Choosing the right Grundfos circulator.........?

Well I looked all around in Mr. Siegenthalers book for the headloss of 1/2" PEX but could not come up with it. Probably too obvious!

I tried the Grundfos website, which was fancy, but it did not show me the pumps they had for sale. I know they are in there soooooooomewhere because hotrod said they make them.
I obtained a Grundfos CD interactive catalog which was cool too but was not set up to help sell pumps either. (Just a hint to the CD design people: put a "BACK" button on each page so we can surf around instead of mucking about till we just start over or lose interest. You know the drill.
What I was looking for was a graph like the one in the Johnstone supply Catalog for the Tacos....no existo?
End of whining.

The pumps I want are the small Three speed integral check s UPS such n such to fit the following applications:

Pump#1
Heated Bathroom Floor with 70' of Rehau 1/2" tube under it plus another 120' of 1/2" PEX for supply and return


Pump#2
Supplemental heat provided by a Myson Whispa 5000 kickspace heater which has a approximate hydraulic resistance of 1.20 ft wg @ 3 GPM fed and returned by 120' of 1/2" PEX

Pump#3
This one is a 1" copper header that goes to the second floor and splits into two 3/4 radiator loops that is quite long and figures out to 18'+ of head @2~3GPM

Pump#4
35' of 1/2" PEX feeds a 8' Slant-Fin and 35' more feet of 1/2" PEX returns

If anyone can toss out some Grundfos pump numbers to me I will be greatly indebted and they may even be in stock for the weekend!
Thanks for being here to help! I am so indebted to Dan for providing this forum and to all you people out there making these ideas happen.

Grudfos technical info

This is not directly related to your dilemma, but I highly recommend that you get a copy of Grunfos's paperback technical handbook. It contains a wealth of information on head losses through various piping materials & sizes, pump curves on most Grundfos hydronic products, & a variety of other hydronic subjects. No joke, this book is so good my B & G rep carries one.

Happy pumping.

Grundfos Cut Sheets

We just printed new and improved Product and Technical guides. They're much cleaner and easier to read than the first generation. I don't have digital copies of all the sub data sheets to post here, but you can order the books from our lit department. Use part numbers L-UP-PG-001 for the small UP's, L-UPS-PG-001 for the UPS, L-TP-PG-001 for the TP's, L-MLP-PG-01 for the L series, and L-TG-PG-001 for the technical book. There are a lot of numbers, but we split the products and tech info out to make the books easier to read and less expensive to reprint as we add prodcuts. Our literature department fax is 800-366-5920.
