This base-mounted end suction pump integrates a cast iron casing with a center-line discharge for efficient air venting. It utilizes a bronze impeller hydraulically balanced and keyed to a stainless steel shaft, which is protected by a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve. The dry shaft design prevents contact between the circulating fluid and the shaft, maintaining structural integrity up to 125 PSI. This assembly incorporates a mechanical seal constructed with a ceramic seat half and EPT rubber.
The 15 HP premium efficiency TEFC motor operates at 1750 RPM and includes Aegis grounding for protection against electrical discharge, utilizing a 380-460V / 3PH power supply with a DOE PEI 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.
