This close-coupled end suction pump is constructed with a cast iron casing and a bronze impeller. The pump utilizes a dry shaft design that eliminates contact between the fluid and the shaft, protected by a bronze shaft sleeve. A mechanical seal incorporating a ceramic seat half and EPT rubber components maintains fluid containment within the assembly. Rated for 125 PSI without a wear ring, the unit incorporates flush seal line taps and pressure tappings on the suction and discharge connections to monitor internal conditions.
The 15 HP premium efficiency ODP motor operates at 3450 RPM and incorporates Aegis grounding for protection, powered by a 380-460V 3PH electrical supply with a DOE PEI rating of 0.46. 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 1 / IP 21 rating. The drive ships unmounted for customer wall installation without a bracket, harness, or vibration mounts.
