HDTV and Recess Clearances
If you're planning to mount a TV or artwork above the fireplace than some considerations must be made to ensure
delicate objects are protected from heat. During testing temperatures did not exceed 50F over ambient on the front
exterior wall. 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. The minimum permitted TV height may need
to be increased to prevent the mounting screws from penetrating the fireplace cabinet.

Note on Media Cable Routing
- All wiring and cables should be routed along the inside front and side walls of the
chase, well clear of venting or any part of the fireplace. During testing internal side and front wall surface temperatures,
at least 20" above the top of the fireplace opening, did not exceed the rated temperature limits of rigid PVC conduit or
System 636® CPVC.
