Franklin Electric Centrifugal Frame Mount FACT Water Pump
Franklin Electric Centrifugal Frame Mount FACT Water Pump is a heavy-duty belt or direct drive surface pump built for reliable, high-efficiency water transfer in agricultural, commercial, and light industrial applications. Available at Ken’s Distributing Company (Kendisco), the FACT pump features a cast iron volute, an enclosed cast iron impeller for maximum efficiency, and a robust bearing frame that supports both belt drive and direct drive power configurations.
The FACT is the stronger-performing frame mount model compared to the FAOT in the Franklin Electric lineup, offering higher flow capacity up to 175 GPM and heads up to 150 feet in the same compact, versatile frame mount format. Ken’s Distributing stocks the complete FACT series along with all genuine Franklin Electric replacement parts and repair components for the FACT-5, FACT-6, and FACT-8 model sizes.
What Is the Franklin Electric FACT Frame Mount Centrifugal Pump?
The Franklin Electric Centrifugal Frame Mount FACT Water Pump is a medium to high capacity surface pump designed for applications that need reliable flow and sustained pressure from a belt or engine drive setup. With capacities up to 175 GPM, heads up to 150 feet, and a maximum working pressure of 120 PSI, the FACT handles a wide range of water transfer and pressure boosting tasks across irrigation, commercial, and municipal operations.
The enclosed impeller design on the FACT is optimized for clean water efficiency, delivering higher head performance than the open-face FAOT impeller at equivalent flow rates. The cast iron volute rotates to simplify discharge plumbing alignment, and the bearing frame accepts both belt and direct drive arrangements so you can match the pump to your existing power equipment in the field. The mechanical seal uses standard carbon and ceramic faces with nitrile elastomers and 300 series stainless steel components for consistent, leak-free operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Franklin Electric FACT frame mount centrifugal pump used for?
The Franklin Electric Centrifugal Frame Mount FACT Water Pump is used for water circulation, pressure booster service, liquid transfer, agricultural and commercial spraying systems, jockey pump applications, and general service water transfer. Its enclosed impeller makes it best suited for clean water applications where higher head performance and efficiency are the priority.
What does frame mount mean on the FACT pump?
Frame mount means the pump end is mounted to a separate bearing frame rather than being directly coupled to a motor. The FACT bearing frame accepts both belt drive and direct drive configurations, giving you flexibility to power the pump with an electric motor, engine, or other drive equipment depending on your installation setup.
What is the difference between the FACT and the FAOT frame mount pump?
The Franklin Electric FACT uses an enclosed impeller optimized for clean water efficiency and delivers up to 175 GPM with heads up to 150 feet. The FAOT uses an open-face impeller for solids handling and delivers up to 120 GPM with heads up to 85 feet. Choose the FACT for clean water pressure and efficiency. Choose the FAOT when the pumped fluid contains light debris or solids. Both models are available at Ken’s Distributing Company.
Can the FACT pump handle solids?
The FACT uses an enclosed impeller which is designed for clean water rather than solids handling. For applications where water contains debris, sediment, or light solids, the open-face FAOT model is a better choice. Contact Kendisco if you need help selecting between the two models for your specific application.
Can the FACT pump be mounted vertically or horizontally?
Yes. Franklin Electric Centrifugal Frame Mount FACT Water Pump supports both vertical and horizontal mounting positions. The cast iron volute can also be rotated to align the discharge outlet with your plumbing layout during installation.
What replacement parts are available for the FACT pump?
