Tecnoseal Zinc Crab Trap Sacrificial Anode with Wire Insert

Tecnoseal CTRP Zinc Crab Trap Sacrificial Anode with Wire Insert

The Tecnoseal CTRP is a zinc sacrificial anode designed for corrosion protection of metal crab traps and compatible marine fishing equipment. It features an elongated zinc body with a wire insert extending from both ends, providing an attachment arrangement for installation on suitable trap structures.

The anode assembly measures 310 mm (12.20 in) in overall length, including the wire insert. The zinc body has a length of 116 mm (4.57 in), with additional profile dimensions of 26 mm (a), 22 mm (b) and a height of 23 mm (0.91 in).

Weighing 0.35 kg (0.77 lbs), the Tecnoseal CTRP provides a sacrificial zinc element that helps reduce galvanic corrosion of associated metallic equipment exposed to seawater.

Technical Specifications

Crab Trap Corrosion Protection

The Tecnoseal CTRP is intended for metal crab traps and other compatible fishing equipment requiring a zinc sacrificial anode with an extended wire attachment arrangement.

When correctly installed with electrical continuity to the protected metal components, the zinc acts as a sacrificial material, helping reduce galvanic corrosion during exposure to seawater.

Wire Insert and Mounting Configuration

The anode incorporates a wire insert extending from both ends of the zinc body. This configuration provides an attachment arrangement for securing the anode to compatible crab trap structures.

The overall length is 310 mm, while the central zinc body measures 116 mm in length. Its additional profile dimensions are 26 mm and 22 mm, with a height of 23 mm.

Before installation, verify that the wire arrangement and anode dimensions are suitable for the intended trap structure and allow secure attachment with electrical contact to the protected metal.

Inspection and Replacement

The zinc body gradually loses material as it provides sacrificial corrosion protection. Periodic inspection allows the remaining zinc and condition of the attachment arrangement to be assessed.

Replace the anode when the zinc has become sufficiently consumed or when the assembly is no longer suitable for secure attachment.
