Watts circulator pump rebuild

[NorthView Farm]

Hello

I am looking for information on rebuilding the circulator pumps used to tye my outdoor furnace into my domestic heat/hotwater system. One has a leak in the seal around the shaft and I figure while I'm at it i might just as well replace the brushes and any other wear items.

I am having sparse luck finding any info yet.

thanks for any insight anyone may be able to offer.

OOPS. Don't know where my head was, they're Taco. Maybe I'll have more luck now.

It sounds like you're refering to the 100 series circulators? type taco pumps in a search engine one of the links will say taco hvac and be related to parts. You can download the parts list. you'll need the seal kit for sure and gaskets. Take a good look at the coupler and the rubber grommets that hold the motor in place. Those are achilles heels on B&G pumps but that is a different design. Now the way I take them apart is to leave the glange inline and just unbolt the pump from the flange. I take the bolts out one at a time replacing them with the same diameter bolt but longer. Before starting, I cut the heads off the longer bolts and use then as guidepins for taking the pump off then going back on. It's more easier [he he] when your're working by yourself and in an awkward position. Give me some time to see if I can find a vendor. Johnstone Supply carries all the parts but they are wholesale only. BTW- there are no brushes in the motor.

I found a vendor online who says they can supply taco parts. You have to e-mail them. www.jupiterheating (http://www.jupiterheating) .com
