Woodwork such as wood trims, mantels, or any other 
combustible material projecting from the front face must not 
be placed within 9 inches of the fireplace opening. 
Combustible materials above 9 inches and projecting more 
than 1 -1/2 inches from the fireplace face must not be placed 
less than 12 inches from the top of the opening of the fireplace 
(NFPA STD 211, Sec. 7-3.3.3). 
 
 

 

 

Mantels or any other combustible materials also may come up

long as the projection from the front face falls within the limits 
depicted in figure 25.

push the handle back into the keyhole slot then pull down and 
forward to lock it in place (see figure 26).
