Rheem own a company called Hermetic, which makes elements. So easy enough to see if the failed element is a Hermetic brand element. And also cross reference its part code. To see if it is the correct type of element for that cylinder.

The insulation looks like closed cell elastomeric foam. If it is then it won't last long unless you protect it from UV, especially if it's in the sun. You can protect it either by painting or with metal jacketing.
