This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features an 8" suction and 6" discharge with ANSI Class 125 flanges. The unit utilizes a 9-1/2" nominal diameter bronze impeller housed within a cast iron casing. The assembly incorporates a stainless steel shaft with a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve and a dry shaft design that prevents circulating fluid from contacting the shaft. The mechanical seal consists of a ceramic seat, carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, with a temperature rating of 250°F. Integrated flush seal line taps and suction and discharge pressure tappings facilitate system monitoring and maintenance.
The pump operates at 1150 RPM and is powered by a 10 HP Baldor TEFC motor in a NEMA 256T frame. It requires a 230-460V, 60Hz, 3PH power supply and meets NEMA MG1-12.55 premium efficiency standards. The motor includes AEGIS shaft grounding for electrical protection. This unit is mounted on a welded base that includes an integral drip pan and an OSHA-compliant coupler guard. A Woods flexible coupler provides the connection between the pump and the motor to accommodate operational loads.
