This base-mounted end suction pump incorporates a class 30 cast iron casing with center-line discharge for air venting. The assembly utilizes a bronze impeller that is hydraulically balanced and fitted to a stainless steel shaft. A dry shaft design protects the shaft from contact with circulating fluid, while a bronze shaft sleeve provides additional support. The mechanical seal consists of an EPT rubber component and a ceramic seat, rated for a maximum pressure of 125 PSI. This construction allows for servicing of internal components without disconnecting system piping.
The 5 HP premium efficiency ODP motor operates at 1750 RPM, incorporates Aegis grounding, and utilizes a 380-460V 3PH power supply. The assembly holds a DOE PEI rating 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 Type 1 / IP 21 rating. The drive ships unmounted for customer wall installation without a bracket, harness, or vibration mounts.
