This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features an 8" suction and a 6" discharge with ANSI Class 125 flanges. The unit includes a 9-1/2" nominal diameter bronze impeller and a bronze wear ring housed in a cast iron casing. It uses a stainless steel shaft with a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve. The mechanical seal assembly consists of a ceramic seat, carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, rated for temperatures up to 250°F. The design incorporates a dry shaft and pressure tappings on the suction and discharge connections.
The pump operates at 1150 RPM and uses a 10 HP WEG motor in a NEMA 256T frame. The motor features a TEFC enclosure and operates on a 230-460/60/3 power supply, meeting premium efficiency standards per MG1-12.55. The pump includes AEGIS shaft grounding and is mounted on a welded base with an integrated drip pan. A Woods coupler joins the pump and motor, shielded by an OSHA-compliant coupler guard. The system supports across-the-line starting and functions within a 40°C ambient temperature range.
