0026e, 0034e, 0034ePlus Incorrect Wiring Instructions

Mar 8, 2022 | Press Release, Products News

Part Numbers Effected:  VM2644-HD1-RC2A00, VM2644-DD1-RS2A00, VM3450-HY1-FC2A00, VM3450-HY1-FS2A00, VR3450-HY1-FC2A00, VR3450-HY1-FS2A00

Date Code Effected: 4/20 – 4/22

Incorrect wiring guidance was included in the 0026e, 0034e, & 0034ePlus instruction sheets that stated these circulators were double insulated and a grounding wire was not necessary, but recommended for safety. Although the motor of these circulators is double insulated, the circulator as a complete appliance is not. These products must be grounded per UL778 standard. Any products that have been installed without a proper ground connection should have the ground wire added in the field at the next scheduled service. In the unlikely event the external heat sink becomes energized due to a failure in the product, this poses a potential shock risk.

As a precaution, Taco has updated our documentation to reflect the correct installation procedures per compliance with UL778 standards for the above referenced products. Links to updated instruction sheets:
