Vetus ALU15C - Hull Anode Type 15, Aluminium, excluding Connection Kit

Vetus ALU15C - Hull Anode Type 15 Aluminium Excluding Connection Kit

The Vetus ALU15C Hull Anode Type 15 Aluminium is a high-performance anode designed to provide essential cathodic protection for vessels operating primarily in freshwater environments. Crafted from a durable aluminium-indium-zinc alloy (Mil - A - 24779 SH), this anode is ideal for preventing corrosion of metal parts below the waterline, particularly in inland or freshwaters. Aluminium anodes offer a greater electrical potential difference compared to zinc, which makes them more effective in freshwater environments due to the higher electrical resistance of fresh water. This type of anode is specifically designed for hull protection and is ideal for boats with steel, fibreglass, or wooden hulls. The streamlined, rectangular design ensures an optimal fit, reducing drag while providing excellent protection. The anode is supplied without the connection kit, which must be ordered separately for installation. The Vetus ALU15C is compatible with various hull types and includes protective paint on the mounting side to preserve the boat's finish during installation.
