This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features a 4" suction and 3" discharge with ANSI Class 125 flanges. The pump assembly consists of a cast iron casing and a 7-1/4" nominal diameter bronze impeller. It is configured with a stainless steel shaft, a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve, and a dry shaft design to prevent fluid contact. The mechanical seal utilizes a silicon-carbide seat, carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, rated for temperatures up to 250°F. The unit includes a bronze wear ring and integrated pressure tappings on the suction and discharge connections for system monitoring.
The pump operates at 3450 RPM and is driven by a 30 HP, 230-460V, 3PH motor with an ODP enclosure and NEMA 284TS frame. The motor meets premium efficiency standards and includes AEGIS shaft grounding. The assembly uses a Woods coupler protected by an OSHA-compliant coupler guard, mounted on a welded base that includes an integral drip pan. The system is designed for clean water applications and carries a PEI rating of 0.91. The bearing frame uses permanently lubricated, sealed-for-life ball bearings.
