We wanted to let everyone know that Taco is migrating their product tags from NFC technology to QR codes to make your life a little easier. This enhancement is going to be a great assist and time saver for everyone allowing you to access information you need, on the job site.

The new tag technology will allow you to easily access important product information by simply scanning the QR code with your mobile device. The transition will be a seamless experience for you.

How Does It Work?

The new tags are designed to provide you and your customers with vital product information. A quick scan will now bring all relevant details directly to your fingertips—no setup required!

When you scan the QR code, you’ll be linked to eLink®, Taco’s cloud-based service. This platform provides comprehensive, product-specific information, including:

• Order Information
• Product Specs
• Instruction Sheets
• Replacement Parts
• CAD/REVIT Files
• Technical Support
• Catalogs

• Sales Representative Information

The new QR Code accessibility with Taco products will begin in October 2024. Rest assured, existing Taco Tags utilizing NFC technology will continue to be supported, so you can still access information as before.

Taco Comfort Solutions is one of our top-selling brands and we are excited that they continue to make changes that make life easier for all of us – distributors, mechanical contractors, engineers, and end user customers.

Restaurants rely on higher pressure water. It’s critical for food preparation as well as cleaning and sanitizing restaurant equipment, utensils, and tableware.

Therefore, domestic booster pump systems play an extremely important role in the day-to-day operations of a restaurant, especially a large restaurant, serving large numbers of people.

To help a new restaurant in Oak Brook, IL, Piccolo Buco, we were contacted by BTR Engineering looking for help specifying a booster pump system. This project was a challenge because the basement area and floor space were extremely limited. However, we love challenges!

We put our heads together and came up with the perfect solution – an inline domestic booster pump system that could be mounted in the ceiling.

To meet their tight space requirements, BTR Engineering specified the Taco Vertical Inline KV Pump as the ideal solution.

We recommended the KV Series Vertical Inline Pumps because they require no isolation pads and their simple, in-line design can save the customer money / energy. The controls are self-contained in the variable frequency drive which is wall mounted at eye level.

Once the specifications were approved, we supplied the equipment for the Plumbing Contractor to install the pump system near the ceiling.

BTR Engineering was pleased to have a unique workable solution for their client. Management at Piccolo Buco was also happy with the solution, and allowed us to come in and take photos of the successful, ceiling installation.

If you are an engineer or engineering firm looking for solutions and specifications for unique client plumbing or HVAC challenges, give us a call. We have an enviable amount of experience in the industry and are happy to share our expertise.
