SP11309L
The Rheem water Heater SP11309L Anode Rod is a disposable metal component that provides corrosion protection for the internal tank structure. Its reactive metal construction allows for controlled electrochemical consumption, directing corrosive activity toward the rod in HVAC systems. The anode rod is inserted into the designated threaded opening of the water heater and has an overall length of 19-3/8 inches. When the rod is gradually consumed, its material provides the sacrificial element within the tank, preserving the surrounding metal surfaces from direct interaction in the corrosion process during water heating operation.
