This base-mounted end suction pump incorporates a cast iron casing with a bronze impeller and a stainless steel shaft protected by a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve. The dry shaft construction eliminates fluid contact with the shaft, while a ceramic seat and EPT rubber mechanical seal maintain system integrity at pressures up to 125 PSI. The design includes suction and discharge gauge ports to facilitate system monitoring and allows for servicing the internal components without disturbing the system piping.
The 3 HP Premium Efficiency TEFC motor operates at 1750 RPM with Aegis grounding and utilizes a 380-460V / 3PH power supply, resulting in a DOE PEI rating of 0.44. 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 mechanical 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.
