FEGB-200TE vs. FEGBLV-200TE: Order the Right End Gun Booster
Choose a complete pump when the casing must also be replaced or for a compatible new installation. Choose the less-volute model when the existing volute can be retained and the replacement rotating assembly fits it. Both options require a model and dimensional check before a retrofit.
| Item number | Model | Configuration | Motor | Approx. product weight | When to consider |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 71250245101 | FEGB-200TE | Complete pump with cast iron volute | 2 HP, 460V, 3-phase TEFC | 72 lb | New installation or complete replacement |
| 63250245201 | FEGBLV-200TE | Less-volute pump assembly | 2 HP, 460V, 3-phase TEFC | 65 lb | Replacing a compatible motor and pump-end assembly while retaining the existing volute |
Request a complete pump or less-volute quote: Send Ken’s Distributing the model and item number, the existing pump brand and model, and photographs or measurements of the volute and mounting arrangement. Ask for FEGB pump pricing and availability. For a retrofit, include the existing casing’s condition and connection sizes.
How a Center Pivot End Gun Booster Pump Works
An end gun extends sprinkler coverage beyond the end of a center pivot. It may need more pressure than is available at the outer end of the pivot, particularly after friction and elevation losses along the system. An end gun booster draws from the pivot’s water supply and raises the pressure delivered to the end gun while that zone is operating.
The FEGB is a centrifugal pressure booster, not a substitute for designing the end gun, pipework and controls as a system. The selected pump must produce the required added head at the end gun’s actual operating GPM. Mounting location, pipe losses and available inlet pressure all affect the result.
How to Size the FEGB Booster for End Gun Flow and Pressure
For an accurate selection, compare the end gun manufacturer’s pressure requirement with measured or calculated pressure at the booster inlet while the pivot is operating. Also account for piping losses between the booster discharge and the sprinkler.
| Buyer information | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| End gun make, model and nozzle | Establishes the manufacturer’s flow and operating pressure requirements |
| Required end gun flow, GPM | Determines the duty point at which the booster must add head |
| Pressure available at the booster inlet | Shows how much pressure is already provided by the pivot system |
| Target pressure at the end gun | Defines the remaining boost requirement after discharge-line losses |
| Existing pump and volute dimensions | Helps check fit of a complete pump or FEGBLV less-volute retrofit |
| 460V, three-phase power and controls | Confirms motor compatibility and how the booster starts with the end gun |
The FEGB performance must be checked on its own pump curve; a generic pressure range for end gun sprinklers does not establish this model’s suitability. Use the Performance Curves resource above when selecting the pump.
Features That Matter on a Pivot Irrigation Booster
- Cast iron back pull-out casing: Provides service access to the rotating assembly on compatible installations while leaving the casing connected to the piping.
- Enclosed stainless steel impeller: A corrosion-resistant hydraulic component intended for the end gun pressure-boosting application.
- 2 HP, 460V three-phase TEFC motor: Designed for the specified electrical service, with a fan-cooled enclosed motor housing.
- Mechanical shaft seal: Enables pump-end service when wear or leakage develops, using model-matched replacement components.
- Less-volute replacement choice: Offers an alternative to replacing the entire casing when an existing volute is compatible and serviceable.
- 2.5-inch suction and 2-inch discharge: Helps buyers confirm piping and retrofit compatibility before requesting a quote.
The series describes a 1.50 motor service factor, but that figure is not a reason to operate the pump continuously beyond its application limits. Use the motor nameplate, pump curve and installation instructions for the allowable operating conditions.
Franklin Electric End Gun Booster Replacement Parts
Ken’s Distributing also handles quote requests for FEGB end gun booster pump replacement parts. A failed impeller, worn hardware or damaged volute does not necessarily require replacing the entire pump. Identify the component from the model and repair-parts diagram, then confirm the replacement number before ordering.
| Repair part | Listed part number | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Volute with plugs | 305462047 | Condition of the existing casting and port arrangement |
| Impeller kit | 305462048 | Impeller wear and the exact pump assembly |
| Motor bracket | 305462049 | Bracket damage and motor mounting fit |
| Studs, four-pack | 305462224 | Hardware condition and pack quantity |
| Motor bracket bolts | 305462051 | Correct replacement hardware |
These are selected references from the FEGB repair-parts breakdown available in the resource buttons above. If you need a mechanical seal, motor or an unlisted component, send the model and motor nameplate details so the correct current part number can be checked. Do not assume a similarly sized end gun booster uses interchangeable parts.
Request a parts quote: Include FEGB-200TE or FEGBLV-200TE, any number from the table, the quantity, and a photo of the nameplate or failed component. Ken’s Distributing can check fit, pricing and availability before you order.
Complete Pump, Less-Volute Assembly or Repair Part?
| Situation | Practical starting point |
|---|---|
| New center pivot booster or a cracked/unsuitable casing | Quote FEGB-200TE complete pump, subject to hydraulic and dimensional fit |
| Motor or rotating assembly failed; existing casing is in good condition | Check FEGBLV-200TE less-volute replacement compatibility |
| Impeller or replaceable hardware worn | Identify the corresponding FEGB repair part number |
| Reduced end gun reach with an otherwise operating pump | Check inlet pressure, system flow, end gun nozzle, controls and pump curve before replacing equipment |
Installation and Service Considerations
- Electrical supply: Confirm 460V three-phase service, motor protection and a compatible end gun control sequence with a qualified installer.
- Water supply: Make sure water is present before the booster runs; the pump’s mechanical seal needs water during normal operation.
- Pipe connection and orientation: Confirm the 2.5-inch FNPT suction, 2-inch FNPT discharge, and required motor and piping clearances.
- Retrofit fit: For the less-volute version, match the existing casing and mounting interface rather than relying only on the motor horsepower.
- Service access: Allow clearance for back pull-out maintenance and follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
For an existing pivot, refer to the Dimensions resource above when comparing the replacement assembly with your current installation.
