Once I got it open and unfolded I realized I need a dust mask. I used a 3M Aura dust mask, use something snug fitting, the fiber glass dust starts floating right away, wear gloves as well.I measured the height and circumference of my hot water heater then laid out the fiberglass blanket on the floor and cut about a foot off. I used cutco scissors to cut it.I had to snug it behind my water heater, there was maybe only an inch or so, then cut a slit to accommodate the gas line. I didn't use the tape that came with it. I used some 3in 3M foil tape I had. I just used 4 pieces to hold it together, I didn't use a piece all the way down the seam like it suggested and it worked just fine that way.So, it seems to work with cooler temps in the basement. Maybe next time I'll try out one of the non fiber glass options.

The instructions are OK although the pictures are the biggest help. I found the foil strong enough that it was not breaking as others have reported. The tape is just enough to do the side, but I had to use duct tape to do the top of the electric hot water heater. Don't go crazy with trying to get it very tight against the tank, otherwise you probably will break the foil. The yellow insulation works good although if it gets in your nose you will know it the rest of the day. The dust gets on everything. It has a better r value which is why I got this instead of the other products. It is just big enough to surround the tank.

The foil split rather easy on the cover, I thought when installing. The tape included doesn’t stick very well, had to go over with other foil tape. Make sure and wear a mask this insulation breaks up when installing. Looks like it should give good insulation to the water heater.

the Frost King SP60 insulation blanket arrived quickly and in excellent condition. I is a well made product and easy to install. The insulation is a bit itchy so i would recommend gloves , mask and one of those disposable suits as you will get covered in the stuff. the tape it comes with is of high quality and there is enough to do the job however a few more feet of the stuff would have been nice. If you run into the problem of not enough tape or feel like you want to use more tape around the pipes and what not like I did I would use the foil tape that is used for duct work.

Simple and easy to install, but fiberglass matting will shed lots of giberglass dust (cheaper quality) so wear the propper protective clothes and gloves. Maybe even get more aluminum tape to finish wrap with as inclosed amount is just enough to do the job. Good quality overall and a must for hot water heaters put in basements. If you don't like fiberglass dust buy another type, but for the low price and excellent value for R10 rating, you cant go wrong!
