6.3.3.3 Compliance of a Combustible Mantel Shelf
To ensure compliance of an existing mantel shelf or to install a combustible mantel shelf, refer to table and
figure below. For example, a mantel shelf with a 6’’ depth (152 mm) (( C) value) must be installed at least
58" (1473 mm) ((B) value) above the bottom of the fireplace (see figure below). Different mantel shelf
dimensions are listed in the following table. However, no combustible mantel shelf can be installed at less
than 58" (1473 mm) above the bottom of the fireplace. If the depth of the mantel shelf is not listed in the
table below, add 52" (1321 mm) to the depth of your mantel shelf to obtain the safe positioning of your
mantel shelf. For example, for a 9" (229 mm) mantel shelf, the safe positioning would be 61" (1549 mm)
above the bottom of the fireplace 52" (1321 mm) + 9" (229 mm)).
