Water Heater Anode

[Jayco23FB]

Does anyone know what brand water heater I would have in my 2010 Jayco 23FB? I would like to order an anode kit for it, but the trailer is put away and covered.
Thanks

The Atwood unit should have a plastic drain plug approximately 7/8" the Suburban unit is around 1-1/16" and metal with the anode rod attached. Per Atwood at the rally you should never use the anode rod in their units, and use the plastic drain plug. Not a steel one.

Correct......and those are socket sizes.
Atwood is nylon (high temp rated). Drain hole size is 1/2" so don't use any PVC plug---CPVC is OK but right at temp limit.

Suburban uses the anode rod attached to drain plug. Drain hole size is 3/4". Anode rod required to protect steel tank with glass-lining

X2 what enblethen says... I think Most of the Atwood Hot water Heaters uses an aluminum tank instead of steel, and thus does not require an anode rod.

No anode for Atwood water heaters!

I was thinking it was an Atwood, just wasn't positive....thanks

The results of a few searches of Jayco and water and heater have turned up the name Atwood.
