A combustible mantel shelf MUST NOT be installed less than 7" above the top
of the fireplace opening. A combustible mantel shelf MUST NOT be deeper
than 12".
For combustible mantel shelf depths between 6" and 12", simply install the
mantel shelf at a distance above the fireplace opening corresponding to the
mantel shelf depth.
If the combustible mantel shelf varies in depth, it has to be installed so that its
thickest part is not installed lower than the corresponding minimum installation
height. Also, the thinnest point of the mantel shelf must not be installed lower
than the minimum installation height corresponding to its depth.
Refer to the “INSTALLATION: Mantel” section.
If the combustible mantel leg varies in depth, it has to be installed so that its
thickest part is not installed closer than the corresponding minimum installa-
tion distance. Also, the thinnest point of the mantel leg must not be installed
closer than the minimum installation distance corresponding to its depth.
Refer to the “INSTALLATION: Mantel” section.
