6.3.3 Framing, Facing, Mantel, and Combustible Shelf
6.3.3.1 Framing
The construction of the framing, facing, and mantel must be in accordance with the
standards and the following illustrations:
A. Frame the sides and back of the fireplace using 2" × 3" (5 cm x 8 cm) or heavier
lumber. However, the front studs as well as headers on top of the fireplace must be of
a depth no more than the depth of the top standoffs.
WARNING: COMBUSTIBLE FRAMING MATERIAL CANNOT BE USED IN THE SPACE
DIRECTLY ABOVE THE FIREPLACE, EXCEPT FOR THE STUDS ABOVE
THE FACING THAT SUPPORT THE FACING MATERIAL AND MANTEL.
THIS AREA MUST REMAIN EMPTY FOR A HEIGHT OF 80” (2.03 M)
MEASURED FROM THE BASE OF THE APPLIANCE.
B. Frame the fireplace with vertical studs at the sides of the fireplace running from floor to
ceiling. Position the studs back from the front edge of the fireplace, a space the
thickness of the facing material so that the facing can be installed flush with the
fireplace facing. Frame headers between the vertical studs only as follows:
Place the front facing headers in 2" × 3" or of a depth no more than the depth of the
top standoffs. Do not put wood or any material within the area above the fireplace
except what’s necessary to support the front facing.
Place headers only as required to support the facing and mantel.
WARNING: DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES INSIDE THE CHASE WITH
INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS.
WARNING: THE FIREPLACE MUST NOT BE IN CONTACT WITH ANY INSULATION
OR LOOSE FILLING MATERIAL. FOR THIS PURPOSE, COVER THE
INSULATION WITH DRYWALL PANELS OR ANY OTHER FINISHING
MATERIAL INSIDE THE CHASE AROUND THE FIREPLACE.
