DRL6500 Linear Direct-Vent Gas Fireplaces
Wall Finishes / Surrounds / Mantels
Clearances to combustible mantels vary according to mantel depth (Figure 6).
Mantels constructed of non-combustible material may be installed at any height above the appliance opening; however, do
NOT allow anything to hang below the top edge of the fireplace door.
Minimum clearance requirements include any projections such as shelves, window sills, mantels, etc. above the
fireplace.
NOTE: To avoid heat-related finish damage, we recommend the use of high temperature paint (rated 175°F or higher) on
the underside of the mantel.
NOTE: The factory-supplied non-combustible fiber board MUST be installed around the fireplace opening.
