Description
Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100208654 Anode Rod — 1″ x 24″ Without Hex Bushing
The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100208654 is a genuine OEM replacement anode rod designed to protect water heater tanks from internal corrosion. Measuring 1″ in diameter and 24″ in length, this anode rod is engineered without a hex bushing for direct compatibility with specific Lochinvar and A.O. Smith water heater models that utilize a separate or integrated bushing configuration. Using a properly matched anode rod is essential to extending the service life of your water heater tank and maintaining warranty compliance.
How Anode Rods Work
Anode rods function through a process called sacrificial corrosion — the anode material corrodes preferentially, drawing corrosive elements in the water away from the steel tank lining. Regular inspection and timely replacement of the anode rod is one of the most cost-effective maintenance practices for any water heater system.
