Bradford White 415-47782-12 Magnesium Anode Rod 3/4" NPT

The Bradford White 415-47782-12 Magnesium Anode Rod is a component used within a water-heating vessel to protect the tank from internal corrosion. Its 3/4" NPT specification identifies the threaded connection used to interface the rod with the equipment. The magnesium element is designed to participate in the electrochemical process occurring within the tank, allowing the anode to be consumed preferentially while the surrounding steel vessel remains part of the protected system. In heating equipment, it operates as a tank-protection component rather than a water-flow or temperature-control system.
