Nomaco PE90005C-3 Magnesium Drive-in Anode

Product Description

The NOMACO PE90005C-3 is a magnesium drive-in anode designed to provide cathodic protection in water heating systems. Magnesium anodes act as sacrificial components, corroding preferentially to protect the tank or vessel's steel lining from electrochemical deterioration. The drive-in design allows for straightforward field installation without threading or special tooling. This type of anode is a standard maintenance and replacement component serviced by licensed plumbers and water heater technicians.

Magnesium drive-in anodes are used in residential and light commercial water heater applications where cathodic protection is required to extend the service life of the storage tank. They are installed in tanks where water chemistry or existing anode depletion has compromised corrosion resistance. Replacement is a routine part of water heater preventive maintenance programs.

Key Features

• Magnesium construction provides active cathodic protection for steel water heater tanks
• Drive-in installation style eliminates the need for threaded connections
• Sacrificial anode design protects the tank lining by corroding in place of the base metal
• Suitable for residential and light commercial water heater service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement sacrificial anode for residential and light commercial water heater tanks requiring drive-in style magnesium anode protection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified water heater technician. Before servicing, shut off the cold water supply and power or gas to the water heater and allow the tank to cool. Follow local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidelines for anode replacement intervals and proper seating of drive-in style anodes.
