MME Rectangular Zinc Weld-On Hull and Rudder Anodes – MME5Z / MME6Z / MME16Z
The MME Rectangular Zinc Weld-On Anode is a sacrificial anode designed to protect boat hulls and rudders against galvanic corrosion in saltwater environments. Manufactured from zinc, the anode features a rectangular body with an extended mounting strip for welded installation.
The zinc anodes are specified to meet U.S. Mil A Spec.1800 1J requirements. The range includes three models: MME5Z, MME6Z and MME16Z. Each version has different body dimensions and mounting strip specifications to accommodate different installation requirements.

Construction and Mounting
Each MME anode consists of a rectangular zinc body with an extended mounting strip. The strip extends beyond the anode body and provides the mounting arrangement for welded installation on the vessel.
The mounting strip specifications vary depending on the selected model:
- MME5Z: Mounting strip measuring 440 × 30 × 5 mm.
- MME6Z: Mounting strip length of 330 mm.
- MME16Z: Mounting strip length of 550 mm.
The MME5Z has a specified strip width of 30 mm and thickness of 5 mm. Strip width and thickness are not specified for the MME6Z and MME16Z models.
Dimensions and Model Selection
The range includes three rectangular zinc anodes with different body dimensions and mounting strip lengths. Body dimensions are specified as length × width × height.
- MME5Z (1752): Zinc anode measuring 290 × 90 × 40 mm, with a mounting strip measuring 440 × 30 × 5 mm.
- MME6Z (1753): Zinc anode measuring 200 × 150 × 35 mm, with a mounting strip length of 330 mm.
- MME16Z (1755): Zinc anode measuring 425 × 165 × 38 mm, with a mounting strip length of 550 mm.
The MME5Z has a longer and narrower body than the MME6Z. The MME16Z is the longest and widest model in this range, measuring 425 mm in length and 165 mm in width.
When selecting an anode, compare the body dimensions and mounting strip length with the required installation dimensions.
Application and Corrosion Protection
The MME rectangular zinc anodes are designed for installation on boat hulls and rudders. The zinc body acts as a sacrificial component, corroding preferentially to help protect other metal components of the vessel against galvanic corrosion.
The range is specified for saltwater environments. The extended mounting strip provides the arrangement for welded installation.
