Looking for pump info on a old B&G circulator

Hi! I was just trying to cross reference my ancient B&G circ pump that I used to have on my heating system: Info is as follows: "P-4-132-5-5", "125-1 1/4" "DD" . Some years ago I replaced same with a Taco cartridge circ pump, and I assume I cross referenced same correctly, but then again it's never safe to assume is it? I'm "second guessing" myself because now I have an all new boiler (Buderus) with a nice Grundfos circ pump on same (pumping away as Mr. Holohan taught us some years ago) and wanted to be sure all is up to specs...thanks for any info!

That is an old 100 series bell and gossett circ. 1/12 HP "DD" is date code . approx. late 60`s0

''Specs" would come from determining what size circ was necessary for a particular circuit or system, not simply matching the old series 100. It may have been over-sized. Most were.
If you're getting good heat in all areas, then the present circ is probably sufficient. Most hydronic systems are over-pumped.Bob Boan
