Taco 265-1 Timer for 00 Series Pumps
The Taco 265-1 timer controls compatible 00 Series in-line circulating pumps in residential or light commercial hydronic systems. It suits installers who need automated on-off cycling without a building-management system. The steel-cased unit mounts near the pump and wires directly into the circuit. Buyers needing multi-zone scheduling or digital programming should look elsewhere.
Installation notes and common issues
Wiring follows the pump's own terminal layout, so a qualified technician can connect it in minutes using standard tools. The 4 in by 2.6 in steel housing fits tight mechanical rooms without special brackets. The most frequent error is reversing the line and load leads, which prevents the 15 min interval cycle from starting. Verify the pump model matches the 003-BC4-PNP, 006-B4-14, 006-BC8Y or 006-ST4-1 listings before powering up.
Ten-setting capacity and its limits
Ten selectable settings let the timer tailor run periods to the load, while the fixed 15 min off-on interval repeats reliably for routine circulation. It handles the listed 00 Series pumps without contactor chatter. The timer does not support variable intervals, holiday modes or external sensor inputs, so systems requiring adaptive logic will outgrow this device.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the Taco 265-1 timer is running correctly after wiring it to my 00 series pump?
Set one of the 10 available settings and watch the pump cycle on and off at the 15 minute interval; the steel timer housing should click audibly as the contacts switch.
What comes with the Taco 265-1 timer and what must I supply separately?
The steel timer unit itself is included; you must provide a compatible 00 series in-line circulating pump such as models 003-BC4-PNP, 006-B4-14, 006-BC8Y or 006-ST4-1 and the wiring to connect them.
Which timer setting should I choose for a Taco 006-BC8Y pump?
Any of the 10 settings works with the 006-BC8Y because the timer is built for the whole 00 series; select the on/off pattern that matches your circulation schedule.
