I have two single-speed brass Grundfos circulators but need one more. I'm looking for one like, or similar to the one pictured below.

Thanks,

Jack

    I believe that you may need to substitute a stainless steel model for an open system. They are more common.

    Update. there is a replacement available @JackW


    try this

    The pump curve is close enough for government work.

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    If you are looking for a flanged one the smaller alpha pumps have a stainless model available, and then you have an ECM pump as well

    @GGross, I'll look into those; what's an ECM pump, and is it compatible with the two Grundfos single-speed circs that I intend to install? Thanks for the info, greatly appreciated.

    @EdTheHeaterMan, thanks, Ed; I'll look into one of those.

    Stainless or composite body are the more common these days. If you want the older bronze body, check E bay. Plenty of old stock out there.
    The union body DHW pumps would require repiping for the connections

    @hot_rod, I've been watching eBay, but nothing yet; I even checked FB Marketplace. I don't know what union body DHW pumps are. I doubt I'll find the exact model pump; how close to the specs of the ones I have now do I need to adhere to? What do I need to look for on the nameplates?

    I've got one of those brass Grundfos circs on hand with 1/2" sweat connections (pretty sure it's a 15-42, will have to double check), brand new if you'd be interested

    @GroundUp, all my lines out of the manifold are, and the other two circulators are 3/4".

    @JackW It could certainly be reduced to fit, the performace curve is almost identical as shown above. I looked this morning, they are actually 15-18B5 models. New on SupplyHouse they're $265 plus tax or $297 for the 3/4" version (B7), I'd sell you one of these for $200 shipped if you wanted.

    @GroundUp, thank you for the offer, but an almost exact match popped up on eBay the other day, so I snatched it up.
