This base-mounted end suction pump integrates a cast iron casing with integrally cast mounting feet and a bronze impeller. The assembly utilizes a dry shaft design that prevents contact between the circulating fluid and the stainless steel shaft, which is protected by a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve. For fluid containment, a mechanical seal consisting of ceramic seat halves and EPT rubber components maintains operation at pressures up to 125 PSI.
The 15 HP premium efficiency TEFC motor operates at 1750 RPM and incorporates Aegis grounding, powered by a 380-460V / 3PH supply, achieving a DOE PEI rating of 0.47. 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 an electro-mech bypass and holds an enclosure NEMA 1 / IP 21 rating. The drive ships unmounted for customer wall installation without a bracket, harness, or vibration mounts.
