A: Ideal for use in large residential and light commercial hydronic heating systems, radiant heating, chilled water cooling, and hydro-air fan coils.

Maintenance Tips

• Self-Lubricating Design: The Taco 0012-F4 circulator features a maintenance-free, self-lubricating motor with no mechanical seal, ensuring reliable performance without the need for routine lubrication.

• Replaceable Cartridge: The circulator is equipped with a unique, replaceable cartridge that contains all moving parts. This design allows for easy servicing by replacing the cartridge instead of the entire unit.

• Anti-Condensate Baffle (ACB): An exclusive Anti-Condensate Baffle protects motor windings from condensate buildup, enhancing the pump's durability and efficiency, especially in chilled water applications.

• System Cleanliness: Keep the surrounding area clean and free from debris to prevent any obstruction or damage to the pump components.

• Regular Inspection: Conduct routine inspections for any signs of wear or unusual noise, addressing issues promptly to maintain efficient operation.

• Electrical Checks: Periodically inspect electrical connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion to maintain optimal performance.

• Pressure Monitoring: Use the dual pressure taps (suction/discharge) to monitor system pressure and ensure the pump is operating within the recommended parameters
