Taco 1600-024RP Body Gasket
The Taco 1600-024RP Body Gasket is a critical sealing component engineered specifically for Taco 1600 series circulator pumps. As a veteran-grade replacement part, it serves as the direct successor to the 800173F, ensuring 100% compatibility with older field installations. This gasket is designed to withstand the high-pressure and high-temperature environments of hydronic heating systems, providing a reliable, leak-free seal between the pump casing and the bracket assembly. In commercial HVACR applications, maintaining the integrity of the Taco 1600 series replacement parts is essential to permit optimal flow rates and prevent system downtime. This genuine OEM gasket is precision-cut from durable materials to match the exact specifications of the Taco 1600-024RP, ensuring a perfect fit for 1600, 1610, and 1611 pump models. For contractors performing routine maintenance or seal replacements, utilizing this specific circulator pump gasket is necessary to preserve the mechanical seal's environment and the pump's overall hydraulic efficiency.
Key Benefits- Direct OEM Replacement: Engineered as the precise replacement for part number 800173F, ensuring seamless fitment.
- Wide Compatibility: Designed for use across the Taco 1600 series, specifically models 1600, 1610, and 1611.
- High-Temperature Durability: Constructed to sustain the thermal stresses common in large-scale hydronic heating and cooling loops.
- Leak Prevention: Eliminates bypass and external leaks to maintain system pressure and protect peripheral HVACR components.
Is the 1600-024RP compatible with the older 800173F part?
Yes, the Taco 1600-024RP is the current manufacturer-designated replacement for the 800173F body gasket and is fully compatible with existing 1600 series pump casings.
Should I replace the body gasket every time I service the mechanical seal?
Yes. To ensure a professional-grade seal and prevent "comebacks," a new 1600-024RP gasket should be installed whenever the pump's rear pull-out assembly is removed from the volute.
Will this gasket work with large 1641 or 1900 series pumps?
This specific part is sized for the 1600, 1610, and 1611 frames. For larger 1600 series or 1900 series models, you must verify the specific casing diameter as those frames often require different gasket dimensions.
