This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features a 3" suction connection and a 2-1/2" discharge connection. The pump is constructed with a cast iron casing, a 10" nominal diameter bronze impeller, and a stainless steel shaft with a bronze shaft sleeve. It utilizes a mechanical seal assembly consisting of a ceramic seat, a carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, rated for operation at temperatures up to 250°F. The assembly includes a bronze wear ring and ANSI Class 250 flanges. The design incorporates a dry shaft configuration to prevent the circulating fluid from contacting the shaft and provides pressure tappings on the suction and discharge connections.
The pump operates at 1450 RPM and is powered by a 5.5 kw Marathon motor. It is configured with a 132S motor frame in a B3-foot mounted style, featuring a TEFC IP55 enclosure, Class F insulation, and a Class B temperature rise. The motor supports 415V, 50Hz, 3PH power input with across the line starting and IE3 efficiency. The pump is mounted on a welded base that includes an integral drip pan and a Woods coupler protected by a standard coupler guard. This unit is rated for a 50°C ambient temperature and maintains a 1.0 service factor.
