Just a thought, Would an annode rod keep a boiler block from rotting out? Say if i took out the plug on the return side im not using , install a bushing, then an annode rod,  what would happen.

    Hmm

    I'm curious too.



    These are installed in water heaters for this reason, why not a steamer?   Although water heaters don't have any air in them so perhaps its a completely different problem.

    An anode will not stop air from attacking the iron. :(

    Single pipe 392sqft system with an EG-40 rated for 325sqft and it's silent and balanced at all times.

    I have several

    large commercial boilers with a 2" x 6" anode connected to a 2 1/2" plug mounted in the mud leg. If it works for them, why not you.



    Good luck,

    Tim
