MANTELS
The graph in Figure 13 shows a range of allowable depths and heights for a combustible mantel installation.
As shown, the minimum allowable mantel height above the replace opening is 2”/50 mm with a 1”/25 mm deep mantel.
The maximum mantel depth is 12”/300 mm at a minimum height above the replace opening of 13”/330 mm.
All of the mantel height/depth combinations fall in between these extremes in accordance with Figure 13.
Mantels made of non-combustible material are allowed inside these dimensions but they will be subjected to elevated
temperatures and may become too hot to touch.
A typical completed installation with mantel is shown in Figure 14.
