I would like to know where I can find conductive anti-seize compound. Then I can use it to re-secure an anode rod on a water-heater. None of the home center or plumbing supply stores in my area carry anti-seize compound conductive or non-conductive. The only place that I can find anti-seize compound is in an auto-supply store but it doesn't seem to be conductive (they use anti-seize compound on spark plugs; therefore conductive anti-seize compound probably is not a good idea). Seem like I should mail order it from internet.
I find in internet something called a "Copper Based Anti-Seize Compound". But it doesn't say whether it is conductive, nor how much % of copper it has. I am under the impression from reading in this newsgroup that I should get anti-seize compound that has 80% copper. Without knowing the % of copper in it. I hesitate to order it.
I also find in internet something called "Arrow 09 Copper Anti-Seize Grease" from Arrow Engineering. It is fully conductive according to the product specification. It says it is lead-free and is great for petrochemical industrial for oil piping. But it doesn't say if it is safe to use with residential drinking water supply.
Please help me to find a source of a conductive anti-seize compound for securing anode rod in a water heater.
Thanks in advance for any info.
