Hi, just wondering if it comes with an anode to protect from corrosion? If not, can one be purchased and or added?

To the best of my knowledge it does not. It is small enough that you shouldn't need it. My original unit was 20yrs old and it had no corrosion.

Hi Revella,The main factor in how long the anode rod will last is the quality of the water that is going into your water heater. If you are in an RV, the water quality will vary from location to location. You may want to try and filter the water before it goes into your heater though I couldn't tell you the best filter because that will depend on the water source and what needs to be filtered out. The good news is that the anode rod is doing its job and protecting your water heater. It is designed to sacrifice itself in this manner so that your water heater tank does not corrode.

If original anode was aluminum 3 years , magnesium 5 years. A lot has to do with water quality and mineral content. Cost is so small that you can justify replacing the anodes more frequently to maximize protection from corrosion. My experience aluminum 90 percent gone in 4 years magnesium 15 percent.

No, and there is no provision to install one. The tank you see is not the tank you will get. Be careful. Do not purchase.

Quality is great. No rust. Aluminum becomes slightly dull with use due to oxidation (you want this to keep it passive). I use a Propane Burner... I am not aware of an electronic burner that works with an Aluminum Kettle, especially of this size (100qts is over 25 gallons)

Hi, all I can say is that this fits my Casita TT. You should be able to look this up. I find the Anode are much cheaper on amazon and ebay. I thought they were kind of standard size but saying that I don't really know. Depending what type of TT you have try getting on a trailer forum and they can answer many questions. I learned a lot by going on Youtube. Really learned a lot there. Sorry I couldn't give you the answer you wanted.

No this is a replacement for the water heater Anode Rod. Our new travel trailer suggests replacing them every year.

it came with one.... make sure you purchase a really nice faucet... I bought a cheap one...this is a really nice sink.

I really don't believe that it is anodized (I have over thirty years experience with metal processes). It does appear to have some type of coating but it has not worn in over a year and we have used it extensively.

The element us not exposed. It is good kettle. We have had it over a year with no problems. Good luck.

Mine stays outside and is holding up well. But only have had it for 6 mo. No corrosion or rust. I believe it comes with a 10 year guarantee against that.

From what I read you 21vp...is a gas water heater. I bought the anode rod for an electric water heater tank. However keep in mind what you are ultimately after with any tank is the same thread diameter for the hole the rod will thread into. The length is less critical since the rod can be cut off with a hacksaw if it is too long. There is nothing very special about any anode rod since they are all just a skinny steel rod with magnesium or aluminum around that.

I can't give you a definitive answer, but I think that the copper is covered by the stainless steel. I LOVE it and it has worked perfectly. My plumber who installed it said he installed one that was very similar, but 100% more expensive. He did not find anything that was harmful or he wouldn't have installed it if it weren't up to code. Hope this helps.

It comes with one , I mounted my stock catalytic converter to the flange , so far no leaks , but it does stick out a little bit

No... but they sell one for it. Another thought. You may not need one. Quiet drain is very low. I put it on my KTM and it has great CCA. I like it...bottom line.

From seeing the product and installing a few, the anode rod it is not a actually an "electronic" process, but rather a reaction between the base metals of the metals in the rod itself and the composition of the water.Then again, i just know it extends the life of the water heater and worth the money.The other point is while it does not improve the looks of the water heater, mark the dates of replacement on the outside of the tank in sharpie, It indicates you are a knowledgeable homeowner and improves the impression of someone who cares about their property.I am not an expert, and i would welcome that opinion.KS From seeing the product and installing a few, the anode rod it is not a actually an "electronic" process, but rather a reaction between the base metals of the metals in the rod itself and the composition of the water.Then again, i just know it extends the life of the water heater and worth the money.The other point is while it does not improve the looks of the water heater, mark the dates of replacement on the outside of the tank in sharpie, It indicates you are a knowledgeable homeowner and improves the impression of someone who cares about their... » Read More From seeing the product and installing a few, the anode rod it is not a actually an "electronic" process, but rather a reaction between the base metals of the metals in the rod itself and the composition of the water.Then again, i just know it extends the life of the water heater and worth the money.The other point is while it does not improve the looks of the water heater, mark the dates of replacement on the outside of the tank in sharpie, It indicates you are a knowledgeable homeowner and improves the impression of someone who cares about their property.I am not an expert, and i would welcome that opinion.KS « Show Less

No, The mounting bracket and bolt are not corrosion proof and are rusting. I plan to replace them with something out of stainless steel or Aluminum. Its a pretty simple u shaped bracket and easy to fabricate. I've had the light on since May and its in the weather constantly. Still works great and is good quality. No Corrosion yet on the actual light.
