This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features a 3" suction and a 2-1/2" discharge. It is constructed with a cast iron casing, a 9-1/2" bronze impeller, and a stainless steel shaft with a bronze shaft sleeve. The pump utilizes a mechanical seal consisting of a ceramic seat, carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, suitable for fluid temperatures up to 250°F. The unit includes ANSI Class 125 flanges and operates without a wear ring. The assembly incorporates a dry shaft design to prevent contact between the circulating fluid and the shaft.
This pump operates at 1750 RPM and is powered by a 5 HP ODP motor in a NEMA 184T frame. The WEG motor is configured for 230-460/60/3 power with an across-the-line starting option. It features AEGIS shaft grounding and meets NEMA MG1-12.55 premium efficiency standards with a PEI of 0.88. The pump assembly is mounted on a welded base that includes a drip pan and an OSHA-compliant coupler guard, utilizing a Woods coupler to connect the pump and motor.
