Suction Diffuser
Model: SD
The Taco Suction Diffuser incorporates numerous features into one device that simplifies installations and reduces installation costs. It is a flow straightening device that provides maximum flow efficiency at the suction inlet of the pump while at the same time reducing space and fitting requirements and eliminating the need for an equivalent length of ten pipe diameters of straight run on the suction side of the pump. It is an elbow (and in some cases a reducing elbow) with a built in strainer that is easily maintained and will provide years of trouble free system performance.

Multi-Purpose Valve
Model: MPV
The "Plus Two" Valve offers performance-- low pressure drops that are equal to or better than any valve on the market today--and convenience: You can replace the stem seal packing under full system pressure. The "Plus Two" Multi-Purpose Valve is made of ductile iron with stainless steel and bronze fitted construction to provide years of trouble-free service. It is available in sizes ranging from 1 1/2" through 12", with flanged connections (1 1/2", 2" and 2 1/2" units are threaded connections).

ACCU-Flo Circuit Setter
Model: ACUF
With Taco Accu-Flo Balancing Valves, you will experience greater balancing accuracy than ever before. Most conventional balancing valves use a variable orifice that delivers poor balancing accuracy, high pressure drops, low regains, and an inability to read low flows. The Taco Accu-Flo uses a modified venturi design, instead, to deliver four to five times greater accuracy. Flow Measurement is independent of stem and ball position, and the tamper-resistant memory stop provides accurate resetting. With calibrated nameplate for presetting, all-brass interior parts, precision machining and 100% factory testing, these valves are the highest quality fixed-port venturi balancing valve on the market today.

LeakBreaker®
Model: LBW-075-H-1LF, LB0075-H-1LF
The Taco LeakBreaker® is a water heater leak protection device that protects against flood damage from the containment failure of a water heater. It consists of a control unit, a valve with actuator and a sensor. This resettable, testable protection device can be installed on any style water heater to shut off the incoming water supply, preventing additional water flow to a damaged water heater. The two-color LED light and audible alarm lets you know the status of LeakBreaker at all times. LeakBreaker featuring eLink™ uses Wi-Fi® to communicate with the cloud, enabling status alerts to be sent directly to the users whenever a change occurs. Notifications are sent via email or text. Alarms will be sent when the device detects status changes for the following: alarm activation, AC or battery power, sensor and valve connection, and module connectivity. Wi-Fi® is a registered trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance®.

Timer & Aquastat
Models: 265-1, 265-3, 563-2
The Timer/Aquastat combination is designed to cycle the circulator during peak demand periods. Use the two devices together or separately. When used together, the Timer switches ON, sending power to the unit. The Temperature Aquastat measures the temperature and cycles the circulator as long as the Timer is “ON.” If used separately, the Timer operates the circulator during the chosen number of 15-minute intervals.
When using only the Aquastat, the circulator cycles continuously to maintain a temperature between 95º F. and 115º F. For maximum convenience and flexibility, you can retrofit both to any Taco 00® Series Cartridge Circulator. We are the South Florida distributor for common models including Taco 265-3 and 563-2
