MANTEL CLEARANCES

In addition to meeting noncombustible mate- rial clearances, you must also meet required clearances between fireplace opening and mantel shelf. If you do not meet the clear- ances listed below, you will need a hood.

Determining Minimum Mantel Clearance

If you meet minimum clearance between mantel shelf and top of fireplace opening, a hood is not required (see Figure 6, page 9).

Determining Minimum Mantel Clear- ance When using a Hood

If minimum clearances in Figure 6 are not met, you must have a hood. When using a hood there are still certain minimum mantel clear- ances required. Follow minimum clearances shown in Figure 7, page 9 when using hood.
