This base-mounted end suction pump comprises a cast iron casing with center-line discharge and an integrally cast bronze impeller. The assembly utilizes a dry shaft design that prevents circulating fluid from contacting the stainless steel shaft, which is protected by a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve. A ceramic and EPT mechanical seal regulates fluid containment. The pump operates at a pressure rating of 125 PSI without a wear ring.
The 3 HP premium efficiency TEFC motor rotates at 1750 RPM, integrates Aegis grounding, and operates on 200-230V 3PH power with a DOE PEI rating of 0.46. 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 1 / IP 21 rating. The drive ships unmounted for customer wall installation without a bracket, harness, or vibration mounts.
