This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features a 5" suction and a 4" discharge with ANSI Class 125 flanges. The unit is constructed with a cast iron casing, a 9-1/2" nominal diameter bronze impeller, a stainless steel shaft, and a bronze shaft sleeve. The pump utilizes a dry shaft design to prevent fluid contact with the shaft. It includes a mechanical seal with a ceramic seat, carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, rated for temperatures up to 250 °F. Pressure tappings are provided on the suction and discharge connections to facilitate system monitoring.
This pump is powered by a 5 HP Baldor motor with an ODP enclosure, configured for 230-460/60/3PH power supply at 1150 RPM. The motor is a NEMA T-frame size 215. The motor is a premium efficiency model that meets MG1-12.55 standards and includes AEGIS shaft grounding. The assembly is mounted on a welded base with an integral drip pan and an OSHA-compliant coupler guard. A Woods coupler connects the pump to the motor for across-the-line starting.
