This base-mounted end suction pump comprises a cast iron casing with center-line discharge and integrally cast mounting feet. The assembly integrates a bronze impeller and a stainless steel shaft equipped with a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve, utilizing a dry shaft design that prevents fluid contact with the shaft. A mechanical seal with a ceramic seat and EPT rubber components facilitates fluid containment. The bearing housing incorporates permanently lubricated sealed-for-life ball bearings to maintain operational longevity and allows for field service without disturbing system piping.
The motor provides 25 HP, utilizes a Premium Efficiency design with an ODP (Mot) enclosure, operates at 1750 RPM, includes Aegis grounding, and functions with 380-460V / 3PH power, resulting in a DOE PEI rating of 0.48. 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.
