INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Completely clean the outside of the heater with detergent and warm water. Do not use
solvent-based cleaners. Make sure that the water heater is completely dry.
2. With the vinyl side out, and starting at the top edge, wrap the 75" length of the insulation
around the water heater. Mark the vinyl at the point the insulation overlaps.
3. Using a knife and a straight edge, cut the jacket along the line marked at the overlap.
Cut 3 strips of tape 6" long and tape the insulation together at the top, middle and bottom.
4. Cut out insulation over burner control area on gas units and thermostat on electric unit.
Center and apply tape down the entire length of the seam.
5. For gas heaters: Do not insulate the top of gas water heaters.
For oil heaters: Cut the remaining tape into pieces of approx. 6". Then tape the excess
insulation to the top of the water heater.
For electric heaters: Cut the excess insulation to fit around hot and cold water pipes and the
relief valve. Then use the remaining tape to fasten insulation to the top of the water heater.
Precautions: Avoid contact with skin or eyes. Wear long-sleeved, loose-fitting clothing, gloves
and eye protection. Wash with soap and water after handling.
**“R” means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R value, the greater the insulating power.

Instructions:
WARNING FOR GAS HEATERS: Make sure the blanket does not block venting across
the top of the heater and does not obstruct the air flow into the burner area.
WARNING FOR ELECTRIC HEATERS: Take care that the insulation does not cover
heating element controls or the power connection. Failure to do so can cause an
electric shock.
