This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features a cast iron casing with 4" suction and 3" discharge connections, designed with ANSI Class 125 flanges. It utilizes an 11" nominal diameter bronze impeller and a stainless steel shaft equipped with a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve. The pump incorporates a mechanical seal assembly consisting of a ceramic seat, carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, capable of operating at temperatures up to 250 °F. The dry shaft design prevents contact between the shaft and the circulating fluid. The unit includes pressure tappings on both the suction and discharge connections for monitoring system performance.
The pump is powered by a 15 HP, 1750 RPM WEG ODP motor in a NEMA 254 T-frame enclosure. It operates on a 230-460V, 60Hz, 3PH power supply and utilizes across the line starting. The assembly is mounted on a welded structural steel base that includes an integral drip pan and an OSHA-compliant coupler guard. This configuration meets MG1-12.55 premium efficiency standards and includes an AEGIS shaft grounding ring. The overall pump performance reflects a DOE PEI rating of 0.92.
