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.
