Water Connection, Aluminum Zinc Anode Rod for Hot Water Heater, Flexible Aluminum Anode Rod, Get Rid of Rotten Egg Smell in Hot Water, Hex Head ¾ NPT x 44" Segmented, Easy Installation in Small Areas
- MILITARY-GRADE A420 ALUMINUM – Our anode rod is made of high-grade aluminum-zinc alloy meeting U.S. Mil-A-18001K/W standard specification for superior resistance and protection against corrosion.
- PREVENTS UNPLEASANT SMELL IN HOT WATER - Eliminate the sulfur, rotten egg smell in your hot water caused by hydrogen sulfide and the reaction between the water and the magnesium anode rod, thanks to our high-quality aluminum-zinc anode rod.
- THICK 3/4" DIAMETER – Our anode rod for hot water heater has a 3/4" thick diameter, providing more material to sacrifice than the 5/8" diameter used by some competitors' products.
- STANDARD 1-1/16" SOCKET FOUND IN EACH BASIC SOCKET KITS - A 1-1/16" socket and teflon sealing tape are required to remove the old anode from your water heater and install the new one. In the rare case that a 12-point socket starts to strip the anode, we suggest using a 6-point socket to prevent damage to the head and for easier removal and installation.
- LIFETIME WARRANTY – Benefit from a lifetime warranty on our water heater anode rod, ensuring it protects your water heater from corrosion throughout the anode's entire lifespan.
- PROUDLY AMERICAN SINCE 1996 – Trusted and reliable, our company has been providing top-quality water heater products to American households since 1996.
- STANDARD INSTALLATION IN DESIGNATED ANODE SLOT - Most water heaters come with a designated anode slot. Our anode is compatible with every type of water heater and popular brands such as American, A.O. Smith, Bosch, Giant, GWS, GE, John Wood, Kenmore, Reliance, Rheem, Richmond, Rinnai, RUUD, State, Whirlpool, U.S. Craftmaster, and more.
- FLEXIBLE ANODE REQUIRES ONLY 12" OF CLEARANCE - Designed in a segmented, flexible format, this 44-inch anode rod can be easily installed in tight spaces, making it suitable for any water heater setup.
- DOES NOT FIT MOST BRADFORD WHITE AND HOT WATER OUTLET – For any water heater that does not have a designated anode slot on top of the unit (such as most Bradford White tanks), we suggest buying Water Connection’s nipple anode rod to be installed in the hot water outlet.
- EXTEND YOUR WATER HEATER'S LIFE – The anode rod plays a crucial role in protecting your water heater from corrosion. By replacing it when it is 50% depleted, you can prevent hard water damage, extend your water heater's lifespan, and save time and money on repairs.
DOES YOUR WATER STINK LIKE ROTTEN EGGS? If your water smells like sulfur / rotten eggs, it could be caused by sulfur bacteria reacting with your water heater tank's standard magnesium anode rod. This reaction results in hydrogen sulfide gas which, aside from causing that annoying and embarrassing odor, can corrode your home's plumbing pipes and prematurely kill your water heater.
WE HAVE THE SOLUTION TO YOUR SMELLY WATER PROBLEM By replacing your heater's old magnesium anode with one made of an aluminum-zinc (AlZn) alloy, you will put an end to the reaction - and the smell. This replacement hex head anode rod is segmented for easy installation.
NOTE:If a water softener is in use, we recommend using a powered "anode" like the Corro-Protec (ASIN B01H459TAK) or the Ceranode (ASIN B01KIMC91W).
