This base-mounted end suction pump comprises a cast iron casing and a bronze impeller. The design integrates a stainless steel shaft covered by a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve, utilizing a dry shaft construction to prevent fluid contact with the shaft. A mechanical seal with a ceramic seat and EPT rubber ensures fluid containment at pressures up to 125 PSI. This pump incorporates an end suction design with a center-line discharge for air venting.
The assembly is powered by a 10 HP Premium Efficiency ODP motor operating at 1750 RPM, which integrates Aegis grounding and utilizes a 200-230V / 3PH power supply, resulting in a DOE PEI rating of 0.45. 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 Type 1 / IP 21 rating. The drive ships unmounted for customer wall installation without a bracket, harness, or vibration mounts.
