Recmar zinc anode for Caterpillar engine cooling systems – CM6L2289Z

Recmar zinc anode for Caterpillar engine cooling systems – CM6L2289Z
This cylindrical sacrificial anode provides corrosion protection in engine cooling circuits and heat exchangers of suitable Caterpillar engines. The less noble zinc is consumed in a controlled manner, thereby protecting metallic components of the cooling system against galvanic corrosion. Regular inspection and timely replacement support reliable operation and can prevent costly damage to the heat exchanger.
The anode has a diameter of 16 mm, a length of 76 mm and a 3/8-inch BSW connection thread. It is supplied without a sealing plug and is intended for installation in an existing, suitable anode plug. The product is particularly suitable for maintenance and repair work on Caterpillar marine engines. Zinc anodes are primarily intended for operation in salt water.
