Clearances
If you are planning to mount a TV above your fireplace some considerations must be made to ensure it is
protected from the heat. A recess, mantel, or a combination of both will be needed in order to keep the heat
away from the TV. To insure protection of electronics and art above the fireplace the Cool Surface System
option is available (50-3463), this reduces wall temperatures greatly while still providing heating.
During testing temperatures did not exceed 150°F (65°C) in a 5” deep recess.
There is no guarantee
that these temperatures will not harm the longevity of your TV. Make sure to consult your TV manufacture’s
specifications to find the maximum allowable operating temperature. Since every home and installation is
unique, temperatures should be verified at the time of install if possible. A TV should not be installed if
temperatures exceed the manufacturers maximum allowable temperature.
See Figure 44 and Figure 45 for minimum TV installation clearances. Make sure there is 2” of clearance around
the sides and top of the TV to allow for airflow. Remember these are
minimum dimensions increasing them
can only help reduce the temperature the TV is subjected too.
If installing with a mantel to protect the TV please see Figure 44 for clearances, it is highly recommended to
use at least a 8” mantel. The minimum distance from the base of the unit to the bottom of the TV would be
45.75”.
If a recessed installation is desired please see Figure 45 for TV clearances. The recess will need to protrude
from the wall for proper protection, this dimension is dependant on the TV and TV mounting bracket depth.
The minimum distance from the base of the unit to the bottom of the TV would be 47.00”.
