Installation Safety Warnings

Read all instructions before mounting or using the mantel.
Use the mantel only for its intended use as described in these instructions.
DO NOT OVERLOAD MANTEL: The maximum load for all 60-inch mantels is 150 lbs. The maximum load for all 72-inch mantels is 180lbs.
Mantel “superfast” material meets noncombustibility standards in accordance with ASTM E136.
- WARNING: Combustible objects placed on or around the mantel must meet your fireplace manufacturer’s requirements for clearances to combustibles.
- IMPORTANT: The fasteners supplied with this furnishing are intended for use in standard wood stud walls or 16 gauge metal stud walls only. The minimum wall stud size required is 2”x 4”, with drywall or finished wall surface ranging from ½” to ¾” thick.
For all other mounting surfaces, use appropriate fasteners as specified by local building codes or other jurisdictions. For mounting to other wall types; if you are at all unsure of the correct fastening method, contact your local building official. Improper mounting may lead to property damage, injury, or death.
Be sure to follow your fireplace manufacturer’s clearances to non-combustibles or local code if applicable when determining a location for your mantel. Combustibles set on a non-combustible mantle must meet clearance requirements for combustibles.
- IMPORTANT: If you are at all unsure of the correct fastening method, contact your local building official. Improper mounting may lead to property damage, injury, or death.

Installation Notes

Recommended two people to lift and install the mantel.
If you are unable to find studs, you need to open the wall and add wood studs or 16 gauge metal studs if in the non-combustible zone.
A minimum of 3 studs are required to safely install a 5 ft. mantel. Minimum of 4 studs for 6 ft. mantels. Using 2 1/2” sharp point screws, attach the mounting bracket to studs with two screws per stud. See Figure 1 on page 5 for details.
If attaching a mounting bracket over a masonry surface use the proper masonry anchor for the type of surface – consult your fastener supplier. The anchor should be able to support 4 times the load.

Installation Instructions

Step 1. Unpack the mantel from the box. Remove protective foam. Note: the top flange of the mantel has predrilled mounting holes.
Step 2. Locate the mounting bracket and hardware inside of the box.
Step 3. Determine the vertical and horizontal center for the top of the mantel on the wall. Mark this location.
Step 4. After identifying the correct height for attaching the mantel, draw a horizontal line. Install a centered mounting bracket (with the 2″ side on the wall) with 2 sharp point screws per stud. Use 1/8” drill bit to drill holes in the mounting bracket. You will need two people to place the mantel on the bracket and check for level, take the mantel off, and stabilize the mounting bracket with remaining screws. See Figure 2.
Step 5. With two people, lift the mantel and place it over the mounting bracket. When centered and flush against the wall, place one 2 1/4” self-drilling screw in the center pre-drilled hole on top of the mantel. Screw through the mounting angle until the fastener head is flush with the countersunk hole. See Figure 3
- DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
- Fasten screws through the provided holes on top of the mantel.
