Fireplace Clearances:
A fireplace installation requires special clearance between
the side of the stove and the right and left walls, the side of
the stove and the decorative side trim on the fireplace face,
and the top of the stove and the mantel.
Maximum Mantel depth (A, Figure 3.10) of a combustible
mantel is 9” (230 mm). At that depth, the clearance to the
stove top (B) must be a minimum of 22-1/2" (572 mm).
Top Trim (C) protruding less than 1-1/2" (38 mm) from the
face of the fireplace must be a minimum of 12" (305 mm)
from the stove top. This clearance may not be reduced by
shielding.
For every 1
-1/2" (38 mm) increment that the trim or mantel
extends in depth, the clearance from the stove top must also
be increased by 1
-1/2" (38 mm).
Side Trim must have a minimum clearance of 8" (203 mm),
measured from the stove's top edge. (D, Figure 3.11)
