MANTEL CLEARANCES
In addition to meeting noncombustible material clearances, you must also meet required clearances between fireplace opening and mantel shelf. If you do not meet the clearances 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).
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 clearances required. Follow minimum clearances shown in Figure 7 when using hood.
