Frequently asked questions
Common questions about TACO from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between TACO cartridge assemblies like the 007-045RP and the 0010-021RP?
The TACO 007-045RP cartridge assembly is designed for the 007 series pumps, while the 0010-021RP is for the 0010 series. Both include bolts for installation, but they are not interchangeable due to differences in pump housing dimensions and hydraulic performance. The 007 series typically handles lower flow rates (up to 16 gpm) compared to the 0010 series, which can handle higher flows. Always verify the pump series before ordering a cartridge.
Are TACO flanges like the 110-251F-1 compatible with other brands of circulator pumps?
TACO flanges, such as the 110-251F-1 (3/4 in FNPT, cast iron) and 110-252SF-1 (1 in FNPT, stainless steel), are designed to fit TACO pump models like the 110-113. While they may physically match flanges from other manufacturers due to standard pipe thread sizes, compatibility is not guaranteed because bolt patterns and face-to-face dimensions can vary. For reliable sealing and alignment, use TACO flanges with TACO pumps.
What voltage options are available for TACO general-purpose inline circulator pumps?
TACO general-purpose inline circulator pumps are available in several voltage configurations. For example, the VM1816-DY2-US2W00 operates at 120V AC, the 2400-60-3P at 115/230V AC (dual voltage), and the 1630EAE10132096 at 115V AC. Always check the nameplate voltage to match your electrical supply. Some models may require specific wiring for dual-voltage operation.
Can TACO zone valves like the V075T2G2ZA024Q4A2 be used in commercial hydronic systems?
Yes, the TACO V075T2G2ZA024Q4A2 is a 2-way motorized zone valve with a 10.3 Cv flow rate and 24V AC actuator, suitable for commercial hydronic systems. It features a non-spring return mechanism, meaning it stays in its last position on power loss, which is typical for applications where fail-safe operation is not required. The 3/4 in female NPT connection allows integration into standard piping.
What materials are used in TACO circulator pump construction?
TACO circulator pumps are available with either cast iron or stainless steel volutes and impellers. For instance, the 2400-60-3P has a cast iron body, while the VM1816-DY2-US2W00 uses stainless steel. Cast iron is common for standard hydronic systems due to its durability and cost-effectiveness, while stainless steel is preferred in systems with higher corrosion resistance requirements, such as those using treated water or glycol mixtures.
