Bill, The Connection Size for this pump is 3/4" - 1-1/2"
You can as long as the check valve is not necessary for your application. Check valves are normally used to prevent flow of unwanted heat to zones that are not calling for heat. Removing a check valve will usually break the valve and make it unusable in the future.
yes
Yes you can.
yes it just pulls out with a pair of needle nose pliers
Yes you can but there should be a check value somewhere in the line to prevent back flow
First I would bleed the zone to eliminate any air in the pipes and then I would make sure there are sufficient pipe hangers and all are tight. I have had good luck with these pumps but that is not to say replacing one might be the answer. Process of elimination I would say to solve the problem. Hope this is helpful, Sent from my iPad
Steve, There may be a few things going on. Here it comes: If the sound is a crackle type rattle, then your pump may be cavitating. Understadning cavitation is when the pump is being starved. The impellor slices through the liquid, but the starvation causes a small gap between the molecules of liquid and when the fluid passes the impellor it smacks against the fluid molecules coming back together causing the sound. In order to test this reduce the opening of the valve after the pump by 50% and the crackling should stop. If it does than you know your starving the pump. Also, if the pump has other speeds, reduce the speed of the pump. The pump can be starved by elbows to close to the opening, or the fluid is too thick, or the there is an obstruction like build-up in the pipe, or even if your mixing valve is on the intake side of the pump. Your welcome to email me you results at: ****@***.*** Good Luck, John
The replacement check valve is part 596630.
This pump could be controlled through the circulator connection on a Taco Zone Valve Control, but not through the zone connections. We would recommend Taco part SR506-4 if you are zoning by circulator.
You can control this pump with a solid-state relay. That in turn needs a 5V to 30V DC input voltage at 1 mA only, to turn on. If you got 24V AC available, use a diode and resistor in line. This relay will work: http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_175222_-1 Relay Solid State 32 Volt DC Input 4 Amp 60 Volt DC Output 4-Pin KF0604D: KYOTO ELECTRIC View Larger Image Image is representative only KYOTO ELECTRIC Jameco Part no. 175222 Manufacturer KYOTO ELECTRIC Manufacturer no.

I can't answer your initial question but I should be able to help you with the rest. Most (if not all) 2 story homes are run on 1/25hp circulation pumps from the basement. I am running 2x500' loops of 3/4" pex in parallel plus an additional loop around the house no problem with one pump. The key thing to remember is having a closed loop system. Remember that any water pushed up is also coming back down. This is a great pump for radiant heating. The 3-speed ability allows me to run it at different speeds depending on the average temperature outside. I.e. Faster in the winter since the return temp needs to be fairly close to the supply temp to prevent boiler shock.
This pump will function as long as the canister with the impeller is not facing straight into the air.
It can at on Speed 3 at certain head pressures. You can compare the pump curves at the links below. http://s3.pexsupply.com/manuals/1249544647674/Grundfos_ups15-58fc_Product_Data.pdf http://s3.pexsupply.com/manuals/1249544537780/101-029.pdf
3-speed pumps work in a wider variety of applications and allow installers to cut down on their inventory. Regardless of the type of pump being used, all circulators must be sized based on the GPM and head pressure of the system.
Connecting two pumps in series would boost your flow rate, but it would not do anything for the head pressure.
