Product Description
Magnesium anode bag for effective cathodic protection of underground steel objects
Looking for a smaller size? Check out our 7.7kg Magnesium anode bag here.
- Net weight: 14.5kg / 32lbs
- Gross weight: 30kg / 66lbs
- Material: Magnesium
- Cable: AWG 8, insulated copper wire. Can easily be shortened to desired length
- Type: High potential, M1C (highest quality) 1,7V
- Specifications: Molded to meet American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) Standard B843.
Our 14.5 kg 1.7V magnesium anode bag includes a 5 meter long #8 AWG red XLPE/PVC cable and is ideal for protecting underground steel objects such as propane tanks from corrosion through cathodic protection. If you're looking for a smaller size, check out our 7.7 kg magnesium anode bag.
With proper use and number of anodes, you can give your underground object extensive cathodic protection, meaning you won't have to replace any steel parts due to corrosion for years to come. Magnesium anodes are very effective in high resistivity soil and water due to their high driving voltage. Our anodes are delivered with a bentonite filling and a 5 meter long cable for underground installation. The cable connection is protected with epoxy for extra durability and efficient current dissipation.
Key benefits:
- Effective cathodic protection: protects underground steel objects from corrosion.
- Material: Highest quality magnesium (M1C) with 1.7V drive voltage.
- Ready to install: Includes sacrificial anode, bentonite filling and connecting cable.
- Easy to customize: Cable can be easily shortened to desired length.
- Specifications: Cast according to ASTM Standard B843.
Our fabric bagged magnesium anode is suitable for various tank sizes and soil conditions. If soil resistivity exceeds 10,000 ohm-centimeters or if there is no effective external coating on the tank, contact us for design recommendations. The use of high potential magnesium anodes ensures long lasting and effective protection for your underground steel objects.

FAQ
- Q: How long does an anode bag last?
A: With optimal use, our anode bags can last up to 5 years. However, the lifespan can vary depending on environmental conditions, including the aggressiveness of the soil or water they are placed in. Regular inspections can help assess the condition of the anode bag and its remaining lifespan.
- Q: How do you install an anode bag for a propane tank?
A: Installing an anode bag for a propane tank involves several steps. First and foremost, the area around the tank should be cleared. The anode bag is then placed in a hole dug near the tank. It is then connected to the tank with a special cable, ensuring that the connection is secure and solid. The hole is then filled back in, ensuring that the anode bag remains in contact with the surrounding soil.
- Q: What are anode bags used for?
A: Anode bags are used for cathodic protection. They protect various metal structures such as propane tanks, underground pipes, buried steel assets, docks, piers, and fire hydrants against corrosion. By producing a small electric current, anode bags counteract the corrosive electrical activity that leads to rust and degradation.
- Q: What is an anode bag?
A: An anode bag is a type of sacrificial anode used for cathodic protection. It is a bag filled with a reactive metal, usually magnesium, that is connected to a metal structure to protect it against corrosion. When placed in the soil or water near the structure, it produces a protective electric current that prevents the metal from corroding.
