Taco 1600E 1/4HP 1600 Series In-Line Centrifugal Pump

Light commercial HVAC systems use Taco 1600E for closed-loop hydronic heating with 45 GPM capacity and 18 feet of maximum head. Its 1/4 HP, 115 V single-phase motor runs at 1725 RPM through a close-coupled cast iron pump body. Confirm the 1.5-inch two-bolt flange, 4.4 amp load, and internal thermal overload before startup.

The Taco 1600E uses an ASTM A48 cast iron casing, cast bronze impeller, alloy steel shaft with cupro-nickel sleeve, and ceramic-face EPT seal. Its 175 PSI pressure rating and 40°F to 250°F fluid range support compatible closed-loop hydronic systems, while the 12-inch flange-to-flange length and 46-pound dry weight guide replacement planning. The pump uses maintenance-free sealed ball bearings, direct close-coupled construction, and UL and CSA approvals.
