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.

    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.
