Taco 009-SF5 Stainless Steel Circulator Pump with Flanged Ends

Description

The Taco 009-SF5 Stainless Steel Circulator Pump with Flanged Ends is a popular choice for hydronic heating, radiant heating, and domestic water recirculation systems, thanks to its high performance and versatility. Here’s a breakdown of its key features and functions:

Function:

• Circulates water in closed-loop hydronic systems for various applications.
• Delivers high head and low flow performance, making it suitable for systems with long piping runs or multiple floors.
• 1/8 HP motor provides sufficient power for most small to medium-sized systems.
• Stainless steel construction offers durability and corrosion resistance, ideal for closed-loop and open-loop solar applications.

Key Features:

• High-velocity performance: Generates up to 35 feet of head and 10 gallons per minute flow rate.
• Field-serviceable cartridge: Simplifies maintenance and repairs by allowing internal component replacement without needing to replace the entire pump.
• Quiet operation: Ideal for residential settings.
• Compact design: Fits conveniently in tight spaces.
• Multiple speed settings: Adjust the pump performance for optimal efficiency and noise reduction.
• Flanged connections: Simplify connection to piping.
• Integral flow check (IFC models): Prevents gravity flow, improving system efficiency and reducing installation costs (available in specific models like the 009-SF5-IFC).

Applications:

• Residential and light commercial hydronic heating systems (radiant, baseboard, fan coil).
• Domestic water recirculation 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 (stainless steel or cast iron) 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 009-SF5 Stainless Steel Circulator Pump with Flanged Ends is a reliable and versatile option for circulating water in various hydronic applications. Its high-velocity performance, compact size, field-serviceable cartridge, and multiple speed settings make it a popular choice for both homeowners and professionals.
