ABSTRACT:
An anode and bracket assembly for attaching sacrificial anodes to submerged structures utilizes one or more shepard's hook hanger brackets. The anode or anodes are cast directly on the bracket with a relatively deep spiral grooved profile for vortex shedding in high currents reducing vibration of the anode, bracket and structure. The hooks extend vertically and have a crook or notch designed to mate with a horizontal structural member which may be circular or rectangular. The hook has a long approach or tip and a lifting eye on top to assist in the quick placement of the bracket on the structure. A pointed contact bolt is mounted in the hook to be driven into the underside of the structure. This clamps the bracket to the structure and also provides good electrical contact between the structure and anode. The anode may extend horizontally spanning between two or more hooks or simply hang vertically from a single hook.
