Rheem SP11524Z Anode Assembly
The Rheem SP11524Z is a replacement anode assembly designed for Rheem and Vanguard water heaters. It measures 58 by .84 inches and is cut to fit during installation. The anode uses HAWA material to protect the tank from corrosion. This new part fits specific models listed by the manufacturer.
Suits owners of listed Rheem and Vanguard heaters
This anode fits heaters with manufacturer model numbers including ES120 series and GHE100 series. It also matches Grainger item numbers 15A515, 15A516, 3CFH3, 3CFH4, 3CFH5, 6E745, 6E746, 6E747, 6FGU4, 6FGU5, 6FGU6 and 6FGU7. It is not for heaters outside these model lists or for other brands.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Rheem SP11524Z anode and what step is often missed?
Shut off water and power, drain the tank, remove the old anode from the top port, cut the new 58 inch rod to match the original length, apply thread sealant, and tighten securely; the step often missed is cutting the rod to the exact tank depth before inserting it.
When will this anode need replacement?
The HAWA material anode sacrifices itself to protect the tank; plan to inspect it annually and replace it once the core wire is exposed or the rod has eroded to less than half its original diameter, typically every three to five years depending on water chemistry.
What limit appears first during sustained use of this anode?
The sacrificial HAWA material depletes over time; the first limit is the rod wearing down until it can no longer protect the tank lining, which shows as accelerated corrosion at the tank's top seam or a rotten-egg smell in hot water.
