This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features a 5" suction and a 4" discharge with ANSI Class 125 flanges. The pump is constructed with a cast iron casing and a 13-1/2" nominal diameter bronze impeller. It utilizes a stainless steel shaft paired with a bronze shaft sleeve to protect against fluid contact. The mechanical seal assembly consists of a ceramic seat, a carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, rated for operation at temperatures up to 250 °F. Pressure tappings are provided at the suction and discharge connections to facilitate system monitoring.
The pump operates at 1150 RPM and is driven by a 15 HP, 230-460V, 60Hz, 3PH Baldor motor in an ODP enclosure. The motor is configured with a 284T frame and meets premium efficiency standards per NEMA MG1-12.55. This unit features AEGIS shaft grounding and is mounted on a welded structural steel base equipped with an integral drip pan. Connection between the pump and motor is achieved through a Woods coupler, which is enclosed by an OSHA-compliant coupler guard. The system is configured for across-the-line starting.
