INSTALLATION
MANTEL CLEARANCES
In addition to meeting noncombustible material clearances, you must also meet required clearances
between fireplace opening and mantel shelf. If the clearances listed below are
not met, you will need a hood.
Determining Mantel Clearances
If you meet minimum clearance requirements between mantel shelf and top of fireplace opening, a
hood is not necessary (see Fig. 7.1).
Noncombustible
Material Distance
Requirements for Safe Installation
8 in. or more Noncombustible material okay.
Less than 8 in. Noncombustible material must be extended to at least 8 in. See
between 8 in. and 12 in. above. If you can not extend material, you
must operate heater with flue damper open.
Determining Minimum Mantel Clearance When Using a Hood
If minimum clearances in Fig. 7.1 are not met, you must have a hood. When using a hood there
are still certain minimum mantel clearances required. Follow minimum clearances shown in Fig. 7.2
when using a hood.
