DESCRIPTION
Taco 953-1549-6BRP Seal Kit — Type E Mechanical Seal Set (6BRP)
The Taco 953-1549-6BRP seal kit is a direct-fit replacement for select Taco centrifugal pumps using the Type E / E-Design mechanical seal arrangement.

Which kit do I need?
Most HVAC and hydronic circulation systems take the Standard Kit. Step up to an Upgrade Kit if your system runs hotter, carries glycol or chemicals, or handles gritty water.
Kit Max °F Choose This If Standard – Carbon/Ceramic/Nitrile 200°F Clean water at neutral pH — ordinary HVAC and hydronic circulation. This is the standard build. Upgrade – Carbon/Ceramic/Viton 450°F Your system runs hot, or carries glycol, bleach or other chemicals that break down standard Nitrile. Upgrade – Silicon Carbide/Viton 450°F Gritty or dirty water, wastewater and slurry, or any duty where seals keep wearing out early. Hardest faces we offer. Still not sure? Text a photo of your pump nameplate to 561-414-1046 and tell us what the system runs — we’ll tell you which build to order. No purchase required.
