Anode Inserts - Hose Couplings and Petroleum Products
Anode inserts are sacrificial metallic components fitted in or near marine hose couplings and petroleum-transfer hose assemblies. They help provide electrical continuity, dissipate static charge, and reduce the risk of electrostatic sparking during fuel or hydrocarbon transfer.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Anode Inserts for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Hose assemblies and electrical continuity should be verified against applicable requirements such as EN ISO 8031 and EN 1765 or ISO 1823, as specified by the hose and coupling manufacturer. Product, fire-safety, and static-control requirements may also be governed by vessel and terminal procedures. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Approval normally applies to the complete hose assembly or transfer system rather than the anode insert alone. Where required, verify acceptance with DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, or the vessel's nominated classification society. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Install only in the manufacturer-designated coupling location. Ensure clean metallic contact, correct orientation, secure fastening, and electrical continuity across the complete hose assembly. Confirm chemical and galvanic compatibility before service. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect during hose and coupling maintenance for corrosion, loosening, wear, or loss of continuity. Replace when significantly consumed or damaged, and verify bonding resistance using an approved low-resistance tester. |
| Safety Notes | Use only components rated for the petroleum product and operating conditions. Bond and earth the transfer system before flow starts. Do not rely on the insert alone for static control, and prohibit ignition sources during fuel transfer. |
