Armstrong COMPASS 20 circulating pump
The Armstrong COMPASS 20 is a cast-iron hot-water circulating pump rated at 1/17 hp for 115 V single-phase supply. It serves closed-loop hydronic systems in residential and light-commercial installations.
Flanged 1-inch connections
The pump uses 1-inch flanged inlet and outlet with a 6-1/2-inch face-to-face dimension, allowing direct replacement in existing flanged piping without unions. Cast-iron housing resists corrosion in closed-loop water circuits.
Direct-drive motor with no flange kit supplied
A direct-drive motor eliminates coupling maintenance, while the best-efficiency point of 10 gpm at 10 ft head matches typical zone-flow requirements. Flanges and unions are not included, so installers must supply or reuse them.

What are the flange dimensions and face-to-face length for mounting this pump?
It uses 1-inch flange connections with a 6 1/2-inch face-to-face dimension, requiring matching flanges on the pipework.
How is the COMPASS 20 installed in a closed loop, and what step is often missed?
Mount the pump with the motor horizontal on the return line, install flanges (not included), and ensure the flow arrow matches system direction.
