This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features an 8" suction and a 6" discharge with ANSI Class 125 flanges. The pump is constructed with a cast iron casing, a bronze impeller with a 13-1/2" nominal diameter, and a stainless steel shaft with a bronze shaft sleeve. It utilizes a mechanical seal featuring a ceramic seat, a carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, rated for operation at temperatures up to 250°F. The pump design incorporates a dry shaft construction to prevent fluid contact with the shaft, allowing for seal maintenance without disturbing the system piping.
The pump operates at 1150 RPM and is powered by a 30 HP Baldor motor in a 326 T-frame NEMA motor frame. The motor features an ODP enclosure and premium efficiency that meets MG1-12.55 standards. The electrical configuration supports 230-460V/60Hz/3PH power supply with an across the line starting option. The assembly is mounted on a welded base that includes a drip pan and is configured with a Woods coupler, a standard coupler guard, and AEGIS shaft grounding. This unit is rated for a 40°C ambient temperature environment.
