INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

REFLECTIVE BARRIER WATER HEATER

Fully Encapsulated Fiberglass, Double Sided

with Aluminum Foil

WARNING FOR GAS HEATERS

WARNING FOR ELECTRIC HEATERS

Make sure the blanket does not block proper venting across the top of the heater and does not obstruct the air flow

into the burner area.

Take care that the insulation does not cover heating element controls or the power connection. Failure to do so can

cause an electric shock.

1. Completely clean the top of the heater with detergent and warm water. Do not use

solvent-based cleaners. Make sure that the water heater top is completely dry.

2. With the vinyl side out, wrap the 48" width of the insulation around the water heater with the

tabs at the top. Mark the vinyl at the point the insulation overlaps.

3. Using a knife and a straight edge, cut the jacket with the vinyl side up 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.
