This base-mounted end suction pump utilizes a cast iron casing with a bronze impeller and a stainless steel shaft. It incorporates a bronze shaft sleeve to protect the shaft within the dry shaft design. The mechanical seal assembly comprises a silicon-carbide seat half paired with EPT rubber components to manage system pressure up to 125 PSI. This configuration prevents fluid contact with the shaft during operation.
The assembly is powered by a 1.5 HP premium efficiency TEFC motor operating at 1750 RPM, which includes Aegis grounding and a 380-460V / 3PH power supply, resulting in a DOE PEI rating of 0.44. 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.
