This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features a 3" suction and 2-1/2" discharge with ANSI Class 125 flanges. The pump includes a cast iron casing, a 9-1/2" bronze impeller, and a stainless steel shaft with a bronze shaft sleeve. It utilizes a mechanical seal constructed with a silicon-carbide seat, carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, rated for operation up to 250°F in clean water applications. A bronze wear ring is included within the casing. The dry shaft design prevents contact between the circulating fluid and the shaft, and pressure tappings are provided on both the suction and discharge connections.
The pump operates at 1150 RPM and is powered by a 1 HP Baldor motor with an ODP enclosure and a NEMA 145 T-frame. The electrical configuration supports 230-460V/60Hz/3PH power with across the line starting. The motor meets NEMA Premium Efficiency standards per MG1-12.55 and includes AEGIS shaft grounding. The assembly is mounted on a welded base that incorporates a drip pan and is equipped with an OSHA-compliant coupler guard and a Woods flexible coupler. The bearing frame features greasable bearings designed for a 40°C ambient environment.
