Description
The Bradford White 415-55487-00 is an OEM A420 Hex Head Anode Rod engineered to protect residential and light commercial water heater tanks from internal corrosion. Anode rods work through a process of sacrificial corrosion — the rod corrodes in place of the tank lining, dramatically extending the service life of the water heater.
How It Works
The anode rod is constructed from a reactive metal core that attracts corrosive elements present in water. By sacrificing itself to oxidation, the rod shields the steel tank walls from rust and deterioration. Regular inspection and replacement of the anode rod is one of the most cost-effective water heater maintenance practices available.

Why Replace Your Anode Rod?
Over time, anode rods deplete as they protect the tank. A fully consumed anode rod leaves the tank vulnerable to rapid corrosion, leading to leaks and premature failure. Replacing the anode rod on schedule is a simple, low-cost measure that can add years to the life of your water heater. Always verify compatibility with your specific Bradford White model before installation.
