place where I bought the stove passes it off to the place where I bought the liner kit.
Thanks for your anticipated help!
