This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features an 8" suction and a 6" discharge with ANSI Class 125 flanges. The pump is constructed with a cast iron casing, a bronze impeller with a 13-1/2" nominal diameter, and a stainless steel shaft with a stainless steel shaft sleeve. It includes a bronze wear ring and a dry shaft design that prevents the circulating fluid from contacting the shaft. The mechanical seal assembly utilizes a ceramic seat, carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, and is rated for temperatures up to 250°F. The casing includes pressure tappings on the suction and discharge connections, as well as flush seal line taps.
This unit operates at 1150 RPM and is powered by a 20 HP Baldor ODP motor in a NEMA 286T frame. The electrical configuration is 230-460/60/3PH, and the motor meets premium efficiency standards per MG1-12.55. The assembly includes AEGIS shaft grounding and is mounted on a welded base with an integrated drip pan. A Woods coupler connects the pump to the motor, protected by an OSHA-compliant coupler guard.
