Note: Full flange-to-flange three-year warranty on all 00 Series circulators.
Performance Data:
The TACO 006 is designed for circulating hot or chilled fresh water in open or closed loop applications. Typical uses include hydronic heating, domestic hot water recirculation, hydro-air heating/cooling, heat recovery units, water source heat pumps, drain down open loop solar systems and potable water applications. The unique, replaceable cartridge contains all of the moving parts and allows for easy service instead of replacing the entire circulator. The compact, low power consumption design is ideal for high efficiency jobs.

This circulator would need to be sweated to a 3/4" line. You can use it on lines with those sizes as long as it meets the flow and head pressure requirements for those loops.
You could have a flow rate as low as 0.1 GPM in a radiant system.
The correct answer to your question is simple. Since pressure drop is a function of Reynold's number, and since Reynold's number is a function of velocity, the only "minimum" pressure drop is achieved at zero flow. Of course, this won't work in a heat transfer system. The proper way to solve this problem is to first determine the flow rate you need to meet your heating requirements, then solve for pressure drop and select the appropriate pump.
