INSULATION BLANKETS

GENERAL

The purpose of an insulation blanket is to reduce the standby heat loss encountered with storage tank heaters.

Most modern water heaters have adequate factory installed insulation, the use of an after market insulation blanket is no longer recommended by most experts. While the use of an external insulation blanket will not void the warranty, the water heater manufacturer explicitly disclaims any liability for problems associated with the use of insulation blankets.

NOTE: A few local energy codes may still require the use of insulation blankets on waters heaters. Be sure to follow all installation instructions, cautions, and warnings for the insulation blanket as well as the cautions and warning of the water heaters owners manual.

NOTES

Should you choose to apply an insulation blanket to this heater, you should follow these instructions. Failure to follow these instructions can restrict the air flow required for proper combustion, resulting in fire, asphyxiation, serious personal injury or death.

•Do not cover the outer door, thermostat or temperature & pressure relief valve.

•When installed the insulation blanket will cover important safety and operation labels. Obtain new warning and instruction labels from the Technical Information Center listed in the owners manual. The replacement labels must be placed on the blanket in the location of the original labels on the water heater jacket.

•Do not cover the instruction manual. Keep it on the side of the water heater or nearby for future reference.

•Do not apply insulation to the top of the water heater, as this will interfere with safe operation of the draft hood.

•Do not allow insulation to come within 2” of the base of the water heater to prevent blockage of combustion air flow to the burner. The combustion air openings in the base of the water heater must NOT be obstructed.

•Inspect the insulation blanket frequently to make certain it does not sag, thereby obstructing combustion air flow.
