Ball Anode Baskets

All anode baskets are made to order – get the exact size you require without paying a premium for a “special” or having to make compromises. Custom designs no problem. 2-1/2” diameter is standard, other diameters upon request. All baskets are spot welded and TIG Welded with full Argon gas shielding to ensure structural integrity.
