Description
The Rheem-Ruud AP11524W Magnesium anode rod is among the vital parts of water heaters because its function is to prevent the heaters from rusting. This magnesium rod that I have is 53-3/16″ long and the diameter of this rod is 0. 84″. It has been established that the rod possesses exceptionally small sacrificial behaviors. This is because the product comes with a 3/4” NPT connector hence making it easier to fix the product. The working of the anode rod is in the sense that it acts as a scourge to the water and eliminates corrosive materials that may harm the metallic parts of the tank. This helps in increasing the life year of the water heater and thereby extending the period of time before a new water heater has to be purchased. This component is useful in protecting the money invested in HVAC equipment as well as enhancing efficiency due to the assurance that the tank is intact and cannot be tampered with in any way.
