Franklin Electric Surface Pumps Centrifugal Frame Mount 10 INCH
Franklin Electric 10 inch frame mount centrifugal pump is a large-capacity, heavy-duty surface pump built for high-volume agricultural irrigation, municipal water supply, construction dewatering, and industrial water transfer operations. Available at Ken’s Distributing Company (Kendisco), the 10 inch model sits between the 9 inch and 13 inch models in the Franklin Electric inch-size frame mount centrifugal series and delivers capacities up to 1,900 GPM with heads up to 400 feet, giving it one of the highest head ratings in the entire surface pump lineup.
Ken’s Distributing carries the Franklin Electric 10 inch frame mount centrifugal pump along with genuine replacement parts and technical support for sizing and configuration. Whether you are building a new pump station or replacing an existing large-frame pump, the team at Kendisco can help you select the right port size configuration and seal option for your application.
What Is the Franklin Electric 10 Inch Frame Mount Centrifugal Pump?
The Franklin Electric 10 inch frame mount centrifugal pump is identified by its 10 inch impeller and housing diameter and uses Class 150 flanged pipe connections rather than the NPT threaded connections found on smaller Franklin Electric centrifugal models. This flanged connection standard is designed for the high pressures and large pipe diameters used in commercial, municipal, and industrial pump stations.
The pump features a ductile iron volute with back pull-out design, an enclosed ductile iron impeller with internal hydraulic balancing, and a heavy-duty iron bearing frame with oversized shaft and max-life bearings. The back pull-out design means the entire rotating assembly can be removed for service and inspection without disconnecting the suction or discharge flanges, which minimizes downtime on permanent installations. Replaceable shaft sleeves and bronze wear rings allow worn components to be replaced individually rather than requiring full pump replacement after extended service life.

Applications and Industries
The Franklin Electric 10 inch frame mount centrifugal pump is built for large-scale, sustained high-volume pumping operations. Its 400-foot head rating is notably higher than the 7.5 inch and 9 inch models in the same series, making it a strong choice for applications that combine high flow with elevated pressure requirements, such as long-distance irrigation mains, elevated storage tank filling, and high-rise building water supply systems.
- Large-scale agricultural and flood irrigation systems including long-distance distribution mains
- Commercial water supply and elevated tank filling
- Construction site dewatering on large-scale projects
- Municipal water supply and treatment plant operations
- Mining water management and process water handling
- Light industrial high-volume water transfer
How the 10 Inch Model Compares to Other Franklin Electric Frame Mount Pumps
The Franklin Electric inch-size frame mount centrifugal series steps up in capacity and head as the impeller diameter increases. The 10 inch model delivers up to 1,900 GPM and 400 feet of head, which is higher head than the 9 inch model (2,000 GPM, 260 feet) despite slightly lower maximum flow. This makes the 10 inch the better choice for applications that prioritize pressure over raw volume. Ken’s Distributing carries the full inch-size series from 7.5 inch through 14 inch so you can compare performance curves and select the right model for your system design requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Franklin Electric 10 inch frame mount centrifugal pump used for?
The Franklin Electric 10 inch frame mount centrifugal pump is used for large-scale agricultural irrigation, municipal water supply and treatment, construction dewatering, commercial water distribution, mining water management, and light industrial high-volume water transfer. Its 400-foot head rating makes it particularly well suited for applications that need both high flow and elevated pressure, such as long-distance irrigation mains and elevated storage tank filling.
What does the 10 inch measurement refer to on this pump?
The 10 inch designation refers to the impeller and housing diameter of this pump model. Franklin Electric uses impeller diameter as the primary size identifier across its large-frame centrifugal pump series. The 10 inch model delivers higher head than the 9 inch model (400 feet vs. 260 feet) while the 9 inch delivers slightly higher maximum flow (2,000 GPM vs. 1,900 GPM).
What seal options are available on the 10 inch frame mount pump?
The Franklin Electric 10 inch frame mount centrifugal pump is available with either a packed-box seal with lantern ring or a mechanical seal using silicon carbide faces and FKM elastomers. The packed-box option is a traditional field-serviceable seal suited for general water applications. The mechanical seal option provides a cleaner, lower-maintenance sealing solution for applications where dripping around a packing gland is not acceptable.
Can this pump be serviced without disconnecting the piping?
Yes. The Franklin Electric 10 inch frame mount centrifugal pump uses a back pull-out design with casing jack-out holes that allow the rotating assembly to be removed for service without disconnecting the suction or discharge flanges. This significantly reduces downtime during maintenance on permanent pump station installations.
What pipe connection type does the 10 inch frame mount pump use?
The Franklin Electric 10 inch frame mount centrifugal pump uses Class 150 flanged pipe connections. This is the standard connection type for large-diameter, high-pressure pump installations and is compatible with standard Class 150 flanged pipe fittings, valves, and reducers in commercial and municipal piping systems.
How does the 10 inch model compare to the 9 inch and 13 inch models?
The 10 inch delivers up to 1,900 GPM at heads up to 400 feet. The 9 inch delivers up to 2,000 GPM at heads up to 260 feet, making it the better flow choice. The 10 inch delivers higher head, making it better for elevated pressure applications.
