This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features a 6" suction connection and a 5" discharge connection with ANSI Class 125 flanges. The pump is constructed with a cast iron casing and an 11" nominal diameter bronze impeller. It includes a stainless steel shaft, a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve, and a bronze wear ring. The mechanical seal assembly utilizes a ceramic seat, a carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, with a temperature rating of 250°F. The unit incorporates a dry shaft design to prevent contact between the circulating fluid and the shaft. Pressure tappings are located on both the suction and discharge connections.
The pump operates at 1150 RPM and is driven by a 5 HP Baldor motor with an ODP enclosure and a 215T NEMA motor frame. It is configured for 230-460/60/3 PH electrical service using an across-the-line starting option. The motor meets premium efficiency standards per MG1-12.55 and includes an AEGIS shaft grounding ring. The pump is mounted on a welded base that incorporates an integral drip pan and is connected to the motor via a Woods coupler protected by a standard coupler guard. The assembly is rated for a 40°C ambient temperature.
