Taco 1600D Stainless Steel Pump 1/4HP

Potable-water systems use Taco 1600D for domestic hot-water recirculation and open-loop circulation. Its 1/4 HP, 115 V single-phase motor operates at 1725 RPM, delivering up to 45 GPM against 18 feet of head through a stainless steel body. Confirm NSF/ANSI 372 compliance, the 175 PSI pressure rating, flange alignment, and motor protection before startup.

The Taco 1600D uses a close-coupled NEMA 56 frame motor with 4.4 amp full-load current and a 1.5-inch two-bolt flange. Its cast bronze impeller, alloy steel shaft with cupro-nickel sleeve, ceramic-face EPT seal, and 40°F to 250°F fluid range support potable-water circulation. The pump also includes internal thermal overload, maintenance-free sealed ball bearings, UL and CSA approvals, a 12-inch flange-to-flange length, and 46-pound dry weight.
