Taco 0011-SF4 Stainless Steel 1/8Hp Circulator Pump

Description

The Taco 0011-SF4 Stainless Steel 1/8Hp Circulator Pump is a popular choice for circulating water in various hydronic heating and cooling systems. Here’s a breakdown of its key features and functions:

Function:

• Circulates water in closed-loop hydronic systems: Ideal for residential and light commercial heating applications like radiant floor heating, baseboard heating, or fan coils, as well as chilled water-cooling systems.
• High-velocity performance: Delivers up to 31 gallons per minute flow rate and 31 feet of head, making it suitable for systems with medium flow requirements and moderate head pressure needs.
• 1/8 HP motor: Provides efficient power for typical small to medium-sized systems.
• Stainless steel construction: Offers durability and corrosion resistance, ideal for closed-loop systems and open-loop solar applications.

Key Features:

• Compact and lightweight design: Makes installation easy in tight spaces.
• Quiet operation: Ideal for residential settings.
• Replaceable cartridge design: Simplifies maintenance and repairs.
• Universal flange-to-flange dimensions: Allows for easy replacement of other pump models.
• Anti-condensate baffle: Protects the motor windings from condensate buildup in chilled water applications.
• Multiple speed settings: Adjust the pump performance for optimal efficiency and noise reduction.
• Integral flow check (IFC models): Prevents gravity flow, improving system efficiency and reducing installation costs (available in specific models like the 0011-SF4-IFC).

Applications:

• Residential and light commercial hydronic heating systems (radiant, baseboard, fan coil).
• Chilled water-cooling systems.
• Open-loop solar heating systems (with stainless steel models).

Things to Consider:

• System compatibility: Ensure the pump’s flow rate, head capacity, and material (cast iron or stainless steel) match your system requirements.
• Professional installation recommended: While DIY installation is possible, consulting a qualified plumber is recommended for optimal performance and safety, especially when dealing with hydronic systems and electrical connections.
• Maintenance: Regular inspection and cleaning of the pump and cartridge are recommended to maintain optimal performance and prevent premature wear.

Overall, the Taco 0011-SF4 Stainless Steel 1/8Hp Circulator Pump is a versatile and reliable option for circulating water in various hydronic heating and cooling systems. Its compact size, multiple speed settings, replaceable cartridge, and stainless-steel construction make it a popular choice for both homeowners and professionals.
