Linear Anode Installation

Caution

When installing a Model AT linear anode in earth, it must be embedded in petroleum coke or fine sand. If this is not done, the anode will not function properly and may fail prematurely. Use of petroleum coke is preferred as it will result in greater anode efficiency.

Preparation

Cut a groove about an inch deep. Line with cloth (optional). Fill groove about half full with petroleum coke (preferred) or fine dry sand.

Emplacement

Place anode on coke or sand and press in place. Cover with additional coke or sand so that anode is completely encapsulated. Fold over cloth if used. Finish backfilling with earth.
