Installation shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions or warranty may be voided.
IMPORTANT
Operation of the TacoGenie without being plumbed into water lines may damage the
pump and void the warranty.
2. Tools you need:
• Pipe or crescent wrench • Phillips and flat head screwdrivers
• Pliers • Drill and
5
⁄
8
inch drill bit
• Wire strippers
3. Best location for the TacoGenie:
Typically, this would be at the fixture farthest away from the water heater, generally the
kitchen or master bathroom. If your hot water supply runs in two different directions from
the water heater, you may need more than one TacoGenie.
PUMP POSITION
Circulator must be mounted with the motor in the
horizontal position. Never install the circulator with
the electrical box below the motor. Be sure arrow on
pump casing is pointing in flow direction (hot water
to cold water side) prior to connecting the flex lines.
Note: T’s and flex lines supplied by Taco provide
maximum flow and performance. Alternative
plumbing parts may restrict flow and delay hot
water to fixtures.
WARNING: In the event the retaining screws have been pulled out of the
housing, DO NOT replace them. Use of any other screw may short out
the stator windings, creating a risk of electrical shock.
CAUTION: When installing electrical connections, do not apply
mechanical loads to the electrical box; otherwise, retaining screws
may be pulled out of the housing, making circulator unusable.
