This base-mounted end suction pump comprises a cast iron casing with a center-line discharge and a bronze impeller. The assembly utilizes a stainless steel shaft covered by a bronze shaft sleeve to isolate the shaft from the circulating fluid. It incorporates a dry shaft design and a mechanical seal composed of ceramic and EPT materials, which supports a pressure rating of 125 PSI. The bearing housing maintains heavy-duty, permanently lubricated sealed-for-life ball bearings.
The 5 HP premium efficiency TEFC motor operates at 1750 RPM, utilizes Aegis grounding, and receives power via 380-460V / 3PH electricity, yielding a DOE PEI 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.
