This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features a cast iron casing with 6" suction and 5" discharge connections. It uses a 13-1/2" nominal diameter bronze impeller and a stainless steel shaft with a bronze shaft sleeve. The pump utilizes a mechanical seal constructed with a ceramic seat, carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, rated for a maximum temperature of 250°F. The unit includes ANSI Class 125 flanges and a dry shaft design to prevent contact between the pumped fluid and the shaft.
The pump is driven by a 15 HP, 1150 RPM Baldor motor in a NEMA 284T frame with an ODP enclosure. It is configured for 230-460V, 60Hz, 3PH power and meets premium efficiency standards with AEGIS shaft grounding. The assembly is mounted on a welded structural steel base with an integral drip pan and an OSHA-compliant coupler guard. It utilizes a standard Woods coupler and a bearing frame with greasable bearings for a 40°C ambient temperature environment.
