Suburban Mfg 233514 Magnesium Anode Rod for RV Water Heaters

The Suburban Manufacturing 233514 is a magnesium sacrificial anode rod designed to provide cathodic protection for RV water heater tanks. This critical maintenance component attracts corrosive elements in the water, protecting the steel tank from rust and deterioration.

Key Features:

• Magnesium construction optimized for high pH water conditions
• Provides cathodic protection by equalizing aggressive water action
• Extends water heater tank life when regularly inspected and replaced
• Direct replacement for Suburban water heater anode rods
• Standard 3/4-inch NPT thread for easy installation

Regular inspection and timely replacement of the anode rod is essential preventive maintenance that can significantly extend the service life of your RV water heater tank. Magnesium anode rods are recommended for water with higher pH levels, while aluminum rods are better suited for softer water conditions. Most manufacturers recommend checking the anode rod annually and replacing it when more than 75% of the core wire is exposed or the rod diameter is reduced by more than 50%.
