Instruction Sheet
0010-MSF-IFC Multi-Speed Cartridge Circulator “Ser ice Pump”
with Integral Flow Check and 4–Bolt Uni ersal Flange
102-232
APPLICATION:
Use the “Service Pump” to replace most commonly used circulators.
• Maximum operating pressure is 125 psi (862 kPa).
• Maximum water temperature not to exceed nameplate rating.
• Cast iron circulators are to be used or closed loop systems only.
• Taco Cartridge circulator pumps are or indoor use only – employer uniquement
a linterieur.
CAUTION: 1. The addition of petroleum based fluids or certain chemical additives to systems
utilizing TACO equipment voids the warranty.
2. Use supply wires suitable for 90 C – ATTENTION: Employer des fils dalimentation
adequats pour 90 C.
WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the power supply to the circulator and the main
electrical unit.
WARNING: Do not use in swimming pool or spa areas; pump has not been investigated for this
application.
WARNING: In the event the retaining screws have been pulled out of the housing, DO NOT replace
them. Use of any other screw may short out the stator windings, creating a risk of elec-
trical shock.
CAUTION: When installing electrical connections, do not apply mechanical loads to the capacitor
box; otherwise, retaining screws may be pulled out of the housing, making circulator
unusable.

Plant ID# 001-3904
CAUTION: Installations at higher elevations over 5000 feet must have higher fill pressure of 20 psi
minimum to prevent pump cavitation and flashing. Premature failure may result. Adjust
expansion tank pressure to equal fill pressure. A larger size expansion tank may be required.
INSTALLATION:
1. Location – Install the “OO” circulator on the supply side o the boiler “pumping away” rom the expansion tank as shown in
Figure 1. This is the best pump location or optimum system per ormance and maintaining positive system pressure. An alter-
nate location is on the boiler return line as shown in Figure 2.
2. Mounting position – Mount circulator with the motor in the horizontal position. It may be mounted vertically with the
motor up, provided that the system cold ill pressure is at least 20 psi (138 kPa) to ensure proper air purging and pre-
vent lashing.
3. Rotating body – Body has an arrow on the ront that indicates direction o low. To rotate body, remove the our body
bolts, rotate body and replace bolts. Make sure that the junction box is NOT located underneath the circulator. (The
junction box must NOT be located in the 6 o’clock position, as viewed rom the motor end.)
4. Electrical connections – Observe all applicable codes when connecting to power supply.
The motor is impedance protected, and does not require additional overload protection.
Either colored wire rom the capacitor box can be attached to either colored wire rom the
power supply. There is no “hot” or “common” wire leading rom the capacitor box. Typical
installation would be to attach the white wire to the white (common) power supply wire and
either the yellow or blue wire to the black (hot) power supply wire. The pump cannot run
backwards.

CAUTION: Do not use flat rubber gaskets on pump flanges. Only use O-ring gaskets provided or
leaking will result. Warranty will be void.

5. Fill system with tap water – The system must be illed be ore operating the circulator. The bearings are water lubricat-
ed and should not be allowed to operate dry. Filling the system will result in immediate lubrication o the bearings. It is
always good practice to lush a new system o oreign matter be ore starting the circulator.
6. Circulator operation – Operate the circulator or 5 minutes immediately a ter lushing the system to purge remaining air
rom the bearing chamber. This is especially important when installing the circulator during the o -season.
7. Turn speed dial on circulator to the desired speed and per ormance range. See Figure 3.

Your “00” circulator with an Integral Flow Check (IFC) is
designed or easy removal, service and replacement. Please
ollow these instructions to ensure proper service and operation
o the circulator.
REMOVAL:
1. Disconnect power to circulator and related equipment.
2. Shut o water supply. Isolate circulator using service valves
or drain system i valves are not available.
3. Allow system to cool to prevent scalding. Loosen lange bolts
slowly to relieve system pressure and remove circulator rom
the system. Access the IFC located in the discharge lange
(Figure 4).
4. Using needle nose pliers, care ully grip the IFC body and
remove slowly.
