Televisions Placed Above the Fireplace
The following section gives guidelines to place a television above the fireplace.
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING TELEVISIONS AND THIS FIREPLACE
Most television manufacturers instruct the homeowner not to place the television above a heat source like this
fireplace. Doing so may decrease the longevity of the television and negate the warranty. If you do place a television
above the fireplace, you should place a mantel (or build-out) between the fireplace and television (or use a
CoolSmart TV Wall™ kit). Follow the guidelines below to reduce the amount of heat reaching the television. Travis
Industries does not take responsibility for any negative impact on televisions placed near this fireplace.
Min. 1" (26mm)
Minimum Dimensions:
(a) Minimum Mantel Height above Base of Fireplace*
(b) Mantel Depth*
(c) Optional Columns (or Build-Out)
* Minimum mantel depth must be 8" (203mm) to allow heat to dissipate. If using a mantel larger than 8"
(203mm), make sure to adjust the mantel height (a) to meet the mantel clearance (see mantel requirements
and/or chart above).
The mantel must extend 2" (51mm) in front of the television and 1" (26mm) to both sides.
If you have a television that is greater than 6" (153mm) deep (including the 1" (26mm) gap behind), you will
need to alter the mantel depth and height (see the example below).
The television must have a 1" (26mm) gap to the wall to allow for proper cooling. Any build-out near the
television must maintain a 3" (77mm) gap to the top and sides to prevent heat from being trapped near the
television.
WIRING NOTE: If running wiring into the enclosure, you may wish to use thermal insulating wrap around the wiring.
Secure the wiring to protect from contact with hot surfaces.
