This Taco CI Series close coupled end suction pump features a 2-1/2" suction and a 2" discharge with ANSI Class 125 flanges. It is constructed with a cast iron casing and cover, a stainless steel (NSF61) impeller, and a 7-1/4" nominal impeller diameter. The pump uses a bronze shaft sleeve and a dry shaft design to prevent contact between the shaft and circulating fluid. A mechanical seal consisting of a ceramic seat, carbon rotor, and EPT rubber is rated for temperatures up to 250°F. The unit does not include a wear ring and features flush seal line taps and pressure tappings on the suction and discharge connections.
The pump operates at 1750 RPM and is powered by a 3 HP WEG premium motor with an Aegis shaft grounding system. The motor features a TEFC enclosure and is configured for 230/460V, 3PH, 60Hz power with an across the line starting option. It uses a 182 JM motor frame with feet for mounting. The assembly meets NEMA standards and has a PEI of 0.86. The rear pullout design permits servicing of the pump components without disturbing the system piping, while the top center line discharge configuration supports self-venting.
