This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features a 6" suction and a 5" discharge connection with ANSI Class 125 flanges. The pump is constructed with a cast iron casing, a bronze impeller with a nominal diameter of 13-1/2", and a stainless steel shaft equipped with a bronze shaft sleeve. It utilizes a mechanical seal comprised of a ceramic seat, carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, rated for temperatures up to 250 °F. A bronze wear ring is integrated into the casing design. The dry shaft construction prevents fluid contact with the shaft, and pressure tappings are provided on both the suction and discharge connections.
This pump is powered by a 15 HP Baldor TEFC motor on a NEMA 284T frame, operating at 1150 RPM on a 230-460/60/3 power supply. The motor meets NEMA premium efficiency standards and includes AEGIS shaft grounding. The assembly is configured with a Woods coupler, protected by an OSHA-compliant coupler guard, and is mounted on a welded base that includes an integral drip pan. The system is designed for an ambient temperature of 40 °C and utilizes across the line starting.
