Looks like a black cast iron elbow to me.

It's old type iron/galvanized pipe. I figured that way it was steel fitting into a steel tank and maybe I would avoid some galvanic corrosion.
It's such a discussion about whether it is needed or not. But I did it anyway. Now, if there is any metal to metal corrosion between the check valve and elbow at least I can toss those out without ruining the tank.Larry KE4DMG

Wondering what you ended up doing. I had the same issue. I just plugged a brass check valve in, but the got concerned about galvanic reaction. I decided the best way to fix this issue is put a non conductive adapter between the aluminum tank and the brass check valve. I heard talk about cpvc and pvc not being rated for hot water. However, research shows PVC is good for 175*F. That is just fine for the water heater. My biggest concern was having to back out, cut, melt, saw plastic or picked threads out of the aluminum tank if it ever broke again. The solution I came up with is to use an Aluminum 1/2" 90 street elbow out of the tank, then put the PVC 1/2" male x female npt adaptor into the elbow, then the brass check valve. If the pvc adaptor fails or needs replaced, I can unthread the elbow to work on it apart from the tank.Alan and Paula
