This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features a 6" suction and 5" discharge with ANSI Class 125 flanges. The pump is constructed with a cast iron casing and a 13-1/2" nominal diameter bronze impeller.

Pressure tappings are located at the suction and discharge connections for system monitoring.
The assembly includes a 50 HP Baldor motor with a TEFC enclosure, NEMA 326T frame, and 1750 RPM speed. It operates on a 230-460/60/3PH power supply with an across-the-line starting configuration. The pump is mounted on a welded base that incorporates a drip pan and is connected to the motor via a Woods coupler protected by a standard coupler guard. This unit features premium efficiency motor performance and holds a DOE PEI rating of 0.93.
