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!

Fits our standard small trailer water heater. Installation was easy.

Items listed as New should be in original unopened packing

Definitely protects your water heater from hard water.

I have not yet installed. Will install in a couple months. Hard to rate. The products self destructs like its designed to do. Thats its only purpose- to keep the steel water tank from being eaten away.

I bought a used RV. It was our first. Got it home and was doing some cleaning and general maintenance on it when I found the anode rod out of the hot water heater. Now I have never had to deal with this before so I think that the junk on there needs to come off so I put it in a bucket with vinegar. My buddy who has been RVing for a few years starts to laugh at me. I had cleaned it down to the little copper wire in the middle. He said it should be large looking. So I get on Amazon and look it up and sure enough here it is. Live and learn. Bottom line: It fits our RV hot water heater and was a great price. Check them about once a year and flush out your tank when you change it. It keeps the tank from rusting.

i got this for my attwwod 6 gal dsi rv water heater. fits perfect easy to install would buy again

Exactly like the one that came in our Camper!

No one knows you have to replace these twice a year in a RV or trailer but super important! So easy to change it yourself. Order one before you need it!

I now keep a spare on hand. The first time I checked the water heater anode (never knew about them before) I pulled out a rusty steel rod core. NO anode! Most RV campgrounds do not stock this part (and there are two different sizes) which means you have to try to track down a parts center. Pain! Camco is as good as any other brand out there.
