Tv Installation Above A Fireplace - Rinnai Neo RIB2311N Installation Manual

TV installation above a fireplace

If installing a flat screen TV above the fire, the main issue is heat. Heat from the fire, and
heat from the flueing components that sit behind the TV—especially if recessed
The Neo gas fires have a fan that

distributes warm air from the top

of the appliance out into the room.
As warm air is dispersed outwards,
as opposed to directly upwards,
installation of a TV may be an
option.
The diagram shows recommended
clearances when installing a TV

combustibles to a mantel.
For a TV mounted directly above
the Neo, the mantel must be at
least the depth of the TV to deflect
heat away from the appliance.
Always check with the TV
supplier
It is up to the owner to check
the TV installation with the TV
supplier to verify clearances. Some
TV manufacturers have warranty
conditions that state a TV is not to
be installed above a fireplace.
Rinnai does not accept any
responsibility for damage to a
TV resulting from the use of this
information.
