No combustible mantel can be installed lower than 17" above the top of the firebox opening. A combustible
mantel cannot be wider than 12".
For combustible mantel depths not mentioned in the list above, you can interpolate the minimum installation
height between the two closest mantel depths. For example:
•
Mantel depth to be installed: 9 ¼"
•
It is between 8" and 10" with corresponding installation heights of 20" and 24 ½"
•
So: ((9.25 – 8) / (10-8) x (24.5-20)) + 20 = 22.8125 = 22

Minimum installation height of a

mantel:

above the firebox opening.
If the combustible mantel has a cross-section with variable depth, it has to be installed so that its widest part is
not installed lower than the corresponding minimum installation height while making sure that the lowest point
of the mantel is not installed lower the minimum installation height corresponding to it depth.
Refer to the "Installation: Mantel" section for particulars.
