Taco Vertical In-Line Pumps (KV / SKV Series)

Taco KV pumps provide efficient circulation in a vertical in-line arrangement that saves space and requires no isolation pads. Hydraulically balanced impellers reduce bearing loading, while a dry shaft design, replaceable shaft sleeve and seal flush line simplify maintenance. SKV SelfSensing versions offer integrated variable-speed control and ProBalance® balancing; optional ECM packages improve energy efficiency.
