Made from premium magnesium, this rod is softer and more absorbent than steel, making it an essential maintenance item for RV owners. ## Description One of the most common killers of RV water heaters is interior corrosion. The water inside your heater contains many destructive properties including heat and harsh minerals that can build up and eat away at the steel sidings in your tank, shortening the life of your heater and leaving you out in the cold with a sopping mess and broken water heater. Fortunately, interior corrosion is very preventable. Quick Products Anode Rods insert into your water heater to help draw those corrosive elements away from the tank and onto the rod itself. Constructed of magnesium, a metal softer and more absorbent than steel, the anode rod sacrifices itself to protect your tank. Anode rods are easily replaceable and should be checked each time the water heater tank is drained. Always have a spare anode rod ready to go while checking the current rod. Rods should be replaced yearly or when the corrosion has eaten approximately 75% of the rod’s mass. Check your water heater’s recommendations for anode rods to ensure a proper fit. ## Features - Protects your RV water heater from corrosion, prolonging its life - Magnesium construction is softer and more absorbent than steel - Inspect regularly, rods should be replaced yearly or when the corrosion has eaten approximately 75% of the rod’s mass - Rod size: 4.5” length x 1/2” NPT x 0.7" (18 mm) diameter - Use with the following RV Water Heater models: Atwood - Improved design as of December 1, 2018! ## Images ![Quick Products QP-MAR4.5 Magnesium Anode Rod for Atwood Water Heaters – 4.5”, 1/2" NPT (Replaces 11553) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71v-lJJYckL.jpg) ![Quick Products QP-MAR4.5 Magnesium Anode Rod for Atwood Water Heaters – 4.5”, 1/2" NPT (Replaces 11553) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7153TJGBW8L.jpg) ![Quick Products QP-MAR4.5 Magnesium Anode Rod for Atwood Water Heaters – 4.5”, 1/2" NPT (Replaces 11553) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Ww2qaRGsL.jpg) ![Quick Products QP-MAR4.5 Magnesium Anode Rod for Atwood Water Heaters – 4.5”, 1/2" NPT (Replaces 11553) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81UgA9TDVXL.jpg) ![Quick Products QP-MAR4.5 Magnesium Anode Rod for Atwood Water Heaters – 4.5”, 1/2" NPT (Replaces 11553) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81P+fAKkeyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Three Stars *by B***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 22, 2018* had to turn down diameter of rod in lathe to fit in threaded hole ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Will buy genuine next time. *by P***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 22, 2019* Diameter of the anode was too large to fit into the water heater, had to get them machined.
