Custom Anodes can be produced to satisfy unique specifications.
. Applications - Due to the fact that zinc anodes have a lower driving voltage than that of magnesium, zinc anodes are typically used in low soil resistivity applications. Typical applications include buried pipelines, tanks and a number of other similar uses.

. Available Sizes- Zinc soil anodes are offered in a variety of sizes shown on the chart below.

. Anode Cores- Zinc soil anodes are normally cast with a " galvanized mild steel core to which the anode cable is connected.

. Installation Methods- Zinc soil anodes can be vertically or horizontally installed in native soils and should be wetted before burial. The anode cable can either be connected directly to the structure or through a cathodic protection test station. Typical cable-to-structure connection methods include welding and mechanical attachment.
