Mantel Requirements• The illustration below details mantel clearances and maximum mantel depth.
• Any material that protrudes more than 3/4” from the non-combustible facing is considered a mantel
and must meet the mantel requirements.
Examples: • If you wish to have a 8” deep mantel, it must be at least 12-1/4” above the fireplace face (49” above the base).
• If you wish to have a mantel 8” above the fireplace face, it must be no deeper than 3-3/4”.

Mantel
(combustible or non-combustible)
Combustible mantel columns (legs) that
protrude more than 3/4” from the glass
frame must meet the sidewall clearance. If
they protrude 3/4” or less, they must meet
the facing clearance (2-1/4” from the glass
frame - to the side of the fireplace, not in
front of it).
Non-combustible mantel columns do not
have a minimum clearance.
