This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features a cast iron casing with 8" suction and 6" discharge ports. The unit incorporates a 13-1/2" nominal diameter bronze impeller and a stainless steel shaft with a bronze shaft sleeve. The mechanical seal consists of a ceramic seat, a carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, and is rated for temperatures up to 250°F. This assembly utilizes ANSI Class 125 flanges and does not include a wear ring. The pump design uses a dry shaft configuration to prevent contact between the circulating fluid and the shaft.
This pump operates at 1750 RPM and is powered by a 75 HP Baldor ODP motor in a NEMA 365 T-frame. The motor is rated for 230-460V/60Hz/3PH operation and features across-the-line starting. The system meets premium efficiency standards, includes AEGIS shaft grounding, and has a DOE PEI of 0.93. Mounting is provided by a welded structural steel base that includes a drip pan, a standard coupler guard, and a Woods standard coupler. The assembly utilizes greasable bearings within the bearing frame and maintains a 40°C ambient temperature rating.
