Application
The Taco 0012 is specifically designed for high flow / medium head applications in large 
residential and light commercial systems.  Ideal for large BTUH Boilers, 2" recirculation loops, 
Primary/Secondary loops, commercial water heaters and light commercial heating and cooling 
systems.  The Bronze or Stainless Steel 0012 can be used on open loop systems.  The unique 
replaceable cartridge contains all of the moving parts and allows for easy service instead of 
replacing the entire circulator.  Universal flange to flange dimensions and orientation allows 
the 0012 to easily replace other models.  Compact, low power consumption design makes it 
ideal for high-efficiency jobs.  The 0012-F4 is a direct replacement for the HV Series and the 
0012-F4-1 is a direct replacement for the 2" Series using existing flanges.
