This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features an 8" suction and 6" discharge with ANSI Class 125 flanges. It uses a 13-1/2" nominal diameter bronze impeller with a bronze wear ring. The pump assembly includes a stainless steel shaft, a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve, and a cast iron casing. The mechanical seal is constructed with a ceramic seat, carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, rated for temperatures up to 250°F. The design incorporates a dry shaft to prevent contact between the circulating fluid and the shaft.
This unit operates at 1150 RPM and is powered by a 20 HP Baldor motor with an ODP enclosure. It is configured for a 230-460/60/3PH power supply and a NEMA 286T frame. The motor meets NEMA Premium Efficiency MG1-12.55 standards and includes AEGIS shaft grounding. The pump assembly is mounted on a welded base with an integrated drip pan and an OSHA-compliant coupler guard. A Woods coupler connects the pump to the motor for across-the-line starting.
