Water Heater Blankets

can they be installed on gas water heaters?
Sure. Looks like they have even less insulation, R5.6 vs R11.5 for
Grainger's Rheem versions. The blanket savings would be greater, with
a faster payback, but it's likely to be a smaller proportion of the total
heat loss, given the large open flue up the middle, unless there's
a gadget that closes the fluepipe when the heater stops running.
