Finish Wall
Finish the wall with material of your choice. Do not
install a combustible mantel shelf less than 12"
(305 mm) from the top of the fireplace opening. Do
not install a mantel face plate less than 6" (154 mm)
from top of fireplace opening. (Fig. 24) If a combus-
tible material is used below a flat mantel shelf, consult
your local building codes for minimum clearance from
top of fireplace opening to bottom of mantel shelf.
All joints (top, bottom and sides) where wall or deco-
rative facing material meets fireplace surround must
be completely sealed with a noncombustible material.
(Figs. 21-23)
NOTE: No side wall protection is required for fireplaces
installed at 45° to two (2) side walls (corner installa-
tion).
