COMBUSTIBLE MANTELS
Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical.
Combustible mantel clearances from top of unit are shown in the diagram below.
Note: A non-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower height if the framing is
made of metal studs covered with a non-combustible board.
This drawing is to scale at 1:6 (one inch = 6 inches). Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded
area or higher using the above scale.
Note: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the facing is "heat resistant"
or the paint may discolour.
MANTEL LEG CLEARANCES
Combustible mantel leg clearances as per diagram below:
Maximum
1-1/2" (38mm) projection
at 2" (51mm) minimum
clearance.
The HeatWave Duct Kit has different
clearance and framing requirements,
check the HeatWave manual for details.
