The height that a combustible mantel is tted above the
replace is dependent on the depth of the mantel. This
also applies to the distance between the mantel leg (if
tted) and the replace.
For the correct mounting heights and widths, refer to
Figures 22 and 23. When using paint or lacquer to nish
the mantel, such paint or lacquer must be heat resistant
to prevent discoloration.

Adjacent combustible side walls that are within mini-
mum dimensions shown in Figure 25 of the replace
opening must be protected with MHSC Wall Shield
Model SP40 or a specically built wall shield described
in Figure 20.
The special wall shield design described in Figure 20 is
an alternate method of adding protection to side walls
and can be used in place of the SP40 with the same
wall clearances specied for the SP40. Rt must =1.85
minimum.
