No combustible mantel shelf can be installed lower than 16½" above the top of the firebox opening. A
combustible mantel shelf cannot be deeper than 12".
For any combustible mantel shelf depths between 4" and 12", you can calculate the minimum installation height.
For example:
•
Mantel shelf depth to be installed: 9½"
•
So:
((
9.5"
– 4") x 1.4375) + 17" = 24.9 = 25"
•
Thus minimum installation height of a
9½"
mantel:
25"
above the firebox opening.
If the combustible mantel shelf 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.
