Combustible mantel
clearance can vary according

the graph to help evaluate
the clearance needed. The
three-sided top extension
piece may be removed if
non-combustible framing is
faced with a non-combustible
material.
Dashed lines are suitable mantel sizes and clearances
when a non-combustible facing is used.
