Seeking cylindrical nickel anodes

Does anybody know where I can get cylindrical nickel anodes that are about 1/4 inch diameter and at least 8 inches length? Thank you.

Check with all of the anode mfgs. Years ago, I bought anodes from McGean Rohco out of Cleveland.

If this is for aux. ID anodes, you might be able to get by with a 400 Ni rod. I do not recommend this for a primary anode.

Hi Warren,

You might also try your local supplier of copper buss bar. That is who we use. They usually will have to special order it and takes a little longer. If that doesn't work try getting some information from Inco Inc.. Their number should be in the Metal Finishing Guidebook & Directory. Be careful of the Nickel 400 as it has copper in it.
