This base-mounted end suction pump utilizes a cast iron casing with an integrally cast mounting foot and center-line discharge for air venting. The construction incorporates a bronze impeller and a stainless steel shaft covered by a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve. This dry shaft design prevents circulating fluid from contacting the shaft and remains rated for 125 PSI with a wear ring. A ceramic and EPT mechanical seal manages fluid containment at the shaft interface.
The pump operates with a 15 HP premium efficiency ODP motor at 3450 RPM, utilizing Aegis grounding and 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.
