This base-mounted end suction pump utilizes a cast iron casing with a center-line discharge and integrates a dynamically balanced bronze impeller. The assembly incorporates a dry shaft design that prevents contact between circulating fluids and the stainless steel shaft, which is covered by a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve. For fluid containment, the pump utilizes a mechanical seal comprised of a silicon-carbide seat and EPT rubber, engineered to handle operational pressures up to 125 PSI. Integrally cast mounting feet on the casing support the structure, while the design allows for maintenance without disturbing system piping.
The assembly utilizes a 1.5 HP Premium Efficiency TEFC motor operating at 1750 RPM with Aegis shaft grounding, powered by a 380-460V / 3PH supply, achieving 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.
