This close-coupled end suction pump utilizes a cast iron casing and a bronze impeller to move fluid. The assembly incorporates a bronze shaft sleeve and a dry shaft design that prevents contact between the shaft and the circulating fluid. A mechanical seal with a ceramic seat half and EPT rubber maintains integrity within the unit, which holds a 125 PSI pressure rating. Integrated pressure tappings on suction and discharge connections allow for monitoring, while included flush seal line taps provide an attachment point for filtration.
The pump operates with a 5 HP premium efficiency TEFC motor at 1750 RPM, utilizing Aegis grounding and a 200-230V 3PH power supply with a DOE PEI of 0.43. 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 12 / IP 55 rating. The drive ships unmounted for customer wall installation without a bracket, harness, or vibration mounts.
