This base-mounted end suction pump is constructed with a cast iron casing and integrally cast mounting feet. The assembly incorporates a stainless steel impeller and a dry shaft design that prevents circulating fluid from contacting the stainless steel shaft. A bronze shaft sleeve serves to protect the shaft, while the mechanical seal comprises a ceramic seat and EPT rubber, rated for 125 PSI operation with an included wear ring.
The 15 HP premium efficiency TEFC motor operates at 3450 RPM and integrates Aegis grounding, power delivery of 380-460V / 3PH, and 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.
