Im about 2 1/4 inches from coming straight into my insert and i have about 17" from the flue damper opening to the top of my insert to complete a 2" 1/4 offset. If i were to hand bend to 15 degree bends roughly 8 1/2 inches apart it could work but id probably have to bend it before it goes down the chimney. The terra cotta tiles are just about 11 inches i.d. Or can it be wrestled in the firebox to get 2 inches? Am i talking crazy? Or should i just order a 15 degree fitting and call it good.
How bendy is flex liner?

Flex really doesn't "flex" unless you want to collapse it. I would recommend using an elbow with flex liner adapter whenever possible rather than crushing the liner to fit.
I just tried it out and 2" is possible but wouldnt try any more than that. Youre right not bendy at all lol

The angled appliance adapters are the best solution two beds in 17” sounds difficult. 2” offset over 17” to a 15 degree adapter not an issue.
