Magnesium anode 38x600 with 5/4" brass plug 40-263901

A magnesium anode with dimensions 38x600 mm and a 5/4" brass plug is a key component used in water heating systems, especially in boilers and heaters. Its main function is to protect the tank against electrochemical corrosion, which can lead to accelerated wear of the device and serious failures.

Made of magnesium, the anode possesses galvanic properties that allow it to sacrifice itself to maintain the integrity of the boiler's metal structure. Magnesium, as an anodic material, is characterized by a high electrical potential relative to steel, which means it is the component that undergoes decomposition, thereby protecting the tank walls.

The anode length of 600 mm allows for its use in most standard models of domestic hot water heaters. The 38 mm diameter has been
