Questions people ask us

What do I need to order with the 1700?

Osburn lists three required accessories, each sold separately: a door overlay (black or brushed nickel), a faceplate (Regular 29" x 44" or Large 32" x 50") and matching faceplate trims. A faceplate extension is included with the insert for most hearths. See the trims and fronts and doors and screens collections.

Is the blower included?

Yes. The 1700 comes with a 144 CFM blower that pushes heat from the convection jacket into the room.

Can the 1700 go in a factory-built fireplace?

No. Osburn states that its wood-burning inserts must only be installed inside an existing masonry fireplace with a lined masonry chimney, never in a factory-built (zero clearance) fireplace or any wooden or combustible structure.

What chimney liner does it need?

The 1700 has a 6" flue outlet and is installed with a 6" chimney liner listed to UL 1777 in the US. Osburn also offers a liner hook up system and an offset liner adapter in the venting collection.
