This base-mounted end suction pump is constructed with a class 30 cast iron casing and a bronze impeller. The assembly utilizes a dry shaft design, which prevents contact between the circulating fluid and the stainless steel shaft. A replaceable bronze shaft sleeve covers the shaft to facilitate maintenance. The pump incorporates a mechanical seal assembly utilizing ceramic seats and EPT rubber, rated for 125 PSI. Gauge ports are positioned at the suction and discharge connections, along with a drain port at the bottom of the casing.
The 5 HP, premium efficiency, ODP motor operates at 1750 RPM with Aegis grounding, powered by a 380-460V / 3PH supply, achieving a DOE PEI of 0.44. 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 1 / IP 21 rating. The drive ships unmounted for customer wall installation without a bracket, harness, or vibration mounts.
