Water Heater Annode Socket Size?

During our downsizing, I sold my larger sockets. Of course, I now need to change the annode in the water heater, so, does anyone know the socket size so I can purchase a single deep socket for the application?

Thanks,

Correctamundo re. 1 1/16". Got one from Santa last year!!! Right tool for the job. Much better than Channel-Locks.

Purchased a 1-1/16 inch socket. Fits perfectly.

The MOC is the best!

Thank you.

Mine was in so tight I had to use a "breaker" bar to remove it. 1 1/16 here too.

BTW, as previously posted, a great place to get this socket is at a pawn shop. I paid a whopping 25 cents!

Same... I made my own flush tool though - rather than paying CW for one. Quick trip to the hardware store was all I needed. ~$3.50.

I am mechanically challenged and was going to buy one of the flush tools. Could you provide me with a parts list....my wife can assemble it...don't laugh..she can. You can e-mail it to me or post it here. Thanks.

Mike, I will go it it in the AM and post here. Too tired to go outside right now and get it, but it works really well.

OK... I used a 1/2" PVC pipe 12" in length. I put a cap on one end. On the other end I put a 3/4" adapter (PVC), then metal 3/4" threaded pipe 1" long. I then screwed on the female brass garden hose end onto that. I used a 1/8" bit to drill two holes near the cap. I offset these holes by 3/8" (any distance up to an inch I would think would be fine) and 90 degrees. You need a good glue to glue the cap and make sure the diameter of the cap is not much larger than the 1/2" ID pvc pipe. I did catch the lip of the cap when I tried to withdraw the tube out of the tank. You might want to use a dremel, or file, to smooth that edge down. I only used two holes as I wanted as much force as possible. I obviously spin the tool anyway when cleaning.

Hope this is helpful.
