Abstract
An anode-fitting assembly for use in hot water tanks, pipelines or the like wherein an interior metallic surface undergoes corrosion when exposed to electrolytic fluids such as air and water. The fitting element of the assembly is comprised of a hollow nipple or connector member adapted to be threadedly received within an opening of the water tank, pipeline or the like. A tubular intermediate member extends from the nipple. An impervious electrically insulating plastic covering is provided on the exposed external surface of the tubular intermediate member. The anode element is comprised of a cylindrical electrode telescoped within the tubular intermediate member of the fitting and secured thereto by joining means that permits the anode element to be assembled to the fitting element at any convenient time after assembly of the fitting and prior to installation of the anode-fitting assembly in the water tank, pipeline or the like. In the preferred embodiment an impervious fluid passageway is provided within the fitting element such that the anode-fitting assembly may be used as an anode holder and fluid outlet.
