Doors for the GranView
Each fireplace requires a door provided by Wilkening Fireplace Co. to complete the listed unit. To install the door, a heat
resistant gasket and mounting screws are provided in the door carton. Remove the paper backing from the heat resistant
gasket, exposing the adhesive backing. Apply this gasket on the unit face on the outside edge of the predrilled holes
surrounding the fireplace opening. Use the 8 screws provided in the door carton to attach the metal frame to the unit face.
Do not operate this unit without doors. Do not use any other door with this unit. If your door wears and needs replacement
over time, contact your dealer or Wilkening Fireplace Co. for the appropriate replacement.
Heated Air Ducting Options
The GranView comes standard with a heat outlet at the top of the unit and a room air inlet at the base. Several louver
designs are available to finish these openings. This fireplace may also have a separate vent or vents, ducted from the pre-cut
holes in the top of the unit, to areas, next to or behind the installation and may be used in conjunction with or without the
vent out the front.
When venting heated air out of the unit front heat outlet vent, a single top vent may be used. If you desire the front vent to
be sealed, dual top vents must be used.
To vent heat from the top of the unit to side or rear chase locations, the top vent kit manufactured by Wilkening Fireplace
Co. must be used. The top vent kit includes two 8” diameter starter rings which attaches the flexible insulated vent
to the unit, two grill enclosures with stand-offs and two grill covers for the enclosures and a section of 8” insulated
flexible aluminum duct. The insulated aluminum duct provided by Wilkening Fireplace Co. must be used for all top vent
applications. A minimum clearance of 6” must remain between the top of the top vent assembly and the finished ceiling.
The bottom of the top vent must be a minimum of 6” above a combustible mantle and at least 6” above the unit top. Never
allow the vent to create a heat trap. Fins on the grill may point up or down.
The dual vents may be run to separate rooms on the side or back of the chase enclosure creating heat outlet in up to three
areas when the front vent is used. Allow adequate return air from remote areas to the room with the fireplace to assure
proper air circulation. Closeable top vents cannot be used.
An auxiliary heat distribution kit
can be attached to the 4” outlet on the back right side of the fireplace. This kit includes
a 4”-6” adapter, 12’ of 6” class A insulated duct, an inline 150 CFM fan, a grille housing to mount into the framing and a
grille. It can be routed up to 12’ in any direction up, down or to the sides of the fireplace. The inline fan is mounted directly
behind the grille housing and can be wired to a variable speed control or on/off switch by your electrician.
Do not
install
the grille into a floor as combustibles may fall through this and cause a fire hazard.
4. Use only the outside air kit that comes standard with
the unit. This kit includes one 5’ length of 4” insulat-
ed, flex air pipe, two 4” clamps and one 4” screened
outside air vent.
5. The fireplace must be electrically grounded to the
frame of the mobile home. Consult and use the
National Electric Code for wiring installation.
6. The chimney shall extend at least 3 feet above the
part of the roof through which it passes. The top of
the chimney is to be at least 2 feet above the highest
required elevation of any part of the mobile home
located with 10’ of the chimney.
7. The ceiling/roof thimble assembly shall extend com-
pletely through the ceiling/roof cavity of the mobile
home to the outermost plane of the roof.
