This Taco FI Series base-mounted end suction pump features an 8" suction and a 6" discharge with ANSI Class 125 flanges. It uses an 11" nominal impeller diameter constructed of bronze with an integrated bronze wear ring. The pump includes a cast iron casing and a stainless steel shaft protected by a bronze shaft sleeve. The mechanical seal utilizes a ceramic seat, carbon rotor, and EPT rubber, and is rated for temperatures up to 250°F. The unit incorporates a dry shaft design to prevent contact between the circulating fluid and the pump shaft.

The motor is rated for 230-460/60/3PH power and meets premium efficiency standards per MG1-12.55, including AEGIS shaft grounding. The assembly is mounted on a welded base with an integral drip pan and includes a Woods coupler with an OSHA-compliant coupler guard.
