These Instructions detail the Installation Requirements for Wall Mounted Televisions when Installed
above the Fire and should be considered with all other Installation Requirements of the Fire.
IMPORTANT: Due to the High Heat Output of the Fire The Installation Requirements of these
Instructions MUST be Adhered To For Wall Mounted Televisions.
IMPORTANT: The Fire and Trim Style will affect the height and position of the Television therefore it
is important to check what height position options are possible and acceptable.
16.1 - GENERAL
Before continuing with the Television Installation it is important to determine if there is the likelihood of the Chimney Breast
becoming hot when the Fire is in operation. Some of these checks will only provide assistance if a fire has been previously
installed. The following checks will assist but are not conclusive.
a.
Typically Class 1 flues with Dry Lined Walls will normally have acceptable Wall Temperatures provided the air gap is fully sealed
around the builders opening.
b.
If a gas fire was installed and the chimney breast shows any signs of over heating e.g. discoloured wall paper, then do not
consider Installing a Wall Mounted Television as the Temperatures are likely to be too high.
c.
If a gas fire was installed and the Chimney Breast is finished in Wall Paper and shows no signs of temperature damage
then the Wall Temperatures are likely to be acceptable so the Installation can proceed.
d.
A Wall Mounted Television Must Not be sunk into the wall as it will not be in an acceptable ventilated position and this is only
acceptable if additional fan cooling ventilation is provided. It is also likely that higher temperatures from the flue within the
Chimney Breast will occur.
e.
The Wall Mounted Television must be mounted on a suitable bracket or angled bracket that meets the Television Manufacturer’s
requirements and spaces the Television at least 35mm away from the Chimney Breast.
f.
After reading the Installation Requirements you should compare this with the preferred height position of the Television.
