Description
Hale Magnesium Anode 1-14 NPT
A Hale Magnesium Anode 1-14 NPT is a sacrificial anode made of magnesium alloy, designed to protect fire pumps and booster tanks and other metal-containing systems, from corrosion. Sacrificial anodes are made from more reactive metals, which corrode preferentially, sacrificing themselves to protect the structure they are attached to.
The “1-14 NPT” refers to the thread specification of the anode. NPT stands for National Pipe Thread, a standard used for tapered threads on pipes and fittings in the United States. The number “1” indicates the nominal size of the pipe or fitting in inches, and the number “14” refers to the number of threads per inch. In this case, the anode has a 1-inch nominal diameter with 14 threads per inch.
By connecting a Hale Magnesium Anode 1-14 NPT to the structure that needs protection, the anode corrodes instead of the structure itself, thereby prolonging the lifespan of the system. Magnesium anodes are commonly used in freshwater environments and are known for their high corrosion protection potential.
