## Summary description

Replacement magnesium anode rod by Galmet, dimensions 38×400 mm with a 2" plug. Designed to protect storage water heaters and boiler tanks from corrosion by sacrificing the anode to reduce rust and prolong tank life. Fits systems that accept a 38 mm diameter rod and 2" threaded plug; used in domestic and commercial hot-water appliances.

## Long description

Replacement magnesium anode rod by Galmet, 38×400 mm with a 2" threaded plug, designed to provide galvanic corrosion protection for storage water heaters and boiler tanks. The sacrificial magnesium element reduces corrosion of steel tank walls by preferentially corroding itself, helping to extend the operational life of hot-water appliances when fitted into compatible tanks that accept a 38 mm diameter rod and a 2" plug connection.
Advantages
The magnesium construction offers effective sacrificial protection in a wide range of domestic and commercial hot-water systems. The 38 mm diameter and 400 mm length provide a substantial active surface area for corrosion protection, while the 2" threaded plug enables straightforward replacement in tanks with the corresponding fitting. The rod is suitable for reducing internal rusting and scale-related deterioration without altering the tank structure when correctly installed.
Suitable for
 Replacement in storage water heaters that accept a 38 mm diameter anode rod
 Boiler tanks with a 2" threaded anode connection
 Domestic and light-commercial hot-water systems requiring sacrificial anode protection
Key specifications
 Material: magnesium anode element
 Rod diameter: 38 mm
 Rod length (active): 400 mm
 Connection type: 2" threaded plug
 Function: galvanic (sacrificial) corrosion protection for steel tanks
How to use
Shut off water and power supply to the heater before attempting replacement. Drain the tank to a safe level if required by the installation, then remove the existing anode rod from the 2" port. Inspect the tank opening and thread for corrosion or debris and clean if necessary. Install the new 38×400 mm magnesium anode rod with the 2" plug, ensuring a secure, leak-free fit using appropriate sealing tape or joint compound rated for potable water systems. Refill the tank, restore power, and check for leaks and normal operation.
Usage recommendations
Inspect the anode rod periodically (typically every 12–36 months depending on water quality and usage) and replace when the magnesium core is substantially consumed or covered in heavy corrosion. Use this magnesium anode rod in systems compatible with magnesium sacrificial anodes and 2" plug fittings; consider water chemistry and consult appliance documentation to decide on replacement intervals and compatibility with other anode types.
