This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features an 8" suction and a 6" discharge with ANSI Class 125 flanges. The pump is constructed with a cast iron casing and a 13-1/2" nominal diameter bronze impeller. It incorporates a stainless steel shaft with a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve and a dry shaft design that prevents the circulating fluid from contacting the shaft. The mechanical seal consists of a ceramic seat, carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, rated for operation in temperatures up to 250°F. The unit includes flush seal line taps and pressure tappings on the suction and discharge connections for monitoring.
The pump operates at 1150 RPM and is powered by a 25 HP, 230-460V/60Hz/3PH WEG motor in an ODP enclosure. The motor is a NEMA T-frame style, frame size 324, and meets MG1-12.55 premium efficiency standards. The assembly includes AEGIS shaft grounding and utilizes a Woods coupler. Mounting is provided by a welded base that includes a drip pan and a standard coupler guard. This configuration uses across the line starting, operates at a 40°C ambient temperature, and features counter-clockwise rotation.
