AP10377D-1 | Anode Rod 43"long Magnesium | Rheem-Ruud

Magnesium Anode Rod for Water Heater Corrosion Protection: AP10377D-1 by Rheem-RuudThe AP10377D-1 anode rod from Rheem-Ruud is a vital component for safeguarding water heaters from corrosion and extending their lifespan. Crafted from magnesium, this 43-inch-long rod provides superior protection against the damaging effects of electrolysis and acidic water.Electrolysis occurs naturally in water heaters when dissimilar metals, such as steel and copper, come into contact. This process releases electrons that can cause the steel tank to corrode. The magnesium anode rod acts as a sacrificial anode, attracting these electrons and corroding instead of the tank. As the anode rod corrodes, it gradually dissolves, releasing magnesium ions into the water. These ions form a protective layer on the interior surface of the tank, further shielding it from corrosion.Key Features: SKU: AP10377D-1 Dimensions: 43 inches long Material: Magnesium Prevents electrolysis and corrosion Extends water heater lifespan Easy to installProtect your water heater investment and ensure optimal performance with the AP10377D-1 magnesium anode rod from Rheem-Ruud.
