Senlanelec SL003 44-Inch Magnesium Flexible Water Heater Anode Rod – 3/4 NPT, Includes Tools

Overview

Protect your hot water system with the Senlanelec SL003 44-inch Magnesium Flexible Anode Rod. Crafted from high quality magnesium alloy, this four-segment design spans 44 inches and breaks into pieces under 12 inches each, letting you bend and position the rod to fit snugly within your tank. The 3/4 NPT thread is a common standard, enabling compatibility with many popular water heater brands, including GE, Rheem, Reliance, Richmond, and Kenmore. The result is a robust, long lasting component that aligns with the goal of reliable hot water without frequent mid season service calls.

Key benefits

• Magnesium alloy offers strong water-absorption properties to help protect the tank lining and extend heater life.
• Effective anti corrosion action combined with odor control to address hydrogen sulfide byproducts in water.

Installation and compatibility

Designed for ease, the modular four segment rod can be bent at the joints and trimmed with a hacksaw, making it easier to maneuver around internal baffles in larger tanks. The standard 3/4 NPT thread ensures wide compatibility with most 40 to 50 gallon units from major brands.

Maintenance and usage tips
