The powered anode consists, left, of a transformer, copper inverter plug, hex plug and weighted, insulated electric lead (lower part) that is suspended inside the water heater. A tee and nipples, right, are included for use with tanks that have a combo anode in the hot port. The tee screws into the hot port with a nipple, the plumbing attaches to the side port and the powered anode screws into the top port with the weight and element hanging straight down.
 
What's included
  • a powered anode
  • pipe-thread seal tape
  • instructions
  • a brass tee
  • two brass nipples

This replaces the combo anode that came with your tank. Fits all heaters with 3/4-inch ports. This is for use with some Bradford Whites, A.O. Smiths and States up to 50 gallons.

What does it do?
  • The anode will keep your tank from rusting and breaking, while alleviating odor problems because of anaerobic bacteria found in some water that react with regular magnesium or aluminum anodes to produce hydrogen sulfide gas and a rotten-egg odor.
Tools needed
Socket wrench with 1 1/16-inch socket, pipe wrench. For further details, check out the Tools page and Know-how.
 
Important: Before you order

This anode must replace the one that came with the tank or the smell won't go away. If your tank has two anodes, the second one must also be removed.

If you have a power vent heater, the power connector will stick up several inches above the top of the tank and will probably preventreinstallation of the vent housing.
