Compatibility

The Taco 951-3161BRP seal kit fits a 1-1/8″ (1.125″) shaft on Taco CE, FE and VI series pumps. These series vary by model and generation — enter your full pump model under Pump Model Number Notes at checkout so we can verify the correct kit.

Why choose this kit:

Precision fitment: Crimped-head seal with a custom-matched spring-to-sleeve design for consistent working length and reliable sealing—often a tighter, more accurate fit than generic aftermarket kits.
Hydronic-ready: Built for the thermal cycling and operating conditions common in HVAC systems.
All-in-one convenience: Includes the seal and supporting components needed for a clean, efficient rebuild.
