Pinnacle Sales 100109624 Aluminum Anode Rod 16 in 0.75 in Npt

Product Description

The PINNACLE SALES 100109624 is an aluminum anode rod designed to protect water heater tanks from corrosion. The rod measures 16 inches in length and 0.75 inches in diameter, with a 3/4-inch NPT threaded connection for installation into the tank's anode port. Made from aluminum, it provides galvanic protection by sacrificing itself to prevent rust and scale buildup on the steel tank interior. This component is a standard consumable in water heater maintenance and is replaced on a routine service schedule by plumbers and HVAC technicians who service water heating equipment.

This anode rod is suited for residential water heater applications where the existing anode rod has depleted or where water quality conditions cause accelerated rod consumption. The 16-inch length and 0.75-inch diameter profile fit a range of standard storage-tank water heaters that use a 3/4-inch NPT anode port. It is a direct drop-in replacement style rod for routine preventive maintenance service calls.

Installation Notes

Anode rod replacement is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified water heater service technician. Before servicing, shut off the cold water supply and the energy source to the water heater, whether gas or electric, and allow the tank to cool. A socket wrench or dedicated anode rod socket is required for removal and installation. Apply thread sealant tape to the NPT threads before installing the new rod and torque to the fitting manufacturer's standard recommendation.
