This base-mounted end suction pump utilizes a cast iron casing with center-line discharge and a bronze impeller. The assembly incorporates a dry shaft design that prevents fluid contact with the stainless steel shaft, which is protected by a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve. A mechanical seal utilizes EPT rubber and a ceramic seat. This construction maintains a 125 PSI rating and operates without a wear ring, while the bearing housing integrates permanently lubricated ball bearings.
Powered by a 5 HP Premium Efficiency TEFC motor at 1750 RPM with Aegis grounding, the unit operates on 380-460V / 3PH power and holds 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.
