6.2.5.3 Compliance of a Combustible Mantel Shelf
To ensure compliance of an existing
mantel shelf or to install a combustible
mantel shelf, refer to table and figure
below. For example, a mantel shelf with
a 6'' depth (152 mm) ((C) value) must be
installed at least 58" (1473 mm) ((B)
value) above the bottom of the fireplace
(see figure below). Different mantel
shelf dimensions are listed in the
following
table.
combustible mantel shelf can be
installed at less than 58" (1473 mm)
above the bottom of the fireplace. If the
depth of the mantel shelf is not listed in
the table below, add 52" (1321 mm) to
the depth of your mantel shelf to obtain
the safe positioning of your mantel
shelf. For example, for a 9" (229 mm)

be 61" (1549 mm) above the bottom of
the fireplace 52" (1321 mm) + 9" (229
mm)).
