COMBUSTIBLE MANTELS
Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical.
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.
These drawings are 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.
