This base-mounted end suction pump comprises a cast iron casing and a stainless steel impeller. The assembly integrates a dry shaft design that utilizes a bronze shaft sleeve on a stainless steel shaft to prevent fluid contact. A ceramic mechanical seal with EPT rubber elements ensures fluid containment within the unit, which provides an operating pressure capacity of 125 PSI.
The pump utilizes a 5 HP Premium Efficiency TEFC motor operating at 1750 RPM with Aegis Grounding, powered by 380-460V / 3PH electrical input, yielding a DOE PEI rating of 0.44. The 'S' in the SCI 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.
