Description

Keep Your RV Water Heater Running Like New!

Every RV owner knows the frustration of a failing water heater— sudden leaks. The 4.5" x 1/2" NPT Magnesium Anode Rod (2-Pack) ensures your hot water system stays efficient and reliable for years.

Why This Anode Rod Is a Must-Have for RVers:

Superior Corrosion Protection - Magnesium alloy offers better protection than aluminum, actively attracting minerals to prevent tank damage

Easy Maintenance – Regularly replace your anode rod (every 1-2 years) to prevent sediment buildup and extend your heater’s lifespan

Travel-Ready 2-Pack – Always keep a spare in your RV for emergencies, ensuring you're never stranded without hot water

Water Quality Assurance – Maintains clean, odor-free water for showers and cooking

Simple Installation Guide:

Turn off water heater's power and gas supply. Ensure water is cool before proceeding

Drain tank and remove old rod using 22mm or 7/8” socket wrench (turn counter-clockwise)

Wrap new rod's threads with included PTFE tape (clockwise direction) and screw in tightly

Refill tank, check for leaks, and restore power/gas supply

Compatibility Note:

Perfect for: Atwood GC6, GC10, G6A, Dometic and most 1/2" NPT models

⚠ Not compatible with 3/4" threads or 9.25" rods

Pro Installation Tip:

For best results: Wrap threads clockwise with Teflon tape approved for potable water. After installing new rod, refill tank and check for leaks before restoring power/gas. If leaks occur, tighten anode rod further.
