Can I use the PowerBridge if I am mounting the TV above a fireplace?

I would not recommend PowerBridge for use anywhere (See my review). There is a far more cost effective method.Send me an email at laurie.pike@sky.com if you want details of how I managed.

I am not sure myself, but send an email to customerservice@powerbridgesolution.com as I did need to ask them a few questions and they were very responsive. Good luck.

You won't want to do that with any bracket. The bracket needs to be mounted firmly in place. If you were gonna move the tv that might be ok. But moving the bracket is a BAD idea.

Yes, anytime you have heat that is directly in contact with a electrical cord, this can posed a risk. I suggest that you move the fireplace power cord away from the wall plug.

Code says no. You can buy cords that are insulated and safe to run behind drywall. you'd plug tv cord to insulated cord OUTSIDE of wall and then let insulated plug end run thru gang plate, behind wall & come out of 2nd plate near floor & attach to surge protector. I used a set of these plates & insulated cord for small monitor mounted on inside uninsulated wall. But for 2nd TV job I realized by the time i purchased insulated power cord etc. I was almost at the cost of a power bridge. Powerbridge have recessed holes like these for hdmi, cat 6, rca etc and they have an attached power outlet. The 2 powerbridge boxes 1 behind tv 1 near outlet have an insulated power cord that you just plugs into the back of each (no electrical experience needed) that cord is hidden behind the wall with you other cables. Your TV plugs into your new recessed outlet & then they usually come with a short cord to plug to connect lower box to your walls floor level power outlet. Some kits come with equipment to fish cables thru etc. I bought a "Legrand In-Wall Power Kit for Flat-Panel TV" on ebay for $24.00 it was larger than i wanted but cheaper than smaller ones. Good luck. If you do use these DataComm boxes & you are handy you can install them using a 1 & 1/2" spade drill bit instead of sawing square hole & using mounting brackets(not included). Just drill a hole above another hole overlapping by 1/4" making a figure 8 hole & these pop right in. I used a little power grab, you may need some light duty plastic drywall anchors.

I don't know how big your power cable is, but to give you some perspective, if you had a standard AC power cable (like for a toaster) and you cut off the plug in portion, that cable would easily fit through. It's an oval shaped hole. I'm very happy with the mount and would have had no issues if I wanted to ceiling mount.

You can plug something in above it, as long as it doesn't have an oversized plug (ie ac adaptor). A standard plug usually fits fine.

Yes you can. The only problem with this setup is the power adapter the one I got just keeps making a ticking sound. I was lucky I had a spare on hand to make it work.

My mount was cheap all around. I tried hanging a 70" sharp over fireplace and as soon as I put it on mount, they bent allowing tv to sag. Learned the hard way not to skimp on the mount.

I don't see any reason why not. There are wire nuts for the power cord and a ground wire. 'Just need to plan for the mounting plate attachment to the wall, as there are studs on this plate for the decorative nuts.

Yes. Although it does require the power cable to operate. So plan for where to mount it based on proximity to outlet.

Grace, We recommend against putting your TV or any electronic device over a fireplace. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

you probable could as long as it was not really big we hung ours above our fireplace with a moving wall mount

I don't see why not.... We have ours plugged in to a power bar because where we had to mount it is too far from the plug. Hope this helps!

I mounted mine on the wall, right under an outlet. I am sure that it would work well, providing you use a suitable cord, but the book said no, which is why I moved the outlet up a couple of feet.

This may be dependent upon electrical coding regulations in your town. If the outlet is near the spot where you will be mounting the fireplace you can create a hole near the bottom area of the wall behind the fireplace and fish it through to plug into the outlet.

Yes, we hardwired our lamp light onto the wall behind our sofa. Ask an electrician to do it if you are not confident.

For my purpose, hanging a 70in TV on top of a fireplace, I needed an outlet behind the tv. Plus I wanted to have a professional look with all wires behind the wall. So yes I had to run a power line from an existing outlet. This product helped me achieve that. Its also for old construction so no need for a stud.
