No, this jacket is specifically sized for 48" x 18" cylinders. Using it on a larger tank will leave sections exposed.
No tools are required. The kit includes all necessary ties for a manual installation.
Yes, the material is flame retardant, though it should never be in direct contact with an uninsulated live electrical connection.
The jacket should not be submerged. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior if cleaning is necessary.
While primarily for thermal insulation, the thick 80mm padding can help dampen minor noises from the water heater.
Tighten the provided fastening ties or adjust the overlap of the panels to ensure a snug fit against the cylinder surface.
Carefully trim the insulation material using sharp utility shears to accommodate existing pipe work, ensuring the cut edges are flush.
Installation is designed for DIY success. First, ensure the power to your immersion heater is switched off for safety. Position the four panels around the cylinder, ensuring the seams are aligned tightly to prevent thermal leakage. Use the included fastening ties to secure the panels firmly against the tank walls. Compatibility is limited to standard cylinders measuring 48" by 18"; measure your tank height and diameter precisely before starting. For care, keep the area around the jacket dry, and occasionally wipe with a damp cloth if dust accumulates, as the material is maintenance-free.
