Girard 2GWHDB RV Water Heater Door Installation Kit -- 6-Gallon Suburban, Black, 15 x 15 in.
Converting from a traditional 6-gallon Suburban tank water heater to a Girard tankless unit -- or replacing a damaged access door -- starts with the right installation kit. The Girard 2GWHDB (Lippert part 2022107536, vendor part 11-9107) provides a black, hinged 15 x 15 in. door assembly designed specifically to close out the existing Suburban 6-gallon cutout opening cleanly and professionally.
When RV owners upgrade from a Suburban 6-gallon tank-style water heater to a Girard tankless system, the original wall cutout remains -- and it needs a weather-tight, finished door to close it out properly. The Girard 2GWHDB installation kit is engineered exactly for that opening, so you get a flush, factory-looking fit without cutting, shimming, or fabricating a custom panel.
This kit is also the correct replacement when an existing Girard tankless door installation has a cracked, faded, or damaged black door that needs swapping out without disturbing the surrounding sidewall.
Dimensioned for the standard 6-gallon Suburban water heater wall opening -- no enlarging or patching required.
Color-matched black finish with hinged access panel for periodic service and inspection of the installed unit.
Designed to work alongside Girard tankless water heater installations where the original tank unit has been removed.
Manufactured under the Lippert/Girard brand -- the same organization behind the 2GWH and GSWH tankless water heater line.
This is an installation kit, meaning it contains the components needed to close out and finish the wall opening. Typical kit contents for the 2GWHDB include:
Note: The Girard tankless water heater unit itself is NOT included. This kit covers the door and finishing hardware only. Sealant/caulk for the perimeter is not included and should be applied during installation.
If you are replacing a Suburban SW6D, SW6DE, SW6DEL, or similar 6-gallon tank water heater with a Girard GSWH-2 or 2GWH series tankless unit, this door kit provides the finishing cover for the original cutout opening. The Girard tankless heater mounts internally; this kit closes and frames the exterior wall penetration.
Already have a Girard tankless system installed but the existing black door is cracked, faded, or broken? The 2GWHDB is the correct replacement door kit for that installation. Confirm your existing opening is the 15 x 15 in. Suburban 6-gallon format before ordering.
The 2GWHDB is sized for the 6-gallon Suburban cutout format. Suburban 10-gallon and 12-gallon water heaters use a larger opening and require a different door kit. Measure your wall cutout before ordering to confirm compatibility.
Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic RV sidewall work:
Always follow proper RV sidewall repair and sealing practices. Improper sealing can lead to water intrusion and sidewall damage over time.
