## Long description

Magnesium anode rod Galmet 38 x 400 mm with 5/4" plug (model 40-263800) is a sacrificial anode designed to protect domestic hot-water tanks, electric water heaters and boilers from corrosion. The rod's magnesium composition provides effective cathodic protection by corroding in place of the tank's steel surface. With a 38 mm diameter and 400 mm length, this anode includes a 5/4" threaded plug for direct installation into tanks that accept this fitting size. The product is intended as a replacement part to help maintain appliance longevity and preserve heat transfer efficiency.
Advantages
The magnesium construction offers high corrosion current output suitable for fresh and soft water conditions, giving reliable sacrificial protection for steel tanks. The integrated 5/4" threaded plug simplifies replacement and ensures a sealed connection when tightened correctly. The rod dimensions (38 mm × 400 mm) make it compatible with systems that require this size, allowing straightforward retrofit into many standard water heaters and boilers. Using a dedicated anode rod reduces tank deterioration rates and contributes to consistent hot-water performance.
Suitable for
 Domestic electric water heaters and boilers with an anode socket accepting a 5/4" plug
 Hot-water storage tanks requiring a 38 mm diameter, 400 mm length magnesium anode
 Replacement anode maintenance to restore sacrificial protection
 Systems in soft or low-mineral (fresh) water conditions where magnesium anodes are recommended
Key specifications
 Material: magnesium sacrificial anode
 Diameter: 38 mm
 Length: 400 mm
 Connection type: 5/4" threaded plug
 Function: cathodic protection to reduce steel tank corrosion
How to use
Drain the tank or follow the manufacturer's instructions to isolate and depressurize the hot-water system before servicing. Remove the old anode rod and inspect the tank interior and existing fittings for damage or excessive corrosion. Install the magnesium anode by threading the 5/4" plug into the tank's anode port and tighten to obtain a leak-free seal, using appropriate sealing material if recommended by the appliance maker. Refill and repressurize the tank, then check for leaks and proper operation.
Usage recommendations
Inspect the anode rod during regular maintenance intervals and replace it when significantly consumed to ensure continuous protection. For water supplies with high mineral content or hard water, consider water treatment options or verify compatibility of magnesium anodes; in such cases, consult the water heater manufacturer's guidance for optimal anode type and replacement frequency.
