HVAC Circulating Pump 1/40 hp
The Taco 003-BC4 is a potable water circulating pump rated at 1/40 horsepower for 115V single-phase supply. It uses sweat connections for 1/2 inch intake and discharge pipes with a 4 1/4 inch face-to-face dimension. The unit draws 0.43 A at nameplate voltage and operates at a single speed.
Installers needing a compact bronze circulator
Plumbers fitting hydronic heating or domestic hot-water recirculation loops will find the pump compatible with potable systems and sealed with an EPDM body gasket. The 5 ft maximum head and 6 gpm flow at 1 ft of head suit low-pressure, low-flow circuits. Installers requiring higher head, variable speed or flanged connections should look at other models.
Continuous duty at rated conditions
Under sustained operation the motor runs at its fixed 1/40 hp output with a steady 0.43 A draw on 115V AC. Flow falls to zero at the 5 ft head limit, so the pump only maintains circulation within its published curve. The single-speed design means output does not vary with load changes.
