This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features a 3" suction and a 2-1/2" discharge with ANSI Class 125 flanges. The pump construction includes a cast iron casing, a 9-1/2" nominal diameter bronze impeller, a stainless steel shaft, and a bronze shaft sleeve. It utilizes a mechanical seal with a silicon-carbide seat, a carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, rated for temperatures up to 250°F. This unit employs a dry shaft design to prevent the circulating fluid from contacting the shaft and is built without a wear ring.
The pump operates at 1750 RPM on a 60Hz power supply and is configured with a NEMA 213T motor frame. The assembly is mounted on a welded base that includes an integrated drip pan. The drive train connects the pump and motor using a Woods coupler, which is enclosed by an OSHA-compliant coupler guard. This model maintains a PEI value of 0.88.
