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 clearances listed in Figure 6 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).
Determining Minimum Mantel Clearance 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
