Or this one? http://fierychill.com/rheem-ap11345c-anode-rod-0-840-in-diameter-x-44-3-16-in-long-magnesium 2 inch longer and 40 dollars less?

Hackney... Ifound this one for 1/3 the cost and it is a Rheem magnesium 44" from the same company for 20 bucks..... http://fierychill.com/magnesium-anode-rod-44-in-x-0-840-in-diameter-rheem-sp11524c What's the diff except 403 dollars? Thanks!

Hackney.... Thanks man! As usual...you always come through with the info! Hope I can break the 12 yr old anode loose!

I've checked all over the net and can't find a 42" Magnesium Anode for a 12 yr old GE Profile (Rheem) 50 Gallon Gas WH. I am looking for a 42" that will fit GE/Rheem 50 Gallon Gas Tall built in 2000.... Can anyone point me to a website. All I have seen are some "Reliance" brands that...

It's vertical-it's bent left tp right.... The Valve is vertical in that is not tilted up of down. It is bent laterally(not screwed perpindicular/bent) to the tank-thus thats what I mean bent to the left when looking down the tank from top to bottom on the front. side, OK in...

Hackney..... Here is the exact Robertshaw valve..... http://www.drillspot.com/products/79663/Robertshaw_110-202_Water_Heater_Control Wow...that shank penetrates into the tank for the thermostat...How could it been canted so far? I'm very worried about this now. Looks like a leak if it's...

Thanks for all your replies....! Although the control screws into the tank-does it permeate through the tank to the inside lining? The other WH that was crushed on top had the control knob knocked off. This unit looked perfect except for a slight cant on the control valve. The valve was not...

I bought a HD GE 50 gal gas 9yr online and went to get it at HD since HD's GE/Rheem is phasing out the old mechanical(Unitrol type) w/piezo and I want to get one w/o the Honeywell ICON's that are set to arrive next week. I went to pick up my WH today and noticed the "old school" temp valve(...

Yes that would be Rheems 42VR50...Badged as the GE SG50T12AVG... All this FVIR, Tank leaks and TRD talk...I'll pay HD the 99 bucks for the lifetime ( years 2-12) complete labor/parts/replacement warranty. Sounds like I'd spend over 99 bucks in the 2nd year with a FVIR/TRD failure. That 100...

Two tanks leaking in two weeks...Sure it's not the plumber as what are the odds two Rheems leak in two weeks? Hackney mentioned BW is having tank and valve probs(ICON)-so the top two MFGS are selling crap now...wow...Makes the decision process difficult when the top two brands are having...

See message below.....

Point taken....Does that void the warranty? But that will void the warranty. Thanks.... BTW...My plastic valve is plugged when wide open - so it is a big deal going forward.....I am going to use a washer fill hose connected to a hose and blast the sediment back.

Master Plumber Mark.... We posted at the same time..... Big dilemma here...I can get the GE (Rheem 2250VF1?)) 6 yr for 429 or the 9Yr for 549.....Both have plastic Drains-you have to go 12 yr to get the brass. Do you see a big quality diff between the 6/9/12 rebadged Rheems-or are they all...

Thanks HJ! "I have seen MANY "big box" products with defects that would never have passed a good "final inspection" so the implication is that they never had a "final inspection". My current 10-11 year old heater is a GE 9yr (Rheem)-no problems. Twas curious as to your statement about big...

Perhaps this Laing would work in the MBR under the sink? http://www.hvacquick.com/catalog_files/Laing_AutoCirc_ECM_IOM.pdf

Hackney...... Thanks for that info! I was worried about the temp/flow rate as the house is plumbed with 3/4" Flowguard Gold CPVC (11 yr old) which I do not want to stress out with too high a temp. I see Grundfos(my well pump MFG) and Watts make them....What brand have you installed? The most...

Hackney..... Amen....Thanks for that info.... I am looking at the FHR/Recovery difference between two Rheem Fury 50's Gas WH's (or GE @HD) One has a FHR/Recovery of 83/40.4 (42VR50-40F) and 90/38.4 (22V50F1) Ironically the one with the higher FHR is a 38K BTU lower end model.... Our 1...

Hackney.... Xlnt post! Thanks....Interesting info on the TRD! Yeah...this great forum kept me clear of the American(Whirlpool) junk they sell at Lowe's. I can order the Rheem for 125 less than picking it the GE/Rheem up at HD.. I installed the last GE Profile 9yr(rheem from HD) 11 years...

Thanks ! 'Twas getting confused!:confused:

American makes Whirlpool....... Yikes...I thought they were the company to avoid after the Whirlpool debacle. Cjeck this..... http://www.consumeraffairs.com/homeowners/american_water_heater.html I remember when the "Tow Truck Drivers" car of the year award went to the Yugo in 1979. Is...
