00R

Its my understanding that this new pump is just a 00R with a new name. I thought it might have been their anwser to the Grundfos UPS26-99 but was told its just the current 00R.

00R, and the new 0015

Hi Chris
The new 0015 is not the same as the 00R.  The 0015 is an all-new family platform using single speed, 3-speed and variable speed motor options for a wide range of Hydronic, Radiant and Solar Thermal applications.  It also includes a new Stainless Steel casing option for use on Domestic Hot Water recirculation (DHWR) and other open fresh water applications.  Both casing materials come in standard in-line or rotated flange options and include an Integral Flow Check (IFC) as standard.
 
The Cast Iron 0015 3-Speed is a direct replacement for the current 00R 3-Speed and the Grundfos UPS15-58FC, B&G NRF-25 and Wilo Star S21F etc.   A Stainless Steel 0015 3-Speed version is a direct replacement for the Grundfos UPS 15-35SF and UPS15-55SF for DHWR and opens fresh water systems. 
 
With the addition of Taco’s Variable Speed control options, the 0015 can be adapted to many other applications including 0015-VDT for maintaining a constant system Delta T, 0015-VR (Outdoor Reset) or 0015-VS (Set Point) for Radiant injection mixing or 0015-VT for Solar Thermal systems.
 
The existing 00R-3-Speed s will be discontinued, effective June 2012 and replaced by the more universal 0015 for a wider range of models, options and system applications. 
 
 

But does it have great curves?

Can't find the curve chart for this circ, Joe- can you dig it up for us?

0015 curve

     attached is the information you requested

Thanks

for the quick response!

Joe

Its the same curve as the 00R. What is the benefit of using this pump over the existing 00R? I was hoping this pump was in addition to the 00R to match the Grundfos 26-99 3-speed.

0015 attributes

Chris, I have explained the attributes of the 0015,  when comparing it to the soon to be obsolete 00R.  
The 0015 includes a new Stainless Steel casing option; both casing materials come in standard in-line or rotated flange with an Integral Flow Check (IFC) as standard.  As you mentioned the Cast Iron 0015 3-Speed is a direct replacement for the current 00R 3-Speed and the Grundfos UPS15-58FC, B&G NRF-25 and Wilo Star S21F etc., but it is not equivalent to the Grundfos 26-99. 
The now available Stainless Steel 0015 3-Speed version is a direct replacement for the Grundfos UPS 15-35SF and UPS15-55SF. Another, cool feature  available for the 0015 is the variable Speed control options, including the 0015-VDT , delta T,  0015-VR outdoor Reset, 0015-VS set point, or the 0015-VT solar thermal pump. 
So when you say they are the same pump, you mean the performance characteristics only; right?  Obviously, the 0015 has many more available features to handle most of your application needs, which is why the 00R pump is going away.
