⚙️ Key Features

• Supplied as a kit
• 0.152 kg
• Supersedes 850982, previously catalogued as a zinc anode on its own
• 48 applications across MD, MB, D, MS and AQD series

🔌 Function

Corrodes in place of the metal around it, so that stray galvanic current attacks the sacrificial zinc instead of the housing or drive.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Anode wasted away to well under half its original size
• White crusty deposits and pitting on nearby castings
• Anode still bright and untouched after a season, which points to a poor earth path rather than a good one
• Anode loose on its fixing or dropped off altogether

🛠️ Service Notes

• Renew at around half consumed rather than waiting for it to disappear
• Fit the anode to clean bare metal and never paint it - paint or sealant on the mating face stops it working
• Because this supersedes the single anode 850982, expect the kit to arrive with its fixings included
