Tecnoseal WKC473 Walter Keel Cooler Zinc Bar Anode 172x32x10 mm
The Tecnoseal WKC473 is a zinc sacrificial bar anode designed for compatible Walter marine keel cooling systems. It provides a replaceable sacrificial zinc element to help protect metallic components of the keel cooler against galvanic corrosion.
The anode features an elongated rectangular body with rounded ends and shaped side recesses near its mounting positions. Its overall dimensions are 172 mm (6.77 in) in length, 32 mm (1.26 in) in width and 10 mm (0.39 in) in height.
The mounting profile incorporates an additional dimension marked c, measuring 15 mm (0.59 in). This shaped configuration is an important feature when matching the anode to the corresponding Walter keel cooler installation.
Weighing 0.34 kg (0.75 lbs), the Tecnoseal WKC473 is intended as a replacement corrosion protection component rather than a complete keel cooler assembly.

Walter Keel Cooler Application
The Tecnoseal WKC473 is intended for Walter keel cooling systems requiring a shaped zinc anode with overall dimensions of 172 × 32 × 10 mm.
The sacrificial zinc material helps reduce galvanic corrosion of compatible metallic components exposed to water. As the zinc is gradually consumed during operation, it provides a replaceable corrosion protection element for the cooling system.
Mounting Profile and Dimensions
The WKC473 has an elongated rectangular profile with rounded ends and two pairs of shaped side recesses. Its additional dimension c measures 15 mm, as identified in the manufacturer drawing.
The technical drawing also identifies a dimension d between the mounting positions, but its numerical value is not specified in the available product data.
Before ordering, compare the overall dimensions, side recess geometry and mounting positions against the existing anode and keel cooler installation.
Inspection and Replacement
The WKC473 is a sacrificial anode, meaning its zinc material is gradually consumed while providing galvanic corrosion protection. Periodic inspection helps determine when replacement is required.
When replacing the anode, verify that the new component matches the original mounting geometry and dimensions. Correct positioning and compatibility are important for installation on the Walter keel cooler.
Supply: One Tecnoseal WKC473 zinc sacrificial bar anode.
