Installation Of the ELTECH Disk Anode
is a Simple And Quick Process
- Drill a 1-5/16" hole through the steel bulkhead. If a 1" hole is already
in place, it will be necessary to ream the hole an additional 5/16".
- Apply silicone caulking to the entire back of the FRP shield being
careful not to cover the EPDM seal. This servers to displace water on the
steel surface, thereby minimizing corrosion of the bulkhead behind the
shield. Enough caulking should be applied so that a small bead forms around
the entire shield perimeter after the disk jam nuts are tightened.
- Once the disk is mounted, install and tighten the lock nuts against each
other. It is suggested that the disk be attached at about 50% of its design
torque - approximately 25 ft. lbs. On concave surfaces make sure the spacer
gasket has been fitted before installing disk in a hole.
- Electrical connection to the titanium rod should be made with a zinc
plated spade type wire terminal with a circular opening for a 1/4" rod. Make
sure any exposed copper wire is appropriately protected with heat shrink,
petrolatum tape or other suitable water barrier.
- For submersion service, it is advisable to fill the conduit box with a
silicone or epoxy potting compound.
