I'm a second owner of this rig and I'm not sure it was well maintained by the previous owner. So, maybe it rotted away? Or maybe this unit doesn't require one? I've searched the forums, Internet and YouTube, but can't find a definitive answer. Any help will be appreciated. And, if I do need one, are they all the same size when you purchase them?

Thanks,
Mark
Pictures? Who makes your water heater, and do you have the model #?

Your assessment of "rotted away" is likely the correct one.

Suburban has a scale of what they are supposed to look like. See attached

Plan on buying a set of two they are inexpensive and I am pretty sure are very much needed in any water heater.
