Prolong your Water Heater's Life:
Anodes are used to prolong the life of water heaters by preventing corrosion. They are composed of metals that will corrode before the metals that compose the water heater do. It's cheaper to replace a corroded anode rod than a corroded water heater!
Advantages of Magnesium:
Magnesium is the best material for anodes, because of its high-performance properties that provides a stronger protective current than other materials.
Protect Up to Five Years Each:
Our magnesium anodes are thick and can last five years or more in a typical water heater, but you should flush the water heater and inspect it annually. Once the steel core begins showing through the corroded metal, it is time to change anodes. Consider buying additional anodes at a discount, and ensure decades-long protection for your water heater!
Fits Most Models:
This 44" straight rod comes with a NPT
¾
threaded head with an 1 1/16" hex head diameter, which will fit most residential water heater models, including; Rheem, Reliance, Richmond, Kenmore, State, GE and many more that also use the standard ¾" NPT Anode Rod Connection. You can cut down any excess length easily with a hacksaw.
