Product description

Protect your water heater tank from corrosion with the Rheem AP12938 magnesium anode rod. This 42-inch rod is a sacrificial component that attracts corrosive minerals and electrolysis, preventing them from attacking the steel lining of the water heater tank. By corroding instead of the tank, it significantly extends the life of the appliance. The rod features a 3/4-inch hex plug for easy installation and removal during maintenance. Made from high-quality magnesium, it is ideal for use in areas with soft or moderately hard water, providing superior protection and ensuring your hot water system remains leak-free for years to come.
