This end suction pump integrates a cast iron casing with a bronze impeller and a stainless steel shaft. It incorporates a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve and a dry shaft design that protects the shaft from contact with circulating fluids. The assembly utilizes a mechanical seal with a ceramic seat and EPT rubber, rated for 125 PSI operation. This centrifugal pump design includes a centerline discharge configuration to assist with positive air venting.
The assembly utilizes a 15 HP premium efficiency ODP motor, operating at 3450 RPM, equipped with Aegis grounding and powered by a 200-230V, 3PH supply, with a DOE PEI rating of 0.45. 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.
