Width  is  measured  from  the  face  of  the  fireplace 
door. When the non-combustible wall is recessed, the 
width  of  the  mantle  can  be  increased  by  the  amount 
of the recess.  For instance, if the wall is recessed by 
4  inches  the  maximum  width  of  the  mantle  at  49 
inches high could be 6 inches. By the same analogy a 
mantle at 62 inches high could be 12 inches wide.
