Osculati 43.228.29 – Caterpillar 3208 Heat Exchanger Sleeve Pencil Anode Ø14×26+7 mm Thread Ø12 mm
The Osculati 43.228.29 is a zinc pencil anode specifically developed for installation in the heat exchanger sleeve of Caterpillar 3208 marine engines. Featuring a 14 mm diameter body, 26 mm active length, and a 7 mm additional insertion section, it is fitted using a smooth Ø12 mm press-fit stem rather than threaded installation. This design allows secure mounting into the heat exchanger’s anode housing and protects internal cooling components from galvanic damage caused by saltwater exposure.
Key Features:
- High-purity zinc – provides effective cathodic protection in seawater
- OEM-compatible design – suitable for Caterpillar 3208 series engines
- Sleeve-mount type – smooth Ø12 mm stem for press-fit insertion
- Prevents galvanic corrosion inside heat exchanger cooling passages
- Easy replacement during routine engine maintenance
