Considerations For Basket Sizing:
  • Baskets should be 2" to 4" shorter than the longest piece of work.
  • Baskets should be 1" above the solution level.
  • Hook length is measured from the top of anode bar to 1" above the solution level.
  • Quantities for rectangular baskets should be three (3) 2 ½" x 6" baskets for every two feet above the bar

Sizing And Styles:
  • Rectangular Baskets: 2-1/2" x 6" - Standard Stock Lengths include 18", 24", 30", 36". Other lengths are built to order.
  • Round Baskets: 2 1/2" Diameter x Length - Standard Stock Lengths include 18", 24", 30", and 36". Other lengths are built to order

Basket Amperage & Hooks
Rectangular Baskets are standard with 50 AMPS/Basket Double Contact Hooks. Higher Amperage is available (i.e., 100 Amps, 150 Amps and 200 Plus Amps).

To determine the AMPS needed per basket, please use the following formula:
  • AMPS needed per Basket = Total AMPS of TANK
  • Total # of Baskets

Amperage Rating Per Hook:
  • 25AMP = 1/8" x 1" Double Contact Hook or 3/8" Square Bar Hook
  • 50AMP = 1/4" x 1" Double Contact Hook or 1/2" Square Bar Hook
  • 75AMP = 3/8" x 1" Double Contact Hook or 5/8" Square Bar Hook
  • 100AMP = 1/2" x 1" Double Contact Hook or 3/4" Square Bar Hook

Normal Application:
  • Inverted "V" Lift Hooks
  • Inverted "U" Hooks
  • "T" Handle Lift Hooks
  • Reverse Lift Hooks for easier access in lifting baskets
  • Submergible Hooks
  • Loading Chutes for easier anode loading
  • Mesh on 4 sides of basket for greater anode to cathode ratio

For Heavy Duty applications, TITAN offers the following anode basket options:
  • Heavier hooks for strength and current carrying capabilities
  • Ti Clad Copper Hooks for higher amperage rating
  • Thicker mesh material to minimize bulging of basket
  • Thicker side channel construction
