Assembly Instructions
Installation of a Mantel for a Fireplace
Your 60 inch long by 12 inch deep mantel can be installed by supporting with it with two or
three corbels placed on the wall just underneath the mantel.
1. Determine the height you would like the mantel to be at and mark this line below the
mantel taking care to make sure the line is level.
2. Each corbel has four metal straps with holes. The corbels will be attached to the wall by
using mortar or PL Premium* between the back of the corbel and wall. If mortared
stone with a scratch coat is being installed, mortar is the preferred adhesive. If installing
ClipStone mortarless stone veneer, PL Premium will be used. You will spread all four
straps on the back of the corbel and attach with wood screws to the substrate after
applying the adhesive. This will hold the corbels in place while the adhesive dries.
