moving the wiring box from the taco 007 pump??

skimmer

I have a friend who has a taco 007 in an extremely tight spot, no space on either side, crushing the electric hook up box on the taco. Feeding a hot water loop off a steam boiler and was forced to install it upside down, flow now going into boiler instead of away.

Getting terrible water hammer.

In order to flip it over in the right position, the electric hook up box has to be removed.

Is there a kit that allows you to mount the electric connections somewhere else? Ive seen an electric plug in kit..

its that bad, no space.. any ideas?

Hello skimmer,

Maybe remove the 4 screws and re-clock the whole motor assembly.

Just spin the whole assembly?

Yes, spin the whole motor assembly 180 degrees so the pump pumps in the correct direction for the system and the electrical box is out of the way. However I have not tried it with a 007, maybe there is an indexing that prevents it. It works with other equipment if done correctly.

You don't need this whole video.

The 4 hex bolts in corners.

with the water drained down out of the pump

But flip the entire pump first if it is flowing the wrong direction ?

Just happened to see this in an unrelated thread.

Release the pressure of the system, and rotate to motor assembly.
