Franklin Electric Surface Pumps Centrifugal Frame Mount 13 INCH
Franklin Electric 13 inch frame mount centrifugal pump is the highest-capacity model in the Franklin Electric inch-size frame mount series available at Ken’s Distributing Company (Kendisco), delivering capacities up to 2,800 GPM and heads up to 360 feet for maximum-flow agricultural irrigation, municipal water supply, industrial processing, and mining water management applications. With a maximum working pressure of 350 PSI and Class 150 flanged connections across multiple port size configurations, the 13 inch model is built for permanent pump station installations where sustained high-volume output is the primary requirement.
Ken’s Distributing carries the Franklin Electric 13 inch frame mount centrifugal pump in four model configurations along with genuine replacement parts including volute cases, stainless steel impellers, and bronze wear rings. If you are specifying a new installation or sourcing replacement components for an existing 13 inch pump, the team at Kendisco can help you identify the right configuration and parts for your system.
What Is the Franklin Electric 13 Inch Frame Mount Centrifugal Pump?
The Franklin Electric 13 inch frame mount centrifugal pump is identified by its 13 inch impeller diameter and features several design upgrades compared to the smaller models in the series. The 6×8 model variant uses a split volute design that reduces radial bearing load, extending bearing service life in high-flow, high-duty-cycle applications. The power frame uses a double-keyed impeller connection for improved torque transfer under sustained high-load conditions. The stainless steel impeller across all 13 inch variants provides better corrosion resistance than the cast iron impellers found on smaller models in the series.
Like the other large-frame Franklin Electric centrifugal models, the 13 inch uses a back pull-out design with both casing and frame jack-out holes, along with frame and volute lifting bosses that make handling and servicing the large pump assembly significantly easier in the field. Replaceable shaft sleeves and bronze wear rings allow critical wear components to be replaced without full pump replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Franklin Electric 13 inch frame mount centrifugal pump used for?
The Franklin Electric 13 inch frame mount centrifugal pump is used for maximum-flow agricultural irrigation, municipal water supply and treatment, large-scale construction dewatering, industrial processing water transfer, and mining water management. At 2,800 GPM and 360 feet of head, it is the highest-capacity surface pump in the Franklin Electric inch-size frame mount series available at Ken’s Distributing.
What does the 13 inch measurement refer to on this pump?
The 13 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 13 inch model delivers the highest maximum flow rate in the series at 2,800 GPM, compared to 2,000 GPM for the 9 inch and 1,900 GPM for the 10 inch model.
Why does the 13 inch model use a stainless steel impeller?
The 316 stainless steel impeller on the Franklin Electric 13 inch frame mount pump provides significantly better corrosion resistance than the cast iron or ductile iron impellers used in smaller models. At the flow rates and pressures the 13 inch operates at, corrosion resistance becomes more important for long-term impeller integrity, particularly in applications involving treated water, mineral-heavy source water, or industrial process fluids.
What is a split volute and why does the 6×8 model use one?
A split volute divides the flow path around the impeller into two symmetrical channels rather than a single spiral. This balances the hydraulic forces acting on the impeller radially, reducing the radial load on the bearings. On the XS6x8-13 model which operates at the highest flow rates in the 13 inch series, the split volute extends bearing life significantly in high-duty-cycle pump station applications.
Can this pump be serviced without disconnecting the piping?
Yes. The Franklin Electric 13 inch frame mount centrifugal pump uses a back pull-out design with both casing and frame jack-out holes that allow the rotating assembly to be removed for service without disconnecting the suction or discharge flanges. Frame and volute lifting bosses are also provided to assist with safe handling of the large pump assembly during service and installation.
What replacement parts are available for the Franklin Electric 13 inch frame mount pump?
Ken’s Distributing Company (Kendisco) carries genuine Franklin Electric replacement parts for the 13 inch frame mount pump including volute cases, 316 stainless steel impellers, and SAE 660 bronze wear rings for both the volute case and seal plate positions. See the parts table above for specific part numbers by model configuration. Contact Kendisco for additional components and hardware not listed in the current parts table.
