on mine it a 1 1/16 socket to clean out the installation hole i think easiest way for me was to use a flat peanut butter knife score in saw motion deep as u can into the installation and then use a screw driver long needle nose plyers thin nosed and break it all up then use shop vac with a 10" ryobi port adapter to collect the Styrofoam- to collect the installation till hole clean as you can get it- that worked pretty well- refill hole with garage installation board it about 10.00 a sheet something- i using it to insulate around doors in my old house then using panel over it its not too bad
@@thedustybuilder yes cause not made by manufacturer and sure had make bigger maybe trade mark thing- or xtra added to their rod require different size?
@@jondavid1256 you could be an underachiever and use an extension cord or be a stud and run a new outlet, wouldn’t be too difficult. It doesn’t need its own circuit, so you could bounce off another outlet somewhere close
Great installation video! The heat pump made it a bit trickier, but it turned out to be easier than expected. Thanks for sharing! 🙌
@@corro-protec Hey thanks! It indeed was a simple install!

@@hermiesnow6947 For some reason, the anode rod was readily accessible on my heater. I didn’t have to go so through so much effort!
What was Corro Protect thinking when they made their product require a 1 and 3/16 " socket when the industry standard is 1 and 1/16"?
@@SignorLuigi that’s a great question! The fact that I happened to have it in my tool box was nothing short of a miracle

smith uses 1 1/16 socket
@@hermiesnow6947 yes, but to install the powered anode rod it’s a different size

Missed opportunity to plug the install video for this unit
@@chadridgway9319 Ahh, good point. I did link to it at the end of the video, thanks!!
What if you dont have an outlet in there. Mine is on the other side of the hallway
