Title: I need spare pump/ same length
Post by: Jared43758 on December 02, 2015, 06:17:05 PM

I have a nrf-36 and wanting to get a spare pump but not wanting to spend that much money again. I want want with the same exact length so I can easily swap it out if I had to in the middle of the winter. Anyone got any ideas on pumps with the same length or where I can search to find pumps dimensions. And any suggestions on a good cheaper spare.  I'm running the nrf-36 on speed one. 1.3 Amps not sure the flow rate.

Performance-wise, NRF-36 cross references with several other brands of pumps like Taco, Grundfos, and Armstrong.  See the following cross reference table.

Not sure what "length" you are talking about but I assume you mean the length from one flange face to the other?  If so, you can find your NRF-36 dimensions below.

Thanks for the great anwsers.  I saw on freeheat4u.com and pump similar to the B&G I have call a liquidus lpc25-10sfc.  Has a 5 year warranty for $149. Anybody hear anything about this brand. Good or bad reviews?

Spend the money on a Grundfos, have 15 years on my first one and still using it.
