This base-mounted end suction pump comprises a cast iron casing with center-line discharge and integrally cast mounting feet. The internal assembly incorporates a dynamically balanced bronze impeller keyed to a stainless steel shaft. Protection for the shaft is provided by a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve that utilizes a dry shaft design, preventing fluid contact with the rotating assembly. A ceramic and EPT mechanical seal rated for 250°F manages fluid containment at pressures up to 125 PSI. The pump includes a wear ring within the casing to maintain hydraulic efficiency during operation.
The 15 HP Premium Efficiency ODP motor operates at 3450 RPM with Aegis Grounding on a 380-460V / 3PH power supply, resulting in a DOE PEI of 0.45. 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.
