Rheem SP11309P Anode Replacement

The Rheem SP11309P anode is a genuine replacement part designed for specific Rheem water-heating equipment. It matches manufacturer part numbers 81VP6, 430126, 229010, 472515, 472522 and 472539. Installing this component restores the factory corrosion protection inside the tank.

Suitable for owners of compatible Rheem models

This anode suits technicians and homeowners servicing Rheem units that call out the listed part numbers. It is not intended for other brands, for models that require a different anode length or thread, or for installations where a powered anode system is specified.

Fits directly into the existing tank port

The anode threads into the standard heater opening without adapters, replacing the depleted rod in a single step. No additional fittings or sealants are required beyond standard plumbing practice, freeuring up the maintenance schedule for the next inspection interval.

Questions about this item

Which Rheem water-heater models accept the SP11309P anode with part numbers 81VP6, 430126, 229010, 472515, 472522 and 472539?

The anode is listed as compatible with manufacturer part numbers 81VP6, 430126, 229010, 472515, 472522 and 472539, so any heater using those codes will accept it.

Will the SP11309P anode fit the same tank opening as the original EGSP6 anode it replaces?

Yes, the SP11309P cross-references EGSP6 part numbers 229010, 472515, 472522 and 472539, indicating identical thread and diameter.

How can I confirm the new SP11309P anode is protecting the tank after installation?

After filling the tank, use a multimeter to measure the potential between the anode and the steel shell; a negative voltage reading shows the anode is actively supplying cathodic protection.
