If I mount a TV on the top of it, how far it needs to be from the fireplace?

I would mount the TV a minimum of 12" above the fireplace if you plan to utilize the heat function.

I have one but I am unable to set a tv on top. I was told that it cannot be done since the heat comes out from the top and can damage the tv. I am installing mine in the dinning room instead.

At least 1 and 1/2 foot or higher otherwise does affect the TV and cable box too..

I mounted mine to a stud. But I have a larger tv. It would depend on how much your tv weighs.if possible I would take the safe route.

The directions say to only mount it 2 to 3 feet from the floor. That is what we did. Make sure you know how much room you need for your t.v.

It depends on how close your TV is to the wall. On a TV that's about a foot or so off the wall, I place the strip across the sides and top of the TV, roughly 1/4-1/3 of the way in from the edge. With a TV that's mounted on the wall, you'll likely want to be closer to the edge to get more diffuse light.

The back of the TV is 5 inches from the wall. Your total answer depends on the TV you attach.

Do you have a truly "flat back"?If so, I'd guess 8-10 inches.But do you really want no air flow b/t the back of your tv and wall?

You can push the TV as far back as possible, about four inches from the wall. Also, make sure you put some sort of oil so that the mount moves freely.

I'd say at least 8 inches from the top of the tv to be safe. To install you have to have enough room to slip it in, and to uninstall enough to lift it out. The bracket attaches to the center of the back of tv, so you'd have to measure it out. Good luck!

I have it mounted above my fireplace and had no issues. It's incredibly light compared to the plasma that we replaced. We have this mounting kit http://goo.gl/HOvCn and I installed this http://goo.gl/FiK7r box for running the wires through the wall and power.

Depends on how near and exactly where I would say. The heat that comes out isn't like a heat gun but it is warm/hot. I wouldn't want to put it so it blows onto the TV but within a foot or so I would think is okay but you should follow the manufacturers guidlelines They do have recommendations as to distance from combustibles like drapes, electrical cords etc which is 3 feet. Here's a link to the user manual: http://www.sylvane.com/media/documents/products/heat-storm-deluxe-wall-heater-owners-manual.pdf

It's not extremely close. The top of the TV (measured from the back side of the TV) is six inches away from the wall. You should know though that I have my TV pointed at a slight downward angle so that increases the distance. If it was facing straight ahead, I think the distance would be about 4.5-5 inches from the wall (measured from the back of the TV).I hope this helps.

Use a stud finder to find a stud near where you want the mount. There should be another stud 16" away in each direction. I always drill a pilot hole to make sure there's really a stud in each location I intend to use. I wouldn't recommend using hollow-wall anchors for this because it is quite heavy even without the TV.

It depends on whether you use the vertical tilt feature. I have a 55" TV mounted so that the top is as close to the ceiling as possible and tilted downward about 12-1/2 degrees. The bottom of the TV is 1" from the wall and the top is 6-1/2" from the wall. If it weren't tilted, I would guess that it would be about 2-1/2" from the wall.

Yes I can confirm this. Although the wall studs in my house are 16" there was a stud slightly right of center so to mount my 47" tv and have it centered on the wall over the fireplace required a plate that was wider than the standard size. This worked as the wall plate is over 24" wide with the last set of holes on 24" centers. Have had the TV mounted for over 2 years and no problems

I do not have a tv on the unit, but I do have my wii, dvd player and digital satellite box all on the fireplace. I don't see why a tv (flat screen on stand) couldn't be used there. I wouldn't go any bigger than a 32" though.

Depends...if you dont plan on using fire place, i would check temperatures above fireplace when lit, check with safety codes for placement of items above fire place and would check to make sure there are studs located abovefire place for mounting.
