The ceramic-coated wire negative anode is only 1/8 inch in diameter and fits easily in grooves cut by a standard concrete saw.It does not lose material or change shape over time, which allows for improved placement and a virtually infinite life.


A typical installation can start with a concrete saw cut on the interior surface in which to embed the anode, as shown here at the junction of the basement wall and floor slab.

 
A wire anode is being installed in a saw cut groove in a concrete slab floor.


The groove is filled by trowel to cover the wire anode.
