The Taco Connection
Combine the reliability of the Taco
Zone Valves, Priority Zoning Circulators,
Thermostats, and the 00
®
family of
circulators with the advanced features
of the Taco Zone Controls to achieve
total system integration. No matter
the application, Taco now provides
the products to maximize system
performance while simplifying both
installation and service.
External Diagnostics
It’s no longer necessary to remove the
box cover to troubleshoot the system.
External visible indicator lights show full
functionality of all products wired to the
zone valve controls. When the thermostat
calls for heat, both the appropriate zone
valve and yellow indicator lights are
energized. When the zone valve is fully
opened, the end switch relay and red
indicator light is then energized.
Zone Valve Controls
Taco Zone Valve Controls work with two-, three-, or four-wire zone valves. Fully fuse
protected, they also include two isolated end switches and built-in priority protection.
The contractor friendly PC board layout eliminates the problems caused by incorrect wiring
and the “unfinished” look of conventional zone valve installations. The sturdy screw connections
add additional reliability, while the external indicator lights provide instant diagnostic feedback,
reducing installation time. All Taco Zone Valve Controls are UL listed and carry an extended
3 year warranty.
Taco Expandable Zone Valve Controls
Whether you want to expand up to 120 zones or utilize the advanced features of the Add-on
Power Controls, Taco -EXP controls allow for simple integration of advanced features. Built-in
Post Purge and Pump Exercise functions can optimize the operation of any system.
