Description
The Bradford White 415-55482-00 is a genuine OEM magnesium anode rod designed to protect your water heater tank from the inside out. Anode rods are a critical sacrificial component in any water heater — they attract corrosive minerals and electrochemical activity away from the steel tank lining, dramatically extending the service life of the unit.
How It Works
Magnesium anode rods are the preferred choice for areas with soft or moderately hard water. The magnesium material is more electrochemically active than aluminum or zinc alternatives, meaning it sacrifices itself more readily to protect the tank. Over time, the rod depletes and must be replaced — a simple, cost-effective maintenance step that can add years to a water heater’s lifespan.
Key Features
- Genuine Bradford White OEM replacement anode rod
- Magnesium construction for superior corrosion protection
- Sacrificial design shields the water heater tank from electrochemical corrosion
- Ideal for use with soft to moderately hard water supplies
- Direct OEM replacement — engineered to Bradford White specifications
- Helps extend the operational life of compatible Bradford White water heaters
Why Replace Your Anode Rod?
A depleted or missing anode rod leaves the steel tank wall exposed to corrosion, leading to premature tank failure, leaks, and costly replacements. Routine anode rod inspection and replacement is one of the most important — and most overlooked — water heater maintenance tasks. Using a genuine Bradford White part ensures proper fit and performance.
Application
- Compatible with select Bradford White water heater models
