  Overview and closeup of standard combination magnesium anode rod  
 
What's included
  • a .75-inch-diameter magnesium combination (also known as outlet) anode rod (about 48 inches of overhead clearance needed)
  • pipe-thread seal tape
  • service sticker
  • instructions

This kind of anode screws into the hot-water port and can either replace another combo rod or augment a hex-head anode. Rheem/Ruud/Richmond/GE changed its design in about 2005 so that the hot-water port extends below the threads. To use a standard combo anode, one must drill out the port and even then, there is a risk that there will not be enough space between the hot-water outlet and the port wall to permit water to pass. The anode included here solves that problem.

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
Pipe wrench. For further details, check out the Tools page and Know-how.
