Our silicon carbide builds are Seal House specifications. Taco does not offer a silicon carbide seat in this kit family.
This kit takes a 1.25 x 1.50 x 2.70 in. shaft sleeve. If your sleeve measures 2.11 in. long, you need the Taco 953-1549-6BRP kit instead — both carry the same 758 seal, and sleeve length is what separates them.
Compatibility
