This base-mounted end suction pump incorporates a cast iron casing with integrally cast mounting feet and a bronze impeller. The pump utilizes a dry shaft design that isolates the stainless steel shaft from circulating fluid, protected by a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve. Rated for 125 PSI operation, the assembly integrates a wear ring and flush seal line taps. A mechanical seal, constructed with a ceramic seat and EPT rubber, provides containment during operation. Pressure tappings on suction and discharge connections allow for standard system monitoring.
The assembly utilizes a 15 HP premium efficiency TEFC motor operating at 3450 RPM, equipped with Aegis grounding and powered by 200-230V, 3PH power, with a DOE PEI of 0.45. The 'S' in the SFI 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.
