This base-mounted end suction pump comprises a cast iron casing with a center-line discharge and a stainless steel impeller. The assembly utilizes a dry shaft design, which prevents circulating fluid from contacting the stainless steel shaft. A bronze shaft sleeve covers the shaft, facilitating maintenance. The internal sealing arrangement incorporates a mechanical seal with a ceramic seat half and EPT rubber. This construction accommodates internal pressures up to 125 PSI in the absence of a wear ring.
The assembly operates with a 10 HP premium efficiency TEFC motor at 3450 RPM, which integrates Aegis grounding on a 200-230V / 3PH power supply, resulting in a DOE PEI rating of 0.47. 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 12 / IP 55 rating. The drive ships unmounted for customer wall installation without a bracket, harness, or vibration mounts.
