Tecnoseal WKC453 Walter Keel Cooler Zinc Bar Anode 86x22x10 mm
The Tecnoseal WKC453 is a zinc sacrificial bar anode designed for compatible Walter marine keel cooling systems. It helps protect metallic components of the keel cooler against galvanic corrosion by providing a replaceable sacrificial zinc element.
The anode features an elongated rectangular body with rounded ends and shaped recesses along its sides. Its overall dimensions are 86 mm (3.39 in) in length, 22 mm (0.87 in) in width and 10 mm (0.39 in) in height.
The mounting profile includes an additional dimension marked c, measuring 9 mm (0.35 in). This shaped configuration distinguishes the WKC453 from conventional straight rectangular bar anodes and should be considered when selecting a replacement.
Weighing 0.12 kg (0.26 lbs), the Tecnoseal WKC453 provides sacrificial corrosion protection for compatible Walter keel cooler installations.

Walter Keel Cooler Application
The Tecnoseal WKC453 is intended for Walter keel cooling systems requiring a shaped zinc anode measuring 86 × 22 × 10 mm.
Its sacrificial zinc construction helps reduce galvanic corrosion of compatible metallic components exposed to water during normal operation.
Mounting Profile and Dimensions
Unlike a simple rectangular anode, the WKC453 incorporates shaped recesses on opposite sides of its body. The additional dimension c measures 9 mm, as indicated in the manufacturer drawing.
When selecting a replacement, compare the overall dimensions and mounting profile with the existing anode. Matching the length, width and height alone may not be sufficient if the mounting geometry differs.
Inspection and Replacement
The zinc material gradually wears away as the anode provides sacrificial corrosion protection. Periodic inspection helps determine when replacement is required.
Before installing a new WKC453, verify the existing anode dimensions and the corresponding mounting arrangement on the Walter keel cooler.
Supply: One Tecnoseal WKC453 zinc sacrificial bar anode.
