In the rare case that a 12-point socket starts to strip the anode, we suggest using a 6-point socket to prevent damage to the head and for easier removal and installation. - LIFETIME WARRANTY – Benefit from a lifetime warranty on our water heater anode rod, ensuring it protects your water heater from corrosion throughout the anode's entire lifespan. - PROUDLY AMERICAN SINCE 1996 – Trusted and reliable, our company has been providing top-quality water heater products to American households since 1996. - FLEXIBLE ANODE REQUIRES ONLY 12" OF CLEARANCE - Designed in a segmented, flexible format, this 44-inch anode rod can be easily installed in tight spaces, making it suitable for any water heater setup. - STANDARD INSTALLATION IN DESIGNATED ANODE SLOT - Most water heaters come with a designated anode slot. Our anode is compatible with every type of water heater and popular brands such as American, A.O. Smith, Bosch, Giant, GWS, GE, John Wood, Kenmore, Reliance, Rheem, Richmond, Rinnai, RUUD, State, Whirlpool, U.S. Craftmaster, and more. - DOES NOT FIT MOST BRADFORD WHITE AND HOT WATER OUTLET – For any water heater that does not have a designated anode slot on top of the unit (such as most Bradford White tanks), we suggest buying Water Connection’s nipple anode rod to be installed in the hot water outlet. - DIY INSTALLATION - Sacrificial anode rods are intended to be replaced, making the installation process accessible to anyone who possesses a water heater. - EXTEND YOUR WATER HEATER'S LIFE – The anode rod plays a crucial role in protecting your water heater from corrosion. By replacing it when it is 50% depleted, you can prevent hard water damage, extend your water heater's lifespan, and save time and money on repairs. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Manufacturer | The Water Connection | | Part Number | AR103 | | Item Weight | 1.23 pounds | | Package Dimensions | 9.76 x 3.9 x 2.05 inches | | Item model number | AR103 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Style | Hex Head - 44" | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | ## Images ![Residential - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71QLSSfyKWL.jpg) ![Residential - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hgRqSVXoL.jpg) ![Residential - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tDYAhY8VL.jpg) ![Residential - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Vmzd+JArL.jpg) ![Residential - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71YKvQyg3vL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does ar103 hex head replace 224-47782-08 in my bradford 75 gallon urg275h6n? and what socket head size is a 1-1/16"?** A: Yes this will work on the 75 gallon and yes standard socket size is 1 1/16th 6 point socket do not use a 12 point socket you can strip hex.
