Mantel Clearances for Built-In
Installation
If placing custom mantel above built-in rebox,
you must meet the minimum allowable clearance
between mantel shelf and top of rebox opening
shown in Figure 7. These are the minimum allowable
mantel clearances for a safe installation. Use larger
clearances wherever possible to minimize the heating
of objects and materials placed on the mantel.
CAUTION: Close screens

If your installation does not meet the minimum
clearances in Figure 7, you must:
• raise the mantel to an acceptable height,
OR
• remove the mantel.
Figure 7 - Minimum Mantel Clearances
for Built-In Installation
Note: Your Vanguard rebox is designed to be
used in zero clearance installations. Wall or fram-
ing material can be placed directly against any
exterior surface on the rear, sides or top of your
rebox, except where standoff spacers are inte-
grally attached. If standoff spacers are attached to
your rebox, these spacers can be placed directly
against wall or framing materials.
Use the dimensions shown for rough openings to
create the easiest installation (see Built-In Firebox
Installation, page 13).
