3.6.1.1 TV Recess Construction
WARNING: All clearances to venting must be maintained.
Mounting a television above a fireplace has become a common
practice. Television surface temperatures are affected by mantel
depth, ceiling heights, and wall and mantel construction material.
Most television manufacturers specify in their instructions that a
television should not be installed on, near, or above a heat source.
Television location rests solely on the homeowner. It is the home
owner's responsibility that the preferred TV mounting and mantel
design will not exceed the listed maximum operation temperature of
their electronic goods.
Tests performed determined that surface temperatures did not exceed
150°F (66°C) when a 4¼" (108mm) deep recess is constructed above the
fireplace. See illustration below.
