Taco 2400-20-WB3P FAQ What is the Taco 2400-20-WB3P used for? The Taco 2400-20-WB3P is a high-capacity circulator designed specifically for unpressurized outdoor wood boiler systems. It moves heated water from the wood boiler through the connected hydronic heating system, helping transfer heat where it's needed. Its 1/6 HP motor and 2400-WB pump design are intended for applications that require more circulation capacity than smaller residential circulators provide. How do I know if the Taco 2400-20-WB3P is the right size pump for my wood boiler? The right circulator depends on the system's required flow rate and total head loss, not simply the size of the wood boiler. The 2400-20-WB3P's performance curve reaches approximately 32 GPM at low head, while available head decreases as flow increases, so the pump should be selected based on the actual piping, fittings, heat exchanger, and system resistance.

The 2400-20-WB3P is specifically designed for unpressurized outdoor wood boiler applications rather than being a general-purpose replacement for every hydronic circulator. Taco recommends stainless steel body circulators for open systems when additional corrosion protection is needed. What is the difference between a wood boiler circulator and a standard circulator pump? A wood boiler circulator is designed around the higher flow requirements and operating conditions commonly found in outdoor wood boiler systems. The Taco 2400-WB series uses a close-coupled, thermally
