Finalizing the Installation
Televisions Placed Above the Fireplace
The following section details three methods to allow for television installation above the fireplace.
Using a Mantel Between the Fireplace and Television
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING TELEVISIONS AND THIS FIREPLACE
Most television manufacturers instruct the homeowner to not place the television above a heat source. Doing so may
negatively affect the longevity of the television and may negate the warranty. If you do place a television above the
fireplace, please be aware of the large amount of heat generated by the fireplace and consider placing the television
above a mantel to reduce the amount of heat that reaches the television. The homeowner must understand that
Travis Industries does not take responsibility for any negative impact to televisions placed near this fireplace.
b
Mantel Must be
Min. 1" (26mm) Thick
Minimum Dimensions:
(a) Minimum Mantel Height above Base of Fireplace*
(b) Mantel Depth*
* Mantel depth is 8" minimum to allow heat to travel forward and dissipate. If using more than an 8" mantel,
make sure to make the mantel height (a) higher (see mantel requirements on page 37 for details).
NOTE: The mantel must extend 2" (51mm) in front of the TV and 1" (26mm) to both sides. If you have a TV that is
greater than 6" (153mm) deep (including the 1" (26mm) gap behind, you will need to alter the mantel depth and
height.
WIRING NOTE: If running wiring into the enclosure, use thermal insulating wrap around the wiring. Secure the wiring
to protect from contact with hot surfaces.
