This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features a 6" suction and a 5" discharge with ANSI Class 250 flanges. The assembly includes a 9-1/2" nominal diameter bronze impeller and a cast iron casing with a bronze wear ring. It uses a stainless steel shaft and shaft sleeve with a dry shaft design to prevent contact between the shaft and the circulating fluid. The unit is configured with a mechanical seal consisting of a ceramic seat, carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, rated for operation up to 250°F. The bearing housing contains permanently lubricated sealed-for-life bearings.
The pump operates at 1450 RPM and is driven by a 7.5 kw Marathon motor with an IE3 efficiency rating. The motor is housed in a TEFC enclosure with IP55 protection, Class F insulation, and Class B rise. Power input is 415V/50Hz/3PH with a WYE Delta starting option and terminal block connection. This pump uses a B3 foot-mounted IEC 132M motor frame and includes a welded base with an integral drip pan. A Woods coupler connects the pump and motor, protected by a standard coupler guard.
