This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features a 5" suction and 4" discharge with ANSI Class 125 flanges. The pump includes a cast iron casing and an 11" nominal diameter bronze impeller with a bronze wear ring. The assembly uses a stainless steel shaft and shaft sleeve with a dry shaft design to prevent contact with the circulating fluid. The mechanical seal consists of a tungsten carbide seat, carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, and it is rated for 300°F clean water service. Pressure tappings are provided on the suction and discharge connections to facilitate gauge installation.
This pump operates at 1750 RPM and uses a 30 HP Baldor motor with an ODP enclosure. The motor is a NEMA 286T frame with a 230-460/60/3 PH power supply and supports across the line starting. The assembly is mounted on a welded base with an integral drip pan, a Woods coupler, and an OSHA-compliant coupler guard. This configuration meets premium efficiency standards, includes AEGIS shaft grounding, and maintains a PEI of 0.97. The unit is rated for 40°C ambient operation.
