This base-mounted end suction pump incorporates a cast iron casing with center-line discharge and integrally cast mounting feet. The assembly utilizes a bronze impeller and a stainless steel shaft protected by a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve. Engineered with a dry shaft design, the unit prevents fluid contact with the shaft during operation. The mechanical seal consists of a ceramic seat with EPT rubber components, and the system supports pressures up to 125 PSI while including an integrated wear ring.
The 3 HP Premium Efficiency TEFC motor operates at 1750 RPM and integrates Aegis grounding on a 380-460V / 3PH power supply with a DOE PEI rating of 0.46. The 'S' in the SFI 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 mechanical disconnect without bypass and holds an enclosure NEMA 12 / IP 55 rating. The drive ships unmounted for customer wall installation without a bracket, harness, or vibration mounts.
