This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features a cast iron casing with a 3" suction and a 2-1/2" discharge. The unit is constructed with a bronze impeller measuring 11" in nominal diameter and a stainless steel shaft with a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve. This 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. The casing is equipped with ANSI Class 125 flanges and provides gauge ports for pressure monitoring on both suction and discharge connections.
The pump operates at 1150 RPM and is powered by a 5 HP Baldor motor with an ODP enclosure and a 215 T-frame. The electrical configuration is 230-460V/60Hz/3PH. The assembly includes AEGIS shaft grounding and is mounted on a welded base with an integral drip pan. A Woods coupler connects the pump to the motor, protected by an OSHA-compliant coupler guard. The motor meets NEMA MG1-12.55 premium efficiency standards and is rated for a 40°C ambient environment.
