This base-mounted end suction pump utilizes a cast iron casing construction with integrally cast mounting feet. The hydraulic assembly integrates a bronze impeller, a bronze shaft sleeve, and a stainless steel shaft. A dry shaft design prevents contact between the shaft and the circulating fluid. The mechanical seal assembly comprises ceramic faces and EPT rubber, rated for 125 PSI operation. Pressure tappings on the suction and discharge connections allow for gauge installation, while the casing supports positive air venting through its centerline discharge orientation.
The 15 HP premium efficiency TEFC motor operates at 3450 RPM and incorporates Aegis grounding, powered by 380-460V / 3PH supply with a DOE PEI rating 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.
