Mantels

The height that a combustible mantel is fitted above the

Noncombustible

fireplace is dependent on the depth of the mantel. This

also applies to the distance between the mantel leg (if

Finish Material

fitted) and the fireplace.

For the correct mounting height and widths refer to

Figs. 3a and 3b, the following Mantel Charts.

Noncombustible mantels and legs may be installed at

CFM170a

any height and width around the appliance.
