Product Line Summary

CE Series Pumps meet the latest standards for hydraulic performance and dimensional characteristics.  Each pump is backed by Taco, Inc., a worldwide leader in the manufacture of heating and cooling equipment for more than seven decades.

Parts standardization and interchangeability for the CE Pump line results in reduced parts inventories and lower costs for multiple pump installations.  An easy-to-replace, slip-on shaft sleeve facilitates seal maintenance in the field and lowers maintenance costs.  The exclusive dry shaft design protects the pump shaft by eliminating contact between the shaft and the circulating fluid.  Corrosion-resistant shaft materials are generally not required.  CE Pumps also feature seal flush line taps, allowing the installation of a filter to protect the seal from non-condensable particles present in the system.  In addition, pressure tappings on suction and discharge flanges promote easy verification of pump performance.

Taco CE Pumps are ideally suited for a wide variety of applications, including heating, air conditioning, pressure boosting, cooling water transfer and water supply.

Typical Specification

Furnish and install centrifugal end suction single stage pump(s) with capacities and characteristics as shown on the plans.  Pumps shall be Taco model CE or approved equal.

Pump volute or casing shall be center-line discharge for positive air venting constructed of class 35 cast iron with integrally cast mounting feet.  The pump shall be fitted with replaceable bronze wear rings, drilled and tapped for gauge ports at both the suction and discharge flanges and for drain port at the bottom of the casing.  The pump shall be capable of being serviced without disturbing the system piping.

The impeller shall be bronze and hydraulically balance by either back vanes or back wear ring and balancing holes.  The impeller shall be dynamically balanced and shall be fitted to the shaft with a key.

The pump shall be close coupled to a NEMA standard JM regreasable motor.   The pump shall incorporate a dry shaft design to prevent the circulating fluid from contacting the shaft.  The shaft shall be covered with a replaceable bronze (stainless steel) shaft sleeve.

The pump shall have a self flushing seal design or a positive external seal flushing line.  Any mechanical seal pump used on an open system shall be furnished with a seal flush line and a Purocell #900 replaceable cartridge filter with shut-off isolation valve installed in the seal flushing line.  The filter shall have the ability to remove particles down to five microns in size.

The pump seal shall be EPT Ceramic rated 256 Deg. F. (EPT Tungsten Carbide rated 300 Deg. F.).
