This base-mounted end suction pump is constructed with a cast iron casing and a bronze impeller to facilitate efficient fluid movement. It incorporates a stainless steel shaft paired with a bronze shaft sleeve, utilizing a dry shaft design that maintains a pressure rating of 125 PSI without a wear ring. The assembly employs a mechanical seal with a ceramic seat and EPT rubber to ensure structural integrity and prevent leakage. Designed for consistent hydraulic performance, the pump utilizes integrally cast mounting feet on the casing to provide stability during operation.
Operating at 20 HP, the motor is a premium efficiency unit with a TEFC enclosure, spinning at 3450 RPM and equipped with Aegis grounding, powered by 380-460V / 3PH electrical input, yielding a DOE PEI rating of 0.48. 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.
