M-D Building Products 04689 R11 Water Heater Insulation Blankets

This water heater jacket works but it is not a fully encapsulated fiberglass blanket. So you have to be careful when you are installing it as the glass fibers are not as well bound as Owens Illinois fiberglass. Also the adhesive tape to secure the blanket is mediocre at best. I'd recommend you get some white duct tape if you plan to purchase this blanket.

I recently purchased a more expensive water heater blanket, only to find it didn't fully cover a 50 gallon water heater. So I purchased this one to cover the missing gap and found it worked just as well if not better than the more expensive one. Save yourself some money and get this cheaper model - it is just as good if not better than more expensive ones. It sheds just like the more expensive ones so wear gloves and a long sleeve shirt when installing.I Highly Recommend this Item.

Awful product, fiberglass fibers go everywhere and coated my entire utility area. I've used other water heater blankets and they were simple and easy to install. No muss, no fuss. This particular product was unwieldy and required lots of cutting. Got so frustrated that I just scrapped it and threw it away. Would recommend a double sided foil blanket if you are going to purchase a water heater blanket.

Very low quality & no way its R11 thickness!!

Works great.

The tape didnt stick well. The whole item was a little small --too short and too small around-- for my water heater. I wished there had been enough to cover the top too.
