SUPERSEDES: New
Plant ID No. 001-5025

EFFECTIVE: February 23, 2021

DESCRIPTION:

The 0018e® stainless steel is a variable speed wet rotor circulator with an ECM, permanent 
magnet motor. Operating modes include infinitely variable fixed speed, constant pressure, 
proportional pressure, and activeADAPT™ self-adjusting proportional pressure. Adjust the 
operating mode with the dial or the Taco 0018e™ ECM Circulator Mobile App using Bluetooth® 
connectivity on your smartphone or tablet. The ECM high-efficiency motor reduces power 
consumption by up to 85% compared to equivalent AC permanent split capacitor circulators.
