Aluminum Pier & Piling Anodes by Farwest Corrosion

Sacrificial Anodes Designed for Larger CP Current Needs. Many Available Shapes & Sizes.

Description

Aluminum anodes have long been used in the fight against corrosion. The Farwest line Pier and Piling anodes are designed for use on offshore structures such as piers, pilings or other structural support steel in need of sacrificial cathodic protection.  The cast-in anode core is either welded, bolted, or clamped to the structure that is to be protected to ensure a reliable, low resistance connection.
  
ALOLINE aluminum anodes are designed for optimum performance under a variety of environmental conditions and temperature ranges. Cast in different sizes and weights, ALOLINE anodes provide maximum performance in seawater and brackish environments.
