Vermont Casting 1610 installation instructions Fireplace and Mantel Trim Clearances

An unprotected mantel (“A”, Fig. 15) cannot be more than 9” (230 mm) deep and must have a minimum clearance of 41” (1041 mm), measured from the stove’s top plate. With a ventilated shield, this clearance may be reduced safely to 29” (737 mm).

Unprotected top trim (B) protruding 3/4” (19 mm) or less from the face of the fireplace must be a minimum of 28” (711 mm) from the stove’s top surface. With a ventilated trim shield, this clearance may be reduced safely to 21” (533 mm).

Unprotected side trim (C) that protrudes 3/4” (19 mm) or less from the face of a fireplace must have a minimum clearance of 14” (356 mm), measured from the stove’s top side edge. If the trim extends more than 3/4” (19 mm), it is subject to the requirements for wall clearance.
