This close-coupled end suction pump is constructed with a cast iron casing and a bronze impeller to facilitate water transfer in cooling, heating, and pressure boosting applications. The design incorporates a bronze shaft sleeve and utilizes a dry shaft mechanical seal with a ceramic seat half and EPT rubber components, maintaining operational integrity up to 125 PSI. Flush seal line taps allow for the installation of a filter to protect the seal from particles, while pressure tappings on the suction and discharge connections permit system monitoring. This pump assembly uses an end suction configuration to assist with maintenance and installation within diverse hydronic systems.
The 15 HP premium efficiency ODP motor operates at 3450 RPM and integrates Aegis grounding, powered by 380-460V 3PH electrical input, yielding a DOE PEI rating of 0.45. 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 1 / IP 21 rating. The drive ships unmounted for customer wall installation without a bracket, harness, or vibration mounts.
