Water header 3/4" anode with drain valve (Suburban) ?
I'll try to make things clear... yesterday I removed my drain plug on my Suburban 6 gallons water heater (2011 model w/ pilot, no DSI) and O.M.G.... so much crap, rust and more have poured out of the tank!! I don't use my camper that much during the season, in fact only during weekends, so between each trips the water remain stagnant inside the tank many days... So I'll take time to drain my water heater between each use now.
I want to replace the drain plug which is a 1 inch head with 3/4 inch thread for a tool-less drain valve... moreover my factory anode is completely worn (about 1/8 inch thin now!) so I need to replace it too. I want to keep the anode because it extend water heater life I think, except if people have different experiences...
Camco offer an anode combined with a tool-less drain plug, but only 1/2" size thread (for Atwood heaters).
Do you know if another company offer the same kind of device but with a 3/4" size for the Suburban's??
Or maybe I can fit a brass reducer maybe from 3/4 to 1/2 ??
Anyone have a DIY experience to share?
Thank you very much!
