Franklin Electric XS Series Close-Coupled Centrifugal Pump Specifications

Engineering note: The GPM, head, pressure and temperature figures above are separate catalog limits. Select a model using the required flow at total dynamic head, NPSH available, liquid properties and exact impeller trim. They are not simultaneous performance guarantees.

Select the XS Pump Size, Impeller and Connections

The number before XS identifies the motor horsepower. The XS439, XS4313, XS6413H and XS8613 names identify different hydraulic sizes, not interchangeable pump ends. Start with the performance curve, then choose mechanical sealing or packing, voltage, motor enclosure and exact item number.

Request a complete XS pump quote: Send Ken’s Distributing the XS pump size, item number (if known), required GPM, total dynamic head, phase and voltage, discharge connection and shipping destination. If this replaces an existing unit, send a nameplate photo.

Franklin Electric XS Series Repair and Replacement Parts

Ken’s Distributing can also help identify replacement parts for an existing XS centrifugal pump. The close-coupled XS 3 x 4-9 does not use the same seal or impeller parts as the 13-inch XS hydraulic families. Before ordering, provide the complete model, pump item number, horsepower, impeller-trim code, seal configuration and any old part number.

Mechanical Seal, Packing, Volute and Shaft Parts by XS Size

These are Franklin Electric close-coupled XS catalog part numbers. On the shaft sleeve column, the first number applies to a mechanical-seal sleeve and the second to a packed-seal sleeve. For XS 6 x 8-13, sleeve part numbers also vary by motor horsepower and frame.

XS 6 x 8-13 shaft-sleeve detail: 25-50 HP uses mechanical-seal sleeve 305464057 or packing sleeve 305464056. The 60-75 HP motor range uses mechanical-seal sleeve 305464029 or packing sleeve 305464028. Also identify the exact wear-ring and seal-plate assembly when requesting parts.

XS Replacement Impeller Part Numbers by Size and Trim

Impeller parts must be matched by hydraulic size and trim code, not horsepower alone. For example, XS 4 x 6-13H offers two different 30 HP impeller trims, and XS 6 x 8-13 includes two 40 HP, two 60 HP and two 75 HP trims. The codes in the following table correspond to Franklin Electric’s XS close-coupled parts catalog.

The complete catalog also specifies bronze wear rings for the 13-inch pumps: XS 3 x 4-13 uses volute and seal-plate wear-ring number 305464003; XS 4 x 6-13H uses 305464023 (volute) and 305464003 (seal plate); XS 6 x 8-13 uses 305464024 (volute) and 305464025 (seal plate).

Request repair or replacement parts: Tell us whether you need an impeller, mechanical seal, packing gland, shaft sleeve, volute, wear ring or pump-end kit. Share the existing nameplate and the old part number if available. See our Franklin Electric pump replacement parts overview for related pump series.

When to Repair an XS Pump or Replace the Complete Unit

If the motor is operating correctly and the casing is sound, replacing a worn seal, packing or correctly trimmed impeller may be the right service option. A damaged volute, severely worn hydraulic components, repeated bearing or motor issues, or an undersized pump may make a complete replacement more economical. Provide the existing operating point and failed component so Ken’s Distributing can quote the appropriate option.

XS Pump-End Kits for Motor Replacement or Rebuilds

For users retaining a compatible electric motor, Franklin Electric also lists separate XS pump-end kits. A pump-end kit is not an assembled motor-and-pump package; the motor frame, shaft size, sealing arrangement and impeller trim must be matched. Examples include XS439-KTM8 mechanical pump end (63040309101), XS439-KTP8 packed pump end (62040309100), and the XS4313-KTM8-01 mechanical pump end (63040313101).

Franklin Electric notes that some pump-end kits are supplied with the largest impeller in their motor-frame group; the installer or assembler is responsible for correct impeller trim and rebalancing for the selected motor and duty point. Ask for help identifying the correct kit before ordering.

XS Close-Coupled vs. Frame-Mount Centrifugal Pumps

Both pump designs use centrifugal hydraulics, but they serve different drive and installation layouts. These pump ends and their service parts should not be assumed interchangeable solely because the XS hydraulic name matches.

For a separately supported pump and driver, compare the Franklin Electric XS Series Frame-Mount Centrifugal Pump.

Typical Applications for the Franklin Electric XS Series

• Agricultural irrigation: Water-transfer and irrigation distribution systems sized using total dynamic head and the actual pump curve.
• Commercial buildings and utilities: Water transfer and circulation where an end-suction centrifugal pump is specified.
• Municipal water systems: Compatible treated- or raw-water pumping duties requiring defined motor and hydraulic specifications.
• Industrial facilities: Clean-water and general service pumping where the cast iron casing and selected seal materials suit the liquid.
• Construction water handling: Controlled water transfer in applications that meet the system suction and motor requirements.

Installation, Motor Selection and Maintenance

• Hydraulic sizing: Verify required GPM, total dynamic head, NPSH available and impeller-trim performance before finalizing horsepower.
• Connection: Check NPT or ANSI Class 125 flange type and nominal suction and discharge sizes; do not substitute one hydraulic family for another by horsepower alone.
• Motor: Confirm single-phase 230V or three-phase 230/460V, actual JP motor frame, ODP/TEFC enclosure and site protection requirements.
• Seal configuration: Choose the mechanical-seal or packed version to match application and service requirements; parts and sleeves differ.
• Service: Record the complete item number, motor nameplate, impeller-trim code and serial information before ordering replacements.

Franklin Electric XS Series Frequently Asked Questions

What horsepower range does the XS close-coupled pump cover?

The listed XS close-coupled pump assemblies span 7.5 to 75 HP across four different hydraulic sizes. A given XS size has its own narrower horsepower range.

Can I order a 30 HP Franklin Electric XS centrifugal pump?

Yes. Several XS sizes and impeller trims include 30 HP configurations. Identify the hydraulic size, seal arrangement, voltage and item number rather than selecting by 30 HP alone.

Does the XS Series use cast iron or stainless steel impellers?

Both, depending on hydraulic size: XS 3 x 4-9 uses cast iron impellers; XS 3 x 4-13, 4 x 6-13H and 6 x 8-13 use 316 stainless steel impellers. The pump volutes are cast iron.

What is the difference between mechanical seal and packing options?

Mechanical-seal models use a mechanical shaft seal; packed versions use packing with a lantern ring and packing gland. They use different seal assemblies and shaft sleeves, so provide the exact configuration for parts quotes.

Which XS replacement impeller fits my pump?

Match the XS hydraulic size and impeller-trim code to the part table above. Two pumps with the same HP may have different impeller diameters and corresponding replacement part numbers.

Can I buy an XS pump end without the motor?

Franklin Electric lists pump-end kits for selected sizes and seal configurations. Verify the JP motor-frame fit and required impeller trimming before ordering an unassembled pump end.

Are the XS 3 x 4-9 and XS 6 x 8-13 parts interchangeable?

No. They are different hydraulic families with distinct impellers, seals and casing components. Model and trim identification is essential when requesting repair parts.

How do I request pricing for an XS pump or repair parts?

Ken’s Distributing provides pricing and availability by quote. For a pump, send your required GPM, head, motor supply and preferred configuration. For parts, send the old part number and a complete pump model or item number, plus the component needed.
