Camco Aluminum Anode Rod- Extends the Life of Water Heaters by Attracting Corrosive Elements, Tank Corrosion Protection (11563), Silver

Fit exactly as needed and replaced a well-used zinc anode about to break. Some teflon (plumbers) tape on the threads and I packed the inside of my 1- 1/16 socket with some paper to allow me to push the head of the rod into the hole and get it to thread on. Otherwise the top of the rod slid too far into the socket to tap the threads. Glad to have this always working to save my RV hot water tank!

Install easily. Working great so far.

Perfect replacement for our Suburban 6 gallon RV water heater. Will order again.

Super easy to install, just used a 22mm wrench. This is the second time Ive purchased, cheap way to protect my rv water heater.

Exactly like the one that came in our Camper!

Because I have had problems with hydrogen sulfide smell in the hot water, I hyperchlorinated my whole system and then, removed my magnesium anode and replaced with this aluminum anode. Magnesium is more reactive than aluminum. My research suggested that I will get less of this bacterial reaction within the heater with aluminum. My wife will be much more apt to smile in the shower with less of the H2S smell. Sure hope that it makes a difference. It is at least worth the try.

This was exactly what I needed for the WH in my Fleetwood Pioneer camper. I was unsure of the size I needed, but this fit perfectly.

Didnt thread in hole very far! Maybe two or three threads in! Should be farther for a pipe thread! Worked but would of rather seen more thread engagement!

good
