Franklin Electric 9-Inch Frame Mount Pump & Parts

The Franklin Electric 9-Inch Frame Mount Pump family includes XS439 and XS869 bare-shaft centrifugal pumps for irrigation, construction water transfer, municipal systems and water trucks. Choose the 3 × 4-inch XS439 for threaded or grooved piping with clockwise or counterclockwise rotation, or review the 6 × 8-inch XS869 for higher-flow flanged installations. Ken’s Distributing Company supplies quotation assistance for complete pump assemblies and model-matched OEM repair parts.

Quick selection: The XS439 is rated up to 1,000 GPM and 260 feet of head; the XS869 is listed up to 2,000 GPM and 90 feet of head in Franklin Electric’s water-truck brochure. These are separate model-family limits, not simultaneous operating points. Match the pump to your required gallons per minute, total dynamic head, drive speed, rotation and connections.

Franklin Electric 9-Inch Frame Mount Pump Specifications

Buyer note: The maximum working-pressure specification is not the same as developed discharge pressure at a given duty point. Consult the actual performance curve and suction conditions when sizing the pump. A frame-mounted bare-shaft pump does not include an electric motor or engine.

XS439 vs. XS869: Which 9-Inch Pump Fits?

XS439 (3 × 4-9): A 3-inch discharge and 4-inch suction with NPT threaded or grooved connections. Select CW or CCW rotation and either packing or a mechanical seal. This is the model covered by Franklin’s current 9-inch frame-mount catalog.

XS869 (6 × 8-9): A 6-inch discharge and 8-inch suction with flanged connections and CW rotation in the legacy ordering information. It targets substantially higher flow at lower head than the XS439. Verify the listed model, pressure rating, flange standard and current availability with Ken’s Distributing before replacing or specifying an XS869.

9-Inch XS439 and XS869 Ordering Information

The ordering table retains all ten original pump configurations, their manufacturer item numbers, seal types, rotation and shipping weights. The 3 × 4 options weigh 135 lb in the supplied catalog; the 6 × 8 options are listed at 235 lb. Linked item numbers open their verified individual product pages. To quote an XS869 listing without a verified dedicated item page, supply its item number directly.

Pump quotation: Send the item or model number, required GPM and TDH, drive type and speed, piping connection, shaft rotation and seal preference. Ken’s Distributing Company will confirm the appropriate configuration, pricing and availability.

Serviceable Construction and Applications

• Back pull-out volute: Allows access to the rotating assembly while leaving correctly installed suction and discharge piping in place.
• Enclosed double-keyed impeller: Cast-iron hydraulic construction, with CW and CCW impeller versions where applicable.
• Bearing-frame maintenance: Grease fittings, replaceable shaft sleeve, bearings and case gasket support service planning.
• Two seal approaches: Traditional packing for adjustable shaft sealing, or a mechanical seal for installations that call for it.
• Typical uses: Agricultural irrigation, water-truck filling and spraying, construction water transfer, commercial water supply and municipal/industrial pumping where the hydraulic curve fits.

Franklin Electric XS439 and XS869 Replacement Parts

The exploded diagram and complete component matrix below retain the source part numbers for both pump sizes. Identify the exact model, direction of rotation and packed-box or mechanical-seal arrangement before requesting parts. The XS439 and XS869 use different impellers, volutes, shaft replacement kits and some other components, so matching by the shared 9-inch nominal size alone is not sufficient.

Exploded Parts and OEM Component Matrix

Common service searches: XS439 mechanical shaft seal 305462029, XS439 CW impeller 305462008, XS439 CCW impeller 305462036, XS869 CW impeller 305462018, packed-style bearing frame 305462037, mechanical-seal bearing frame 305462038 and the listed shaft replacement kits 305731901 or 305731903. Use the matrix for model-specific selection.

Repair-parts quotation: Send the pump nameplate, exact OEM part number if available, figure number, rotation, and a photo of the component or exploded drawing. Older XS439 parts lists may show different numbers for packing and bearing-related hardware, so confirm any supersession before ordering.

9-Inch Pump Dimensions and Mounting Clearances

Keep space for the coupling or belt drive, guarding, piping and back pull-out servicing. Original 3 × 4-9 and 6 × 8-9 dimensional entries are preserved below as supplied; manufacturer dimensions are for estimating layouts and should be checked against the selected unit.

9-Inch Frame Mount Performance Curves

Use the performance curves to check required total dynamic head, flow, efficiency and suitable driver speed. The XS439 and XS869 have different performance ranges, so do not use the 2,000 GPM XS869 headline figure as the maximum capacity of an XS439.

Repair, Replace the Pump End, or Specify a New Pump?

If a pump still meets its duty point but leaks at the shaft or has bearing noise, checking the seal, packing, sleeve, bearings or impeller may be more economical than replacing the complete pump. A cracked or badly worn volute, inadequate capacity at the operating point or a changed piping/drive arrangement may justify replacing the pump. Send the model and current operating conditions to Ken’s Distributing for help comparing repair parts and replacement options.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Franklin Electric 9-Inch Frame Mount Pump

Is a motor included with the XS439 or XS869 frame-mount pump?

No. These are bare-shaft frame-mounted pump assemblies. The motor or other drive, coupling or belt arrangement and any required guard must be selected for the duty point.

Is the 9-inch XS439 rated for 2,000 GPM?

No. Franklin’s 9-inch frame-mount catalog rates the XS439 family up to 1,000 GPM. An older Franklin brochure lists the separate XS869 6 × 8-inch series at up to 2,000 GPM and 90 feet of head.

What is the difference between XS439 and XS869?

XS439 has 3-inch discharge and 4-inch suction ports, with threaded or grooved connections and either shaft rotation. XS869 uses 6-inch discharge and 8-inch suction ports, flanged connections and CW rotation in the original ordering information. Their replacement impellers and shaft kits are not interchangeable by assumption.

What does CW or CCW mean when choosing a pump?

It describes pump shaft rotation as viewed from the shaft end. Match the selected drive rotation and the impeller/volute configuration before ordering.

Can I buy a mechanical seal, packing, impeller or shaft kit separately?

Yes, individual manufacturer part numbers are listed in the component matrix. Provide the complete model, original part number and pump configuration when requesting fit confirmation and pricing.

Does a 250 PSI maximum working pressure mean the pump produces 250 PSI discharge pressure?

No. Maximum working pressure is a system/component limitation. Actual pump differential pressure depends on the speed, selected impeller and operating point on the performance curve.
