Grundfos 59896124 Pump
The Grundfos 59896124, model UP15-18BUC7, is a single-speed bronze circulator pump engineered for reliable performance in open-loop systems. This 1/25 HP unit is specifically designed for domestic hot water recirculation and potable water systems where corrosion resistance is non-negotiable. Operating on a standard 115V single-phase motor, it delivers a maximum flow of 14.7 GPM and a maximum head of 14.5 feet, making it a staple for maintaining immediate hot water availability in residential and light commercial plumbing applications.
Built with a lead-free bronze housing, the UP15-18BUC7 utilizes a canned-rotor design where the pump and motor form an integral unit without a mechanical shaft seal. Technical features include a high-grade ceramic shaft and radial bearings, a stainless steel rotor can, and a composite PES impeller to ensure longevity under continuous duty. The integrated 3/4 inch sweat connections and built-in check valve simplify installation in tight mechanical rooms, while the 145 PSI pressure rating ensures compatibility with standard pressurized plumbing networks.
Professional Key Benefits:
- Corrosion-Resistant Construction: The lead-free bronze housing is purpose-built for the high-oxygen environment of open-loop solar heating and domestic water lines.
- Maintenance-Free Design: The liquid-lubricated bearings and wet-rotor technology eliminate the need for manual lubrication or seal replacements.
- Quiet Operation: Precision-balanced components reduce vibration and decibel levels during peak demand cycles.
- Simplified Piping: Features a 3/4" sweat connection and an integral check valve to prevent backflow and reduce external component costs.
Common Contractor Questions:
Can the UP15-18BUC7 be used in radiant floor heating?
Yes, while commonly used for potable systems, the bronze construction is excellent for radiant floor heating and hydronic heating systems, especially those that may be susceptible to oxygen ingress which would otherwise corrode cast iron pumps.
What is the maximum liquid temperature rating?
This Grundfos circulator is rated for a maximum fluid temperature of 230°F, allowing it to handle high-temperature domestic water and boiler loops effectively.
Does this model include a timer or thermostat?
The 59896124 is a basic single-speed model. For energy-saving automation, external timers or aquastat controls should be integrated into the electrical circuit.
