Cl SCi series pumps
PDF datasheet mirror for Cl SCi series pumps (Taco Pumps). Verify with OEM before design.
Summary
Product identification
The CI Series Pumps are Close-Coupled End Suction Pumps designed for water circulation, heating, air conditioning, pressure boosting, cooling water transfer, and water supply applications.
- Model: CI / SCI Series
- Catalog #: 300-2.5
- Document Effective Date: 04/06/18
- Supersedes: 05/30/17
Key features include SelfSensing with ProBalance® technology, ECM motor options, and eLink™ connectivity.
Operating limits
The maximum total working pressure and temperature ratings are provided based on flange class.
- Standard Flange (ANSI Class 125):
- Pressure: 175 PSIG (1210 KPA)
- Temperature: 250°F (120°C)
- Optional Flange (ANSI Class 250):
- Pressure: 300 PSIG (2070 KPA)
- Temperature: 250°F (102°C)
For operating temperatures above 250°F, a cooled flush is required, and it is recommended for temperatures above 225°F for optimum seal life.
Feed water
The pumps are designed to protect the seal from non-condensible particles.
- Optional Filters:
- Cuno 5 Micron
- Kynar Cyclone Separator
Electrical
The CI Series offers ECM motor options and integrated drive solutions.

SelfSensing Series with ProBalance®
This technology integrates the pump and drive, allowing the pump to automatically respond to system demand changes without remote sensors or complex wiring. It includes automatic alerts and optional shutdown for no-flow, dry-run, and end-of-curve operation. The unit is electronically protected for overload and locked rotor conditions per UL 778 and CSA C22.2 No. 108.
SelfSensing Modulating Pump Controller (MPC)
For parallel pumping configurations, the MPC can operate 2 to 4 pumps for maximum efficiency. It provides a single building automation systems connection in either BACnet MSTP or Modbus RTU and is enclosed in a NEMA 4X certified enclosure.
Mechanical / hydraulic
The CI Series pumps feature a close-coupled, end-suction design with robust construction.
Design Features
- 1/4 NPT pressure tapping on suction and discharge connections.
- Top center line discharge design simplifies piping layouts, reduces piping strain, and makes the pump self-venting.
- Cast iron casing with integrally cast feet for sturdy installation, allowing back pull out without disturbing piping.
- Rear pullout design for servicing without disturbing system piping.
- 1/4 NPT casing drain plug.
- Easy-to-replace, slip-on shaft sleeve.
- Impeller is hydraulically balanced by back vanes or balancing holes, dynamically balanced to ANSI Grade G6.3, and fitted to the shaft with a key.
- Close-coupled to a NEMA standard JM regreaseable motor.
- Dry shaft design prevents circulating fluid from contacting the shaft.
- Self-flushing seal design or a positive external seal flushing line.
