MANTELS
The graph in Figure 7 shows a range of allowable
depths and heights for a
combustible
mantel
installation.
As shown, the minimum allowable mantel height
above the fireplace opening is 2”/50
mm
with a
1”/25
mm
deep mantel.
The maximum mantel depth is 12”/300
mm
at a
minimum height above the fireplace opening of
13”/330
mm
.
All of the mantel height/depth combinations fall in
between these extremes in accordance with Figure
12.
Mantels made of
non-combustible
material are
allowed inside these dimensions but they will be
subjected to elevated temperatures and may be
too hot to touch.
A typical completed installation with mantel is
shown in Figure 8.
