This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump is a single-stage, centrifugal unit featuring a 5" suction port and a 4" discharge port with ANSI Class 125 flanges. The pump is constructed with a cast iron casing, a bronze impeller with a 9-1/2" nominal diameter, and a stainless steel shaft. It utilizes a dry shaft design with a bronze shaft sleeve to isolate the shaft from the circulating fluid. The mechanical seal is configured with a silicon-carbide seat, a carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, with a temperature rating of 250°F. The unit is intended for clean water applications and includes pressure tappings on both the suction and discharge connections for monitoring.
This pump operates at 1150 RPM and is powered by a 5 HP Baldor motor with an ODP enclosure, configured in a 215 NEMA frame with a T-frame style. The motor meets NEMA premium efficiency standards per MG1-12.55 and includes an AEGIS shaft grounding device. The power supply requirement is 230-460/60/3PH with an across-the-line starting option. The pump assembly is mounted on a welded base that includes an integral drip pan and an OSHA-compliant coupler guard. A Woods coupler connects the pump to the motor, and the system is rated for a 40°C ambient temperature.
