Would this stainless steel pump be adequate to run a hot water loop off a steam boiler?  About 30 feet of baseboard and 100 ft of total piping

Probably wouldn't last

since it uses the boiler water to lubricate the bearings. Though they cost more, we always use bronze 3-piece circs for this, since they are oil-lubricated. These may also have gone to stainless steel by now, been a while since I looked.
