Using a Buildout 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.

(c) Fireplace Buildout Width

* Buildout depth is 8” minimum to allow heat to travel forward and dissipate. If using more than an 8” buildout, make
sure to make the buildout height (a) higher (buildout must meet mantel requirements - see page 36 for details).
NOTE
: The buildout must extend 2” in front of the TV and 3” to both sides and top. If you have a TV that is greater than 6”
deep (including the 1” gap behind), you will need to alter the buildout 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.
