Bradford White 415-47782-08 Magnesium Anode Rod 3/4 NPT x 47 Inch Hex Head

The Bradford White 415-47782-08 is a genuine OEM hex head magnesium anode rod designed to protect water heater tanks from corrosion and extend their service life. This sacrificial rod works by attracting corrosive elements in the water, preventing them from attacking the tank's interior steel surfaces.

Key Features:

• Magnesium construction for superior corrosion protection
• Hex head design for easy installation and removal
• 3/4 inch NPT thread connection
• 47 inches in length (note: length may vary by 1-2 inches)
• 0.840 inch diameter rod with 0.85 inch hex head
• Genuine Bradford White OEM replacement part

This anode rod gradually degrades over time as it performs its protective function, making periodic inspection and replacement essential for maintaining water heater longevity. The magnesium composition provides effective protection in most water conditions, reducing rust and decay inside the tank while helping maintain water quality.
