Taco 0012-SF4 Stainless Steel Pump 1/8HP
Plumbers drop the Taco 0012-SF4 straight into large volume domestic water systems to circulate 45 GPM against 13 feet of head using just a 1/8 HP motor.
- 45 GPM flow moves hot water
- 13 feet head overcomes pipe drag
- 0.125 HP drive lowers electrical load
- Stainless steel body stops internal rust
Description
A Taco 0012-SF4 stainless steel circulator uses a 1/8 HP motor for large-volume domestic-water systems. The official product documentation identifies 115 V, 60 Hz, single-phase operation, 3,250 RPM speed, stainless steel casing, and a flanged 1-1/2-inch connection for installation planning.
The supplied performance record lists maximum flow of 45 GPM and maximum head of 13 feet, while Taco documentation identifies a ceramic shaft, carbon bearings, EPDM seals, and a non-metallic impeller. These component details provide useful references for service-part and fluid-compatibility evaluation.
Key Specifications of the Taco 0012-SF4 Stainless Steel Cartridge Circulator
- The 1/8 HP motor establishes the listed power class for circuit planning and equipment comparison.
- 115 V, 60 Hz, single-phase data supports preliminary electrical and replacement screening.
- Operating at 3,250 RPM, the motor speed identifies the fixed-speed circulator configuration.
- The 1-1/2-inch flanged connection requires matching companion flanges and piping dimensions.
- Stainless steel casing construction provides the documented body material for system compatibility review.
- A ceramic shaft and carbon bearings identify the internal rotating assembly for service planning.
- EPDM seals and a non-metallic impeller provide material references for fluid evaluation.
Hydraulic Performance, Efficiency and Application
The supplied SKU record lists maximum flow of 45 GPM and maximum head of 13 feet, but these values are not normal operating guarantees. Large-volume domestic-water service is the documented application, and no exact efficiency metric is provided for this fixed-speed circulator.
Installation and System Requirements
Confirm 115 V, 60 Hz, single-phase power, 1-1/2-inch flange fitment, indoor installation conditions, fluid temperature, working pressure, and available service clearance before commissioning. The electrical and operating limits must match the applicable Taco submittal for the exact 0012-SF4 configuration.
Warranty, Support and Maintenance
Taco provides a 3-Year Limited Warranty from date of manufacture for 00 Series circulators and parts proven defective under normal use. Improper installation, misuse, misapplication, petroleum-based fluids, certain chemical additives, and operation contrary to Taco instructions are excluded. The replaceable cartridge supports component-level service planning. Mulmotor offers assistance with product details and order-related questions before purchase.
