Taco Pump Multi-Purpose Valves for Hydronic Pump Discharge, Flow Control, Shutoff, and System Balancing
Taco Pump Multi-Purpose Valves, including the Taco Plus Two Multi-Purpose Valve, are designed to combine the key valve functions typically required on the discharge side of a pump into one compact component. In hydronic heating and cooling systems, these valves can function as a shutoff valve, non-slam check valve, balancing valve, and flow metering valve, helping simplify pump piping and reduce the number of separate components needed in the mechanical room.
The Plus Two Multi-Purpose Valve is built for performance and serviceability, with low pressure drops and a design that allows the stem seal packing to be replaced under full system pressure. Its ductile iron body with stainless steel and bronze-fitted construction supports long-term durability in commercial hydronic applications.
Taco Plus Two valves are available in straight pattern and angle pattern configurations, giving system designers and installers more flexibility in pump discharge piping layouts. They are offered in sizes from 1-1/2" through 14", with flanged connections on larger sizes and threaded connections on 1-1/2", 2", and 2-1/2" units.
