This base-mounted end suction pump is constructed with a cast iron casing and a bronze impeller. The assembly incorporates a dry shaft design that prevents contact between the circulating fluid and the stainless steel shaft, which is protected by a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve. Rated for 125 PSI, the mechanical seal utilizes a ceramic seat with EPT rubber components.
The pump utilizes a 15 HP premium efficiency TEFC motor operating at 3450 RPM with an Aegis grounding ring, powered by 380-460V, 3PH electrical service with a DOE PEI rating of 0.47. 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.
