Lexington Federal Series Fireplace Non-Combustible Mantel
The Federal mantel shelf carries the dentil molding, curves and fine beading of Federal-style architecture, a traditional choice for a colonial-style fireplace. Lexington also makes it in wood; this is the non-combustible version, cast in Burncrete.
It is 6.5" deep and 5" high and hand-painted in Luna (white), Avocado or Raven (black). Model number FD-5-LH (60") or FD-6-LH (72"), followed by WH, GR or BK.
The Federal: Colonial Detail That Can Sit Close to the Fire
The non-combustible casting can be mounted closer to a heat source than a wood shelf, which leaves more room for a TV above. Lexington's install guide calls for at least 6" of clearance above equipment under 50,000 Btu and 12" at 50,000 Btu or more; your fireplace's clearances and local code come first.
At 41 lb (60") or 50 lb (72"), it mounts on a steel bracket screwed into the studs. Set it over a gas fireplace or browse the rest of the Lexington Hearth collection.

FAQs
Can I get the Federal in a custom length?
No. Because of the dentil molding, the Federal comes only in 60" and 72". Reach out to our team with any color questions.
How is it installed?
With two people and basic tools. Screw the bracket into the studs (3 for the 60", 4 for the 72"), set the mantel on it, drive three screws down through the top, then fill and touch up the holes. For walls other than wood framing, consult a professional.
