Simplify your plumbing and home improvement projects with the Eastman aluminum/zinc anode rod. Flexible anode rods fit almost all water heaters and help prolong the life of your water heater tank by attracting corrosion to itself. This zinc anode rod measures 42 inches and is equipped with a 3/4 inch x 3 inch NPT nipple connection. This easy-to-install zinc rod is made with a flexible carbon steel cable and 4 sections of zinc or aluminum rod with a diameter of 5/8 inches. The rod corrodes through electrolysis, a process that protects the steel walls of the water heater by attracting corrosion to a more noble metal that helps prevent the "rotten egg smell" of sulfur.
