Taco 131 Series 100 Cast Iron Three-Piece Circulating Pump 1/3HP
Description
Taco 131 Cast Iron Three Piece 1/3 HP
The Taco 131 is a heavy-duty three-piece circulator engineered for medium-head hydronic heating and cooling applications. The mechanical architecture features a rugged cast iron volute and a high-velocity impeller designed to maintain a stable laminar flow path at 1750 RPM. Its modular construction allows for the independent replacement of the motor or bearing assembly, ensuring the pump remains a serviceable asset for decades. This model is ideal for large residential or commercial closed-loop systems where a robust, rebuildable pump is required to overcome significant piping resistance.
Driven by a 1/3 HP motor, the Taco 131 provides high starting torque to ensure reliable fluid movement after long periods of seasonal inactivity. The motor is coupled to the bearing frame via a flexible spring coupling, which dampens electrical harmonics and prevents motor vibration from being transmitted into the system piping. This stable electrical interface protects the mechanical seal and the precision-ground shaft, contributing to a higher MTBF in demanding, constant-duty environments.
