This base-mounted end suction pump comprises a cast iron casing with center-line discharge for positive air venting and a bronze impeller. It incorporates a dry shaft design that prevents the circulating fluid from contacting the stainless steel shaft, which is covered by a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve. The mechanical seal utilizes a ceramic seat and EPT rubber components to provide a seal rated for 125 PSI without the use of a wear ring. The assembly is engineered for durability, and the casing includes integrated mounting feet to support the pump within the system.
The pump utilizes a 20 HP Premium Efficiency ODP motor operating at 1750 RPM, integrated with Aegis grounding and powered by a 380-460V 3PH electrical supply, resulting in a DOE PEI rating of 0.46. 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 1 / IP 21 rating. The drive ships unmounted for customer wall installation without a bracket, harness, or vibration mounts.
