This base-mounted end suction pump comprises a cast iron casing with integrally cast mounting feet and a center-line discharge for air venting. The unit integrates a hydraulically balanced stainless steel NSF61 impeller and a stainless steel shaft, protected by a dry shaft design that prevents contact with circulating fluid. A bronze shaft sleeve is included to facilitate maintenance, alongside a mechanical seal consisting of a ceramic seat and EPT rubber. This assembly maintains a 125 PSI pressure rating. Pressure tappings are located on both the suction and discharge connections for monitoring system performance.
The pump utilizes a 3 HP premium efficiency TEFC motor operating at 1750 RPM with Aegis shaft grounding, receiving power via a 380-460V 3PH supply. The 'S' in the SCI series denotes Taco's advanced Self-Sensing technology, which eliminates remote sensors and field wiring by using internal mathematical algorithms to calculate system resistance and automate variable flow. The included VFD is configured with a fused disconnect without bypass and holds an enclosure NEMA 12 / IP 55 rating. The drive ships unmounted for customer wall installation without a bracket, harness, or vibration mounts.
