Mantels
The height that a combustible mantel is fitted above the
fireplace is dependent on the depth of the mantel. This
also applies to the distance between the mantel leg (if
fitted) and the fireplace.
For the correct mounting heights and widths, refer to
Figures 30 and 31. When using paint or lacquer to finish
the mantel, such paint or lacquer must be heat resistant
to prevent discoloration.
(Figures 9 and 33) Suitable materials include rock
wool, plaster, cement mortar, cement board, etc.
NoTe:
No side wall protection is required for fireplaces
installed at 45° to two () side walls (corner installation).
The front face may not be covered by any material, but
a noncombustible material may be trimmed along the
top, left and right sides of the front face. The brick tem-
plate is shipped with the unit and is a 1/4” (6 mm) larger
than the front face to help with this installation. Also, up
to 7/8” ( mm) of noncombustible material may cover
the sheet metal surround of the fireplace and be behind
the front face. Be aware that doing this will change the
amount the door protrudes form the face.
