This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump is a single-stage centrifugal unit with a 6" suction and 5" discharge. The pump features a cast iron casing with ANSI Class 125 flanges and an 11" nominal impeller diameter constructed of bronze. It uses a dry shaft design with a stainless steel shaft protected by a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve. The mechanical seal consists of a ceramic seat, a carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, rated for operating temperatures up to 250°F. The casing includes pressure tappings on the suction and discharge connections for monitoring system performance.
This pump operates at 1150 RPM and is powered by a 10 HP ODP motor in a 256 T-frame. It is configured for 230-460/60/3 power and features AEGIS shaft grounding. The assembly is mounted on a welded structural steel base that includes an integral drip pan and a Woods coupler with a standard guard. The motor meets NEMA premium efficiency standards per MG1-12.55. The bearing housing uses permanently lubricated sealed-for-life ball bearings, and the configuration allows for maintenance of the seal and shaft sleeve without disturbing the connected piping.
