My seat of the pants guess would be to purchase 1/6 HP, 35 GPM flow, and 35 head feet pressure. Grundfos UP26-99F looks close.

++From your guess, I would guess that your house is three stories and you are trying to get the water up to the third level. It is a common mis guidance.

Here is the way to figure out pump head requirements: Read 'Select a circulator' at:
http://www.heatpro.us/
Under the 'Designing a Series Circuit' listing.

Most radiant systems are designed for ordinary residential circulators; high head pumps are a disaster-in-waiting. Read the Pumping away section also.
