Clearances to Combustible Mantels
An 8” combustible mantel may be installed at a minimum of 49" above the floor level of this Fireplace. Non-combustible
(marble, brick, stone, metal etc.) mantels can be installed at any desired height above the top convection air opening. Any pre-
existing combustible mantel must fall within the approved mantel profile chart.
WARNING: Make proper use of this chart. Do not compromise the specifications contained in this chart.
Failure to adhere to proper clearances required to combustibles may cause spontaneous combustion of the mantel and
may
result in a fire causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
NOTE: For mantels that protrude more than 8 inches from the front surface of the fireplace use a rise and run of (1:1) to
calculate the required height to the mantel.
EXAMPLE: You have a 12" mantel. To calculate the height above the convection air opening the equation
would be: (Depth of Mantel) – 8” + 49” = (Height above the floor of the fireplace)
12” – 8” + 49” = 53”
DO NOT deviate from this minimum clearance requirement. Doing so can lead to a severe fire hazard.
