RV Water Heater Anode Rod

works as should

This fit my RV water heater perfectly as expected. They are a little hard to get the threads started with the weight of anode rod tipping the assembly downward. However, this is normal for these devices. Phot is accurate.

So part of the description is Extends the life of your water heater by corroding itself so your water heater tank doesnt and after one season this thing is definitely corroding. The old anode had been in there for at least +15 years and looked about like you would expect it to. This one has corroded mostly near the thread end enough to make me worry it will break off and drop into the tank if I tried to make it another season. But can I really complain about replacing a part that only costs $13 each season? It fit perfectly for my Fleetwood Niagra pop up.

Removed the old one, installed the new one. Fairly uneventful but seems to work flawlessly.

I have a 2016 rpod 171 and it was a good fit would recommend

Good

Easy to install

It works like new.

replaced mine in my Rv, still working

I never would have known the importance of this anode rod had the hot water heater not showed signs of needing some maintenance. Im in my 60s and learning something new every day, it seems! Youtube helped with the DIY videos.
