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, a bronze impeller with a 13-1/2" nominal diameter, and a bronze wear ring. It utilizes a stainless steel shaft equipped with a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve and a dry shaft design to prevent fluid contact with the shaft. The mechanical seal assembly consists of a ceramic seat, carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, rated for operation up to 250°F. The casing includes pressure tappings on the suction and discharge connections and features flush seal line taps.
The pump is powered by a 15 HP Baldor motor with an ODP enclosure, configured for a 230-460V/60Hz/3PH power supply and 1150 RPM. The motor is a NEMA 284T frame and meets premium efficiency standards per MG1-12.55. Additional features include an AEGIS shaft grounding ring and sealed-for-life bearings with a 60,000-hour L10 life. The pump assembly is mounted on a welded base that incorporates a drip pan and is connected to the motor via a Woods coupler enclosed by an OSHA-compliant coupler guard.
