This base-mounted end suction pump is constructed with a cast iron casing and a bronze impeller. The assembly utilizes a stainless steel shaft paired with a bronze shaft sleeve, employing a dry shaft design that prevents circulating fluid from contacting the shaft. Mechanical sealing consists of a ceramic seat and EPT rubber, providing a pressure rating of 125 PSI in configurations without a wear ring.
The 15 HP premium efficiency TEFC motor operates at 1750 RPM and integrates Aegis grounding on a 380-460V / 3PH power supply, resulting in 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.
