Installation Notes
The Taco 0014-F1 is a wet-rotor circulator designed for horizontal mounting in closed-loop systems. Proper isolation and check valves are recommended for service and backflow prevention. Always verify pump placement against system head loss and loop flow requirements. Installation by a licensed HVAC or plumbing professional is recommended to ensure code compliance and system performance.
Contractor Considerations
Not suitable for open-loop or potable water applications—use bronze or stainless steel versions if required.
Compatible with most system controllers and zoning configurations.
Replaceable cartridge minimizes the cost and time of servicing high-use equipment.
