Mantel Clearances
Mantel clearances for this fireplace may be measured from the top of the convection air opening or the
floor level of this fireplace.
The location that is referenced normally to measure mantel clearances is the top
of the convection air opening. The chart and diagram, in this page, provide all the reference dimensional
information necessary in determining the distance a combustible mantel may protrude out from the face
surface of this fireplace. The chart shows the distance from the fireplace face that the combustible mantel
may protrude outward at a distance up from floor level of this fireplace.
If you prefer to take measurements from the top of the convection air opening, note that the top of the
convection air opening is 26 ½
”
up from the floor level of
this fireplace.
Warning
: Make proper use of this chart. Do not
compromise the specifications contained in this chart.
Failure to adhere to proper clearances required to
combustibles may cause overheating of the mantel.
Note:
For mantels that protrude more than 8
”
from the
front surface of the fireplace, use a rise and run of (1:1)
to calculate the required height of the mantel.
Example:
You have a 12" mantel. To calculate the height
above the convection air opening the equation would be
14" + 12" = 26" above the convection air opening.
