This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features a 6" suction and 5" discharge with ANSI Class 125 flanges. The unit is constructed with a cast iron casing, a 9-1/2" nominal diameter bronze impeller, a stainless steel shaft, and a bronze shaft sleeve. It utilizes a mechanical seal consisting of a ceramic seat, carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, rated for temperatures up to 250 °F. The design incorporates a dry shaft construction to prevent contact between the circulating fluid and the shaft. Pressure tappings are provided on both the suction and discharge connections for monitoring.
The pump operates at 1750 RPM and is powered by a 15 HP Baldor motor with an ODP enclosure and a 254 T frame. It is configured for a 230-460V/60Hz/3PH power supply with an across-the-line starting option. The assembly includes a welded base with an integral drip pan, a standard coupler guard, and a Woods coupler. The motor meets NEMA premium efficiency standards and includes AEGIS shaft grounding. The pump operates at a 40 °C ambient temperature with counter-clockwise rotation and maintains a PEI value of 0.92.
