This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features a 2-1/2" suction and a 2" discharge with ANSI Class 125 flanges. It includes a 9-1/2" nominal impeller diameter constructed of bronze, a cast iron casing, and a stainless steel shaft with a bronze shaft sleeve. The pump uses a dry shaft design and is equipped with a mechanical seal consisting of a silicon-carbide seat, carbon rotor, and EPT rubber. The unit is rated for clean water service at temperatures up to 250°F. The bearing frame incorporates greasable bearings and includes pressure tappings on both the suction and discharge connections for monitoring hydraulic performance.
This pump is powered by a 7-1/2 HP WEG motor with an ODP enclosure and a 213T NEMA frame. The system operates at 1750 RPM on a 230-460/60/3 power supply, utilizing an across-the-line starting option. The motor meets MG1-12.55 premium efficiency standards and includes AEGIS shaft grounding. The pump assembly is mounted on a welded base with an integral drip pan, a Woods coupler, and an OSHA-compliant coupler guard. This configuration results in a DOE PEI of 0.86.
