Can the 110 circ.be mounted horizontal or just vertical.Thanks

You can mount it any direction you want...

so long as the motor shaft is parallel with the gorund, and the oil cup on the bearing assembly is pointing up:-)

You can accomplish this by pulling the four bolts that hold the B/A onto the volute and turning it so the oil port is pointed up.

110 circulator installation instructions

Good morning
Thank you for using Taco products. Attached is the installation instruction sheet for the 100 series circulators. The correct mounting orientation is the motor shaft parallel to the floor. However, the flow direction can be horizontal, or vertical, the pump doesn't care. You can index the casing 90 degrees to meet your system requirement. The motor must be horizontal to keep the lube oil from weeping out the oil fill ports located at the top of the motor. Taco, does offer vertical pumps including multistage types. Please visit www.taco-hvac.com for a complete list of all products.

taco 110

When is it neccassary to use a 110. I have never used one.

The 110

is a very popular unit- it has a similar capacity to the B&G 100 circulator.

It is best suited to jobs that don't have a lot of head (back-pressure) since it can only pump up to 10 feet or so. It has a capacity of about 30 GPM at a 3.5 foot head, which makes it a good choice for converting larger gravity systems of 900-1200 square feet EDR or so to forced circulation (see

http://www.heatinghelp.com/newsletter.cfm?Id=125

for more on this).

As long as it's properly lubricated, the 110 will last a long time. I see many older units out there, still pumping. And it's backed by people like Joe Matiello, who hang out on the Wall!
