This close-coupled end suction pump incorporates a cast iron casing with a bronze impeller and bronze shaft sleeve. The dry shaft design isolates the shaft from the circulating fluid to reduce internal corrosion. A mechanical seal assembly utilizing ceramic seat halves and EPT rubber components maintains fluid containment within the unit, which supports system pressures up to 125 PSI. Casing-mounted wear rings maintain consistent hydraulic performance during operation.
The 15 HP Premium Efficiency ODP motor operates at 3450 RPM, incorporates Aegis grounding, and receives 208V / 3PH power, yielding a DOE PEI of 0.45. 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 an electro-mechanical bypass, main disconnect, and drive fusing, and holds an enclosure NEMA Type 1 / IP 21 rating. The drive ships unmounted for customer wall installation without a bracket, harness, or vibration mounts.
