Camco 11553 Magnesium Anode Rod for Atwood Water Heaters 4.5in x 1/2in NPT

The Camco 11553 magnesium anode rod is specifically designed for Atwood aluminum tank water heaters commonly found in RVs and recreational vehicles. This essential maintenance component protects your water heater tank from corrosion by attracting corrosive elements in the water, significantly extending the life of your water heater.

Key Features:

• Magnesium construction for superior corrosion protection in aluminum tanks
• 4-1/2 inch length x 1/2 inch diameter dimensions
• 1/2 inch NPT threaded fitting for secure installation
• Designed specifically for Atwood water heaters without drain plugs
• Bilingual English/French packaging for easy reference

Regular replacement of your anode rod is critical preventive maintenance that should be performed annually or as needed based on water conditions. This sacrificial component corrodes in place of your water heater tank, preventing costly tank damage and premature failure. Easy to install with standard plumbing tools.
