Taco TACO-951-2491RP Rear Ball Bearing Series Fe Pumps

Product Description

The TACO TACO-951-2491RP is a rear ball bearing designed as a direct replacement component for TACO Series FE pumps. Ball bearings in hydronic circulation pumps support the motor shaft, reduce rotational friction, and allow the pump to maintain consistent flow rates over long service intervals. When a bearing fails, the result is shaft wobble, increased noise, seal wear, and eventual pump failure. Replacing the rear ball bearing restores proper shaft alignment and extends the working life of the pump assembly. This part is installed by qualified HVAC technicians and plumbers during pump rebuilds or scheduled preventive maintenance.

This rear ball bearing is intended for use in TACO Series FE pump assemblies, which are commonly found in residential and light commercial hydronic heating systems. These systems include hot water boiler loops, radiant floor heating distribution systems, and fan coil supply circuits. The bearing is typically replaced during a pump overhaul when audible bearing noise, shaft play, or seal leakage is detected. Accessing the rear bearing requires full disassembly of the pump motor end, making this a bench-service repair rather than an in-place swap.

Key Features

• Direct replacement rear ball bearing for TACO Series FE pump assemblies
• Supports motor shaft alignment and reduces rotational friction under continuous-duty operation
• Restores proper bearing preload to protect shaft seals from premature wear
• OEM-style fit eliminates the need for field modification during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement rear ball bearing for TACO Series FE hydronic circulation pumps.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or plumber with experience in pump servicing. Before disassembly, de-energize the pump at the circuit breaker and isolate it from the hydronic loop using service valves to prevent system drainage. Bearing replacement requires full motor-end disassembly; use appropriate bearing pullers and press tools to remove and seat the bearing without damaging the shaft or housing. Follow all applicable local mechanical codes and the manufacturer service documentation for reassembly torque sequences.
