This base-mounted end suction pump comprises a cast iron casing with center-line discharge and a bronze impeller. The assembly utilizes a dry shaft design, protecting the stainless steel shaft from fluid contact with a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve. It incorporates an EPT rubber and ceramic mechanical seal, rated for 125 PSI and temperatures up to 250°F. The pump casing provides a wear ring and connections for suction and discharge pressure monitoring.
The assembly operates with a 40 HP premium efficiency TEFC motor at 1750 RPM, which integrates Aegis grounding and functions on 380-460V / 3PH power with a DOE PEI of 0.46. 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 4X / IP 66 rating. The drive ships unmounted for customer wall installation without a bracket, harness, or vibration mounts.
