This base-mounted end suction pump comprises a cast iron casing and a bronze impeller. The design integrates a dry shaft protected by a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve mounted over a stainless steel shaft. A mechanical seal utilizes a ceramic seat half with EPT rubber for fluid containment. This configuration operates at 125 PSI without a wear ring and utilizes pressure tappings on suction and discharge connections for system monitoring.
The pump utilizes a 15 HP premium efficiency ODP motor operating at 1750 RPM with Aegis grounding and 380-460V 3PH power supply, with a DOE PEI rating of 0.44. 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.
