Chain anode FI33-5X880 24667

Cathodic protection for tanks and water heaters – reliable chain anode

The chain anode with a diameter of 33 mm and a length of 880 mm, consisting of 5 links, is a key element of the cathodic protection system in water heaters and domestic hot water tanks. Its task is to protect metal elements from corrosion, extending their service life and ensuring safe use. The chain design increases the active surface area of the anode, which translates to a longer service life and protection efficiency.

Construction and application

The anode is made of high-quality magnesium, which corrodes instead of the protected metal. The insulated links of the anode are connected in a chain, which facilitates installation and ensures uniform distribution of the protective potential in the tank. The G 5/4” thread allows for easy connection to the installation. The product is dedicated to use in electric water heaters and DHW tanks, where corrosion is a serious problem. Thanks to its design, this anode effectively protects against scale formation and corrosion caused by the aggressive water environment.

Advantages and benefits

• Effective protection: Provides long-lasting protection against corrosion of metal elements in water heaters and DHW tanks.
• Easy installation: G 5/4” thread facilitates quick and trouble-free connection to the existing installation.
• Extended service life: The chain design increases the active surface area of the anode, which translates to a longer service life and less frequent replacement.
• Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of water heaters and tanks of various capacities – check the compatibility table (available in the manufacturer's technical data).
• Insulated links: Ensure optimal distribution of the protective potential and minimize the risk of local corrosion foci.
• Compliance with standards: The product meets the required safety and quality standards, guaranteeing reliable operation.
• Replaces traditional anodes: The chain anode can replace standard anodes with smaller dimensions (e.g. Fi21 x 165 or Fi21 x 280), offering a longer service life and better protection.

Information on compatibility with specific water heater models can be found in the manufacturer's technical documentation or consult a cathodic protection specialist.

Remember that the selection of the appropriate anode should be consulted with the technical documentation of the device or a cathodic protection specialist. Regular inspection of the anode condition and its replacement if necessary are crucial to ensure long-term corrosion protection and safe operation of the water installation.
