Anode fitting
Abstract
Abstract An anode fitting for protecting metallic surfaces such as water heaters, water tanks, and the like which are in contact with an electrolyte, from corrosion, the fitting including a connector member adapted to be secured to the metallic surface in electrical contact therewith and having a fluid passageway therethrough, the connector member including a hollow nipple portion having a depending tubular portion. The tubular porion includes an annular flange porion therein which is positioned so as to form a socket at the distal end of the tubular portion, the socket being adapted to receive an electrode formed of a metal which is higher in the electromotive series than the metal forming the metallic surface. The electrode includes a core wire secured in electrical contact to the annular flange portion and a coating of insulating material lines the fluid passageway, and covers the outside of the tubular porion and substantially fills the space between the electrode and the socket.
