This base-mounted end suction pump is constructed with a class 30 cast iron casing and a bronze impeller. The dry shaft design utilizes a stainless steel shaft paired with a bronze shaft sleeve to isolate the shaft from the circulating fluid. Sealing is maintained by a mechanical seal comprised of a ceramic seat and EPT rubber, rated for 125 PSI.
The 15 HP premium efficiency TEFC motor operates at 1750 RPM and incorporates Aegis grounding for protection, powered by a 200-230V / 3PH electrical 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 12 / IP 55 rating. The drive ships unmounted for customer wall installation without a bracket, harness, or vibration mounts.
