Television Mounting Information

Please note that most television manufacturers and manuals will instruct the owner not to install television above
or near a fireplace . Mounting a television above the fireplace is based on the owner's decision and responsibility .
Faber will not be held liable for any adverse effects on a TV, artwork or other equipment located near the
appliance . It is the customer's or contractor responsibility to verify that their TV or artwork can withstand the wall
temperatures at the installation site .
This fireplace design directs the heat from the fireplace into the fireplace chase to be released from the top heat
release outlet . The design allows for a relatively low temperature on the external wall above the fireplace .
Follow the charts and instruction below for suggested installation of a television above the fireplace
• Please note that electric wiring used for the television must be insulated for heat when installed inside the
chase above the fireplace .
• It is critical that wiring insulation does not obstruct the hot air flow from going to the top part of the chase to be
released back to the room through the heat release outlet .
• All wires MUST be secured and anchored to the frame to prevent any possibility of wires dropping on top of the
fireplace .
• A double layer of drywall is recommended in the area behind the TV to allow cables and other related materials
to be installed without blocking hot air flow . Use non-combustible material for double wall .
• Wires should be inserted into the recess from the top or sides in order to avoid proximity to the fireplace heat
release outlet or air intake inlet .
• Placing insulation above the fireplace may result in a fire hazard . Airflow above the fireplace should remain open
to allow heat to be released from the top of the chase .
• When installing a television above the fireplace without recessing it, a mantel must be installed between the top
of the fireplace and the bottom of the television to avoid exposing the television to excessive heat .
• To reduce the amount of heat around and below the television, increase the size of the heat release outlet as
much as the installation will allow . ALWAYS follow minimum heat release requirements .
• See images for information on minimum clearances for different TV installation options . All dimensions shown
are minimum dimensions . Hot air flow inside the chase (marked in red arrows) should be maintained and free
from obstruction to allow heat to release freely at the top of the chase .
Maintain open airflow between the fireplace and wall covers . Make sure cables or any other materials are not
blocking hot airflow .
