Protect your water heater from costly corrosion with the Eastman Aluminum Anode Rod. Designed for both electric and gas systems, this 1-inch diameter, 45-inch long sacrificial rod safeguards the steel tank, helping extend the life of your hot water storage and keep your home running smoothly.
How it works
An anode rod is the in-tank protector that sacrifices itself to prevent the heater’s interior from rusting. Made from aluminum, this rod dissolves over time, drawing corrosion away from the tank walls and reducing mineral buildup that can hamper performance. By installing this Eastman rod, you create a protective shield that helps maintain water quality and heater efficiency.
Key benefits
- Aluminum composition offers reliable sacrificial protection for electric or gas water heaters
- 1 in. diameter × 45 in. length to fit many standard long-tank units

Who should consider this rod
Homeowners with aging tanks, during new installations, or when replacing an exhausted rod will benefit most. It’s especially useful in homes with varied water chemistry or where you want a straightforward, dependable corrosion-protection solution for either electric or gas water heaters.
Installation and maintenance tips
- Power off (electric) or shut off gas supply, then drain a small amount of water to access the top port
- Remove the old anode rod with a compatible wrench, clean the threads, and install the Eastman rod firmly but without overtightening
- Refill, restore power or gas, and test for proper operation
