This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features a 10" suction and an 8" discharge with ANSI Class 125 flanges. The pump includes a cast iron casing with pressure tappings and a stainless steel impeller with a 13-1/2" nominal diameter and a bronze wear ring. The assembly uses a stainless steel shaft with a bronze shaft sleeve and a mechanical seal composed of a silicon-carbide seat, carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, rated for operation up to 250°F. The design incorporates a dry shaft and flush seal line taps to manage circulating fluid contact and facilitate seal maintenance.
The pump operates at 1150 RPM and is powered by a 30 HP, 230-460/60/3 PH Baldor motor with an ODP enclosure and NEMA 326 T frame. It utilizes greasable bearings and a Woods coupler for the motor connection. The unit is mounted on a welded base with an integrated drip pan and an OSHA-compliant coupler guard. The motor meets NEMA MG1-12.55 premium efficiency standards and includes AEGIS shaft grounding. This configuration supports across-the-line starting for clean water applications.
