Tecnoseal 00612-6T Zinc Cylinder Anode for Heat Exchangers Ø69 × 80 mm M16

Tecnoseal 00612-6T Zinc Cylinder Anode for Heat Exchangers Ø69 × 80 mm M16

The Tecnoseal 00612-6T is a zinc cylindrical sacrificial anode designed for corrosion protection in compatible marine heat exchangers. Its cylindrical construction provides a replaceable sacrificial element intended to help protect electrically connected metallic components exposed to water within the heat exchanger system.

The anode measures 69 mm (2.72 in) in diameter and 80 mm (3.15 in) in length. It features an M16 threaded mounting connection and has a manufacturer-listed weight of 2.00 kg (4.41 lbs).

Manufactured from zinc, the Tecnoseal 00612-6T is intended for use in suitable corrosion protection applications where its material, dimensions and thread specification match the requirements of the existing equipment.

Technical Specifications

Cylindrical Design and Mounting Dimensions

The Tecnoseal 00612-6T features a cylindrical zinc body with a nominal outside diameter of 69 mm and an overall length of 80 mm. The M16 thread specification identifies the connection required for installation in a compatible heat exchanger arrangement.

These dimensions should be checked against the original anode and the available installation space before selecting a replacement.

• Outside diameter: 69 mm (2.72 in).
• Length: 80 mm (3.15 in).
• Thread: M16.
• Weight: 2.00 kg (4.41 lbs).

Heat Exchanger Corrosion Protection

Marine heat exchangers can contain metallic components exposed to water and potentially susceptible to galvanic corrosion. A sacrificial zinc anode is intended to provide corrosion protection by corroding preferentially when correctly installed and electrically connected to the metal requiring protection.

The Tecnoseal 00612-6T provides a replaceable zinc element for compatible heat exchanger systems. Its suitability depends on the equipment design, operating water conditions and the manufacturer's specified anode requirements.

Zinc Sacrificial Anode Material

Zinc is commonly used as a sacrificial anode material in saltwater corrosion protection applications. When suitable electrical continuity and electrolyte conditions are present, the zinc is consumed preferentially, helping reduce galvanic corrosion of protected metallic components.

The correct anode material should be selected according to the heat exchanger manufacturer's recommendations and the vessel's operating environment.

Compatibility and Replacement Selection

Before ordering the Tecnoseal 00612-6T, verify the following specifications against the existing anode:

• 69 mm cylinder diameter.
• 80 mm cylinder length.
• M16 mounting thread.
• Compatibility with the heat exchanger's anode mounting arrangement.

The supplied technical information does not identify a specific heat exchanger manufacturer or model. Compatibility should therefore be confirmed using the original component dimensions and mounting requirements.

Inspection and Maintenance

Sacrificial heat exchanger anodes should be inspected periodically as part of routine marine cooling system maintenance. Replace the anode when the zinc material is significantly depleted, damaged or no longer suitable for continued corrosion protection.

Before installation, inspect the mounting connection and follow the heat exchanger manufacturer's maintenance and installation instructions.
