Water Heater Anoid Rod Isolation
Installed a new heater rod into a Suburban Model SW10DE. Had to use an impact wrench to get drain plug and heater rod out. This is on a 2005 Artic Fox 30U, that may have sat unused for 4 or 5 years....

When you screw the rod on, the scraping through the Teflon tape provides enough of an electrical contact to get it working. At least that is what I've been told, so take that advice with a grain of salt.
I would have to agree with this.
As a pipe fitter I thread pipe very often. It does not matter how much teflon tape or pipe dope I put on the threads... when removed the leading edge of most threads are bare steel again.
