Mantel Column Clearances

Combustible mantel columns (legs) that protrude ¾" (19mm) or less from the glass frame must meet the
facing clearances (minimum 2-1/4" (57mm) from the side of the glass frame – 0" from side of fireplace).
Combustible mantel columns (legs) that protrude between ¾" (19mm) and 4" (102mm) from the glass
frame or non-combustible facing require a 5" (127mm) clearance to side of the fireplace (7-1/4" 185mm
from the side of the glass frame).
Combustible mantel columns (legs) that protrude more than 4" (102mm) from the glass frame or non-
combustible facing must meet the side wall clearance (minimum 12" (305mm) from side of the fireplace -
14-1/4" 362mm to the side of the glass frame).
Non-combustible mantel columns do not have a minimum clearance.
