VETUS Hull Anode Type 15 - Zinc for Saltwater and Brackish Water Protection

Hull Anode Type 15 - Zinc

For sailing on salt water or brackish water, we recommend the use of zinc anodes. Cathodic protection by means of anodes is a must for the protection of all metal parts under water. Therefore, not only for steel boats, but also for wooden, fibreglass, and aluminium hulls, anodes are required. The material of VETUS zinc anodes is of the highest possible standard, the U.S. mil.-A-18001 K. specifications. Anodes that do not meet these specifications have little or no effect at all.

All VETUS anodes are streamlined and mounted either with specially made studs, which can be welded to a steel hull, or special through-hull bolts for fibreglass and wooden boats.

Specifications:

• Material: Zinc
• Type anode: Hull
• Type of contour: Rectangular
• Weight (kg): 1.1
• Length (mm): 150
• Height (mm): 25

The VETUS Hull Anode Type 15 is a high-quality zinc anode designed for effective cathodic protection of all underwater metal components on boats operating in saltwater or brackish water conditions. Proper anode selection is essential for maintaining the integrity of your vessel's hull, whether it is made of steel, fiberglass, wood, or aluminum. Constructed from premium zinc material that meets the stringent U.S. mil.-A-18001 K. specifications, this anode ensures optimal protection and longevity. Using anodes that meet these standards is crucial, as inferior products often provide little to no corrosion resistance, risking costly damage to your boat's underwater structures. The streamlined design of the VETUS anode facilitates easy mounting, either with specially made studs that can be welded onto steel hulls or with through-hull bolts suitable for fiberglass and wooden boats, ensuring secure attachment and reliable performance. This rectangular anode weighs approximately 2.2 pounds and measures about 6 inches in length and 1 inch in height, making it suitable for a variety of vessel sizes and configurations. Proper cathodic protection through high-quality zinc anodes like the VETUS Hull Anode Type 15 is vital for maintaining the structural integrity and longevity of your boat, especially in harsh marine environments where corrosion can quickly compromise metal components. Regular inspection and replacement of anodes are recommended to ensure continuous protection and optimal vessel performance. Designed with durability and efficiency in mind, this anode is an essential component for any boat owner serious about safeguarding their investment and ensuring safe, trouble-free sailing in challenging water conditions.
