Taco 0026e ECM high-efficiency circulator
Taco Comfort Solutions expanded its family of easy to use, high-efficiency ECM circulators with the addition of the 0026e. With a maximum of 26 feet of head and 44 gpm, the new circulator offers up to 85% energy savings over a conventional circulator. The 0026e circulator is available with cast iron or NSF/ANSI 61- and 372-certified stainless steel volutes, ideal for either closed-loop heating systems or domestic hot water systems. It also offers a rotatable control box for a professional look, no matter the orientation of the installed circulator. The 0026e circulator features five simple settings: low, medium, high, Taco’s exclusive activeADAPT self-adjusting proportional pressure, and 0-10v control. The 0026e is dual-voltage 115/230 volts, and the 6 1/2-inch rotated flange-to-flange dimension retrofits most circulators in its class. 401-942-8000; www.tacocomfort.com
Webstone boiler vent valve
Webstone, a brand of NIBCO, announces its new boiler vent valve. The space-saving valve expands the utility of a boiler’s existing 3/4-inch pressure relief valve port, using its location at the top of the unit for the placement of an air vent and other accessories. Its automatic air vent can be isolated for service, allowing the PRV (included with the boiler or sold separately) to operate unobstructed. Plugged FIP ports accommodate the installation of a low-water cut-off device and/or pressure gauge. 800-255-9529; www.webstonevalves.com
