This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features an 8" suction and a 6" discharge with ANSI Class 125 flanges. It utilizes a 9-1/2" nominal diameter bronze impeller and a bronze wear ring. The pump includes a cast iron casing, a stainless steel shaft, and a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve. The design incorporates a dry shaft construction to prevent contact between the circulating fluid and the shaft. The mechanical seal consists of a ceramic seat, carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, rated for temperatures up to 250 °F. The unit is fitted with greasable bearings and pressure tappings on the suction and discharge connections.
The pump operates at 1150 RPM and is powered by a 15 HP motor. The motor is a Baldor NEMA 284 T frame style, featuring an ODP enclosure and premium efficiency that meets MG1-12.55 standards. This unit is configured for a 230-460/60/3 power supply and includes AEGIS shaft grounding. The assembly is mounted on a welded base that incorporates an integral drip pan. A standard Woods flexible coupler connects the pump to the motor, protected by an OSHA-compliant coupler guard.
