Important Warnings
- The cover must NEVER RESTRICT AIRFLOW into the Burner Area
on a gas water heater (located at the bottom of the tank).

valve (located on the top or side of tank), or burner access
cover.
- On electric tanks, do not put material over access cover
or the wiring connection box.
Directions
| Step 1: |
Wrap water heater starting at the top of tank and cut metalized film
to overlap two (2) inches. Face metalized film side of material away from tank.
Continue down tank as stated above. |
| Step 2: |
Use remaining pieces to fabricate top circle. Make two
semi circles slightly larger than the tank. Cut access holes
for water intake, water outlet, draft diverter and any other
protruding valves or pipes. NOTE: When two halves of top are
placed on the heater, sides should extend about 1/2" beyond
the edge of the water heater all the way around. |
| Step 3: |
Put top pieces on water heater and tape seams with foil
tape. |
| Step 4: |
Fit the jacket loosely around the heater. Tape the large
piece to top piece. Then tape the vertical seam. NOTE: CUT
OPENING IN THE JACKET TO ALLOW EXPOSURE OF THE POP OFF VALVE
PIPE. |
| Step 5: |
Cut out holes for burner cover, controls, drain, etc. Make
hole about two (2) inches larger than access opening to
allow plenty of airflow around burner area. |
| NOTE: |
When installed properly, the jacket should hang loosely,
and slightly extended away from the sides of the water
heater. |
| Optional: |
You may want to tape jacket to tank around access hold.
This will keep edges secure. |
