Mantel Requirements
If installing a TV above a mantel, see the section "Televisions Placed Above the Fireplace" on page 10.
Use the table below to determine the maximum mantel depth allowed. The mantel depth (measured from the
non-combustible facing) must fall within the shaded portion of the table.
Any material above the fireplace that protrudes more than 3/4" (19mm) from the non-combustible facing is
considered a mantel and must meet the mantel requirements.

Mantel Column Clearances
Combustible mantel columns (legs) that protrude more than ¾" (19mm) from the front of the fireplace
require a 3" (77mm) clearance to the side of the fireplace.
Combustible mantel columns (legs) that protrude ¾" (19mm) or less from the glass frame must meet the
facing clearances (minimum 0" (0mm) from the side of the fireplace).
Non-combustible mantel columns do not have a minimum clearance.
