What's included
  • a .84-inch-diameter (a quarter more anode than what usually comes with a 6-year-warranty water heater) segmented magnesium hex-head anode rod (about 12 inches of overhead clearance needed)

  • pipe-thread seal tape

  • service sticker

  • instructions

Fits all water heaters that come with a hex-head anode.

What does it do?
  • The anode will keep your tank from rusting and breaking.

  • The tape will enable you to remove the anode in future to check it.
  • The sticker will help you remember when you installed it.
Tools needed

Socket wrench and 1 1/16-inch socket. For further details, check out the Tools page and Know-how.

A warning

If you buy one of these, don't play with it. These are regular anodes that have been milled down to the core wire on a lathe. That wire can be bent and straightened about three times, then it snaps.

Ordering Details

The products offered here are designed to make water heaters last longer, or solve specific problems. Installation is potentially do-it-yourself, but if you have the least doubt about your abilities, we suggest that you obtain expert help.

Prices include ground shipping by UPS within the contiguous United States. UPS does not deliver to post boxes. Allow 2-3 weeks for shipping, but we usually ship within 24 hours. Hawaii and Alaska are only served by Second Day Air or Priority Mail. People in those states should e-mail to learn shipping costs. We do not ship outside the United States.

Important: Before you order

Are you ordering the right anode? This anode requires its own port in the water heater and is usually replaces an old one. Make sure you have a hex-head rod in your tank and not a combo (outlet) anode.

Return policy
Merchandise in original condition can usually be returned for a full refund of the purchase price, not including shipping. E-mail mail@waterheaterrescue.com for instructions and authorization.
