You have a SUBURBAN water heater
It uses an 3/4" NPT 'anode rod' that screws into the drain hole (Atwood uses the 1/2" Nylon plug)
Tank is Steel GLASS-LINED tank
DO NOT use external heat or go hammering on tank.
Drain anode rod hex head requires a 1 1/16" socket (6 point best)
Along with a 6 1/2" extension
1/2" drive and breaker bar
Try to tighten plug a bit at first then unscrew
(Water supply off....pressure relieved !!)
