MINIMUM MANTEL AND ENCLOSURE
CLEARANCES
Combustible mantel clearance can vary according to the mantel depth.
Use the graph to help evaluate the clearance needed. Curtains, above
the fi replace, must not be positioned lower than the 2" distance re-
quired for the 2" combustible mantel. These same requirements ap-
ply to any combustibles protruding on either side of the fireplace.
The fi replace requires a minimum enclosure height of 55“. For tempera-
ture requirements, the enclosure space around and above the fi replace
must be left unobstructed.
