This base-mounted end suction pump is constructed with a cast iron casing and a bronze impeller. The assembly utilizes a stainless steel shaft integrated with a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve and a dry shaft design that prevents circulating fluid from contacting the shaft. Mechanical sealing comprises a ceramic seat and EPT rubber, supporting operation at pressures up to 125 PSI. This design allows for service of the mechanical seal and internal components without disturbing the system piping.
A 15 HP Premium Efficiency TEFC motor operating at 1750 RPM incorporates Aegis Grounding and utilizes 380-460V / 3PH power with a DOE PEI of 0.46. The 'S' in the SFI 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 1 / IP 21 rating. The drive ships unmounted for customer wall installation without a bracket, harness, or vibration mounts.
