This base-mounted end suction pump comprises a cast iron casing with a bronze impeller and a stainless steel shaft protected by a bronze shaft sleeve. The dry shaft design prevents contact between circulating fluid and the shaft. A mechanical seal integrates a ceramic seat and EPT rubber, sustaining operation at 125 PSI. The unit allows service without disturbing system piping and provides gauge ports at the suction and discharge connections.
The 15 HP premium efficiency TEFC motor operates at 1750 RPM with Aegis grounding on 380-460V / 3PH power, resulting in a DOE PEI rating of 0.47. 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.
