MANTELS
The graph below (Figure __) 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 the chart below.
Mantels made of
non-combustible
material are allowed inside these dimensions but they will be subjected to elevated
temperatures and may become too hot to touch.
A typical completed installation with mantel is shown in the diagram below, on the right.
