Using a Recessed Fireplace Below a 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.

Minimum Dimensions:
(a) Fireplace Recess Height above Base of Fireplace
Recess must fall within shaded portion of the chart above.
(b) Fireplace Recess Depth plus Mantel Depth*
(c) Fireplace Recess Width
* NOTE: The minimum recess plus mantel depth is 8". This allows heat to travel forward and dissipate.
EXAMPLES: If you have a TV that is 3" deep (including the 1" gap behind), you will need to put in a 5" mantel (the 2" is
measured from the front of the TV). The fireplace can then be recessed 3" into the wall to allow for the 8" of recess plus
mantel depth.
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.
