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 is constructed with a cast iron casing, an 11" nominal diameter bronze impeller, and a bronze wear ring. The rotating assembly includes a stainless steel shaft, a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve, and a mechanical seal composed of a tungsten carbide seat, carbon rotor, and Viton rubber. The unit is designed to handle clean water at temperatures up to 300°F. The pump uses a dry shaft configuration that prevents contact between the shaft and the circulating fluid.
The pump operates at 1750 RPM and is powered by a 15 HP, TEFC Baldor motor in a 254T NEMA frame. It is configured for 230-460V/60Hz/3PH power supply. The motor includes AEGIS shaft grounding and connects to the pump via a standard Woods coupler. The system is mounted on a welded structural steel base that includes an integral drip pan and an OSHA-compliant coupler guard. This assembly is rated with a PEI of 0.87.
