This base-mounted end suction pump integrates a cast iron casing with a stainless steel impeller and a stainless steel shaft protected by a bronze shaft sleeve. The assembly utilizes a mechanical seal constructed with silicon-carbide seat halves and EPT rubber, providing a 125 PSI pressure rating. An internal wear ring maintains pump performance, while the volute casing includes integrated mounting feet and supports a dry shaft design that isolates the shaft from the circulating fluid to minimize corrosion.
The pump utilizes a 15 HP premium efficiency TEFC motor operating at 1750 RPM, integrated with Aegis grounding and powered by a 380-460V 3PH supply, achieving a DOE PEI rating of 0.46. 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.
