Mantel Requirements
Combustible Mantels
 Use the table below to determine the maximum mantel depth allowed. The mantel depth (measured
from the face of the fireplace) must fall in the shaded portion of the table.
 Any material that protrudes more than 3/4” (19mm) from the non-combustible facing is considered a
mantel and must meet the mantel requirements.
Examples:
- If you wish to have a 6” (152mm) deep mantel, it must be at least 37” (940mm) above the base of the fireplace.
- If you wish to have a 2” (51mm) deep breastplate, it must be at least 36” (914mm) above the base of the fireplace.
Non-Combustible Mantels
Non-combustible mantels must meet the clearances listed for combustible mantels. However, if you do
wish to reduce the clearances by using a non-combustible mantel, the following requirements must be met:
 Non-combustible
mantel
and facing must extend
from the top of the
appliance to the top
surface of the mantel.
 A
non-combustible
header must be used
(metal stud).
Combustible Mantel
Combustible mantel columns (legs) that protrude more than 3/4" (0.75mm) from the glass frame must
meet the 1" (25mm) sidewall clearance. If they protrude 3/4" (0.75mm) or less, they may be placed
directly to the side (but not in front) of the fireplace.
Non-combustible mantel columns do not have a minimum clearance.
