General Electric ws07x22929 Anode Rod

Product Description

The GENERAL ELECTRIC ws07x22929 is a replacement anode rod designed to protect the inner lining of residential water heaters from corrosion. Anode rods work through a process called sacrificial corrosion, where the rod material degrades over time instead of the tank walls. This slows rust formation and extends the service life of the water heater. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this part during routine water heater maintenance or when inspection reveals a depleted rod. Replacing a worn anode rod is one of the most cost-effective ways to extend water heater longevity.

This anode rod is used in residential water heater applications where the original rod has corroded and requires replacement. It is suited for standard tank-style water heaters. Installers typically inspect the anode rod every two to four years as part of a routine maintenance schedule, replacing it when the rod diameter has been significantly reduced or the core wire is exposed. This part is a direct OEM-style replacement for GENERAL ELECTRIC water heater units requiring part number ws07x22929.

Follow all applicable local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidelines when servicing water heater components.
