44” Flexible Magnesium Anode Rod for Water Heater with Hex Head, 3/4” Standard Thread Magnesium rod produces a stronger current to protect water tank with triple defense against water odor, inner-wall rust and corrosion. Made from magnesium rather than aluminum, 44 inch anode rod helps you avoid any potential unhealthy side effects from aluminum by-products. No More Rotten Eggs Smell! The flexible anode rod is built in 4 sections, whose the flexibility of the design makes it ideal for installing in the tight locations that many water heaters are located. In addition, the multiple sections allow you to have the option of trimming the sections to fit the height of any home water heater. Anode rod attracts corrosive elements in the water, and then the rod become slowly corroded, so that the water heater will never rust out. Thus, there is necessary for us to replace the water heater anode rod about every two years. How to Replace Your Water Heater Anode Rod? Step1: Close the shutoff valve, turn on the hot water, and then turn off the electricity or gas to the heater to open the drain valve. Caution: The water is hot! Step2: Drain some water from the tank to check for rust. It’s time for a new water heater if you see rusty flakes (not just orange water, corroded pipes or well water). If the water is clean, remove the rod to check its condition. Step3: To loosen the rod, you’ll need an air compressor, a 1/2-in.-drive impact wrench and a 1-1/16-in. Even with a breaker bar, it can be nearly impossible to break the anode rod free. Step4: Close the cold-water valve and drain off several gallons. Loosen the hex head with the impact wrench, but unscrew it the rest of the way by hand. Buy with confidence! All of our products are backed with a 120-day manufacturer’s money back guarantee!
