Hello !

I have designed a metal mantel made of hot rolled steel that projects 4" in depth from the opening of the firebox. My fireplace specs are not clear if this is acceptable or if the depth needs to be reduced.

This is for a Heat & Glo - 8000CMOD-IFT

Any information is greatly appreciated !

If it is entirely metal then there are no clearance requirements. Just don't put it so close that it becomes a frying pan on top.
