Suburban Anode Rod Replacement
Catalog Item # 42180
Sacrificial anode rod protects your water heater tank from corrosion by attracting corrosive elements in water, so they attack the anode rod rather than your water heater tank interior.
Simply remove the anode rod from the tank and inspect it every three months. If it is mostly eaten away, replace it with a new one to extend the life of the tank.
Technical Specifications
Less than 1 lb.
Pros
- Simple to use (1)
- This is my 3rd one and it is a perfect fit. I replace this every year! (1)
I replaced the rod I had as it was aluminum and it did not work correctly IMO. I had a
magnesium rod before the aluminum and it dissolved as it was supposed to. Shipping was
before schedule and the product fit perfectly.

Actual Suburban replacement rod, not an imitation. Easy install and worked perfectly. Great
product and I will buy another one next year.

The rod went in very easily. But remember to completely
drain the system or the rod will shoot out. So don't stand
in front of it when removing.

will this fit an american standard model asedv-10sr?
by fox – June 05, 2016
If it is true American Standard used the same design as Suburban, the threads for the water drain port where the anode rod installs will be 3/4" pipe thread. Which in turn makes this anode rod compatible.

How do I know if this anode works for my 5th wheel?
by Mark – September 01, 2015
I have a 94 kit companion 5th wheel and need a new anode but not sure which one is compatible with part # 231624 that goes with my particular water heater
Suburban has changed the part# for their anode rod multiple times. The direct replacement for 231624 is Mfg part# 232768, but this anode rod will work just as well. The difference is that 232768 is an aluminum rod and #42180(mfg part# 232767) is magnesium.

What to use to remove anode rod?
by Anonymous – August 27, 2015
I have a new anode rod and two 1 1/16" socket wrench, neither one will work. Do you have a special tool that will work?
1 1/16 in. 12 point works fine. My 6 point doesn't quite fit.
by Paul – July 31, 2016
by Paul – July 31, 2016
A socket wrench is used to remove the anode rod, a special tool does not exist for removal. Teflon tape is usually wrapped around the threads, combined with older age it will make it difficult to torque the anode rod. RV Water Heater Anode Rods video by RVGeeks.

This anode rod is made from a Magnesium base and is what Suburban puts in the tank at the manufacturing level. The other anode is an Aluminum base and is recommended primarily for areas with more harsh water conditions (Aluminum will break down slower than Magnesium in the tank).
