Description
The Bradford White 415-49560-08 is a genuine OEM replacement aluminum anode rod designed to protect water heater storage tanks from internal corrosion and premature failure. Anode rods work through a process called electrolytic action — the sacrificial aluminum core corrodes in place of the tank’s steel lining, dramatically extending the service life of the water heater.
Key Features
- Genuine Bradford White OEM replacement part (Part No. 415-49560-08)
- A420 aluminum construction for effective sacrificial corrosion protection
- 3/4″ NPT threaded connection for straightforward installation and removal
- Aluminum alloy composition — an ideal choice for areas with soft or treated water where magnesium anodes may produce hydrogen sulfide odors
- Sacrificial design actively protects the tank’s glass-lined interior from rust and corrosion
- Direct OEM fit for compatible Bradford White water heater models
Why Replace Your Anode Rod?
Anode rods are a critical maintenance component in any tank-style water heater. Over time, the sacrificial metal is consumed as it protects the tank. A depleted anode rod leaves the tank vulnerable to rust, sediment buildup, and early failure. Routine inspection and replacement of the anode rod — typically every 3 to 5 years depending on water quality — is one of the most cost-effective ways to maximize water heater lifespan.
Application
- Replacement anode rod for compatible Bradford White residential and light commercial water heaters
- Suitable for use in areas with soft, softened, or chemically treated water supplies
- Recommended for installations where odor from magnesium anodes is a concern
