GCW1KS Installation Instructions

Please identify:

GCW1KSL, the left hand heating blanket, it has only buckles on its outside (six on one edge and nine on the cord edge of the heating blanket).

GCW1KSR, the right hand heating blanket, it has only webbing straps on its outside (six are about 18" long and nine are about 60" long and are on the cord edge of the heating blanket).

GCW2x5PADS, quantity two insulated pads approximately 2 ft. x 5 ft. each.

The heating blankets have a "warm" and a "cold" face/side. The easiest way to identify which side of the blankets face the tank when it is all wrapped up is to find the side with NO STRAPS on it. The strapping system for these blankets is all positioned on the cold, outward pointing faces of the blankets when wrapped on the tank. When done, the cord edges of both blankets will be up near the top of the tank with both cords coming off the same end of the tank.

Step 1. Pick which end of the gas cylinder from which you would like the electrical cords to exit.

Position the left and right blankets, cold side down on the ground on either side of the tank, with their six strap edges abutting under the tank. Attach the six webbing straps to the six buckles along these edges. The blankets should be strapped so that the edges are close to each but do not overlap. This small opening along the bottom will allow moisture to drain out the bottom. Note, the cord edges of the blankets are away from each other and both cords point in the same direction.

Step 2. Bring the cord edges toward each other as you lift the blankets and wrap them gently around the sides of the tank. The nine long straps are designed to go up over the top of the tank and down to the nine buckles on the left heating blanket. Get all of the straps attached to the buckles but not yet tightened. There should be about two feet of the top of the tank that is not yet covered. The pads will be used to cover and insulate that area.

Step 3. Because there are numerous versions of 1000 gallon tanks with varying positions for the top mounted features, we supply two insulating pads for you to position lengthwise between the long straps and the top of the tank. The pads can overlap each other and/or the heating blankets. They can deform as needed to cover hooks, pipes, etc. without being damaged. They should be positioned to cover as much of the tank as is possible so long as they are held on with the long straps of the heating blankets.

Step 4. Progressively snug the long straps taking care to keep the six strap edges of the blankets at the bottom of the tank. That lower edge is needed to allow water to drain out of the system.
