Finalizing the Installation
Mantel Requirements
Combustible Mantels
Use the table below to determine the maximum mantel depth allowed. The mantel depth
(measured from the face of the fireplace) must fall in the shaded portion of the table.
Any material that protrudes more than 3/4" (19mm) from the non-combustible facing is considered a
mantel and must meet the mantel requirements.
Examples:
- If you wish to have an 8" (203mm) deep mantel, it must be at least 8" (203mm) above the fireplace face (44-3/4", 1137mm above the base).
- If you wish to have a mantel 6" (152mm) above the fireplace face, it must be no deeper than 6" (152mm).
Non-Combustible Mantels
Non-combustible mantels must meet the clearances listed for combustible mantels. However, if you do
wish to reduce the clearances by using a non-combustible mantel, the following requirements must be
met:
Non-combustible
mantel and facing
must extend from
the top of the
appliance to the top
surface of the
mantel.
A non-combustible
header must be
used (metal stud).
