Franklin Electric 13-Inch Frame Mount Centrifugal Pump & Parts

The Franklin Electric 13-Inch Frame Mount Pump is a heavy-duty, bare-shaft centrifugal pump for large irrigation systems, water distribution and industrial transfer. The XS 13-inch range includes three hydraulic sizes, 3 x 4-13, 4 x 6-13H and 6 x 8-13, with a packing or mechanical-seal choice for each. Ken’s Distributing Company can help you specify a complete pump assembly or identify the OEM replacement part for an existing installation.

Choose from six manufacturer ordering numbers and compare the exact suction/discharge connections, clockwise rotation, shaft sealing and listed assembly weights below. We can also help source impellers, bronze wear rings, volute cases, shaft kits, bearings and seal parts by model and OEM number.

Franklin Electric 13-Inch Frame Mount Pump Specifications

Sizing note: Flow, head and maximum working pressure are different limits. Select the correct impeller trim and speed from the XS4313, XS6413H or XS8613 performance curve at the required duty point, including NPSH and driver power. The current Franklin catalog lists ANSI Class 125 flange connections. Do not infer a flange pressure class from the separate 350 PSI casing working-pressure rating.

13-Inch XS Series Models and Ordering Numbers

The six listed assemblies below are the current manufacturer ordering references for the 13-inch frame-mounted family. -BFP indicates packed-shaft sealing, while -BFM indicates a mechanical seal. Each is a bare-shaft pump, not a complete motor-and-drive package. These manufacturer item numbers are not linked to guessed individual product URLs.

Select the hydraulic before the seal: the 3 x 4-13, 4 x 6-13H and 6 x 8-13 pumps have different volute, impeller and wear-ring numbers. The 6 x 8-13 includes a split volute designed to reduce radial hydraulic load. Available trims and actual duty-point capacity must be confirmed from the chosen performance curve.

13-Inch Frame Mount Pump Dimensions

These are the complete dimensional entries published for the three 13-inch frame-mount hydraulic sizes. Measurements are in inches and are for planning; obtain a current manufacturer drawing before setting the base, coupling, shaft alignment or flange locations.

XS4313, XS6413H and XS8613 Impellers and Wear Rings

The 316 stainless steel impellers and SAE 660 bronze wear rings below are not interchangeable among all three hydraulic sizes. Identify the volute model, impeller diameter or trim, and figure number on the exploded drawing before requesting individual replacement parts.

For shaft kits, Franklin includes the components identified as figures 5, 12, 16, 17, 35, 42 and 43 in its catalog. Choose the mechanical-seal or packed version and the correct shaft size. A manufacturer part number for the shaft alone is not listed; the shaft is specified through the matching kit.

Common 13-Inch Pump Replacement Parts and Bearing Components

These entries retain the manufacturer’s service components for the XS 13-inch frame-mount family. Some entries are assemblies and some are individual parts. Always use the part description and figure reference together with the pump model when requesting fit confirmation.

Performance Curves, Installation and Applications

Franklin Electric publishes separate performance curves for the XS 3 x 4-13, XS 4 x 6-13H and XS 6 x 8-13. The charts show nominal-speed and multi-speed selections, impeller trims, flow, head, power and NPSH requirements. The 2,800 GPM capacity and 360-foot head are overall series limits; confirm the actual operating flow at the system’s total dynamic head instead of using those limits together.

The frame-mounted pump uses a separate driver and coupling. Specify motor or engine speed, alignment method, baseplate, coupling guard, flange dimensions and suction conditions in the quote request. The back pull-out volute and removable seal and bearing-frame components support service without rebuilding the entire pump station plumbing.

• Agricultural irrigation: transfer from storage and supply to high-volume irrigation networks.
• Municipal water systems: raw-water transfer and suitable distribution duties.
• Industrial transfer: process and circulation water within verified materials and temperature limits.
• Construction and mining: clean-water transfer and dewatering where solids content and materials are suitable.

A current manufacturer XS frame-mount catalog, reference Mi4063, contains the complete exploded parts drawings and performance curves. Request the matching catalog pages or a pump-specific submittal when confirming the selected model.

Legacy 2.5 x 3-13 Reference: Verify Before Ordering

The older Ken’s Distributing 13-inch page also references XS25x3-13 with volute case 305464034 and volute wear ring 305464036. These are retained as historic identification references, but the current Franklin XS 13-inch frame-mount ordering list provides no 2.5 x 3-13 bare-shaft order number. Confirm whether the installed equipment is a close-coupled or SAE-engine-drive variant before using these references. Do not substitute its components into the frame-mounted models listed above.

Repair or Replace a Franklin 13-Inch Frame Mount Pump?

• Impeller or wear ring service: select the exact 316 stainless steel impeller or bronze wear ring by hydraulic size when the volute and shaft remain serviceable.
• Packing or seal leakage: confirm packed versus mechanical-seal construction, then reference the shaft sleeve, back plate and seal assembly numbers above.
• Bearing or shaft wear: compare the matching pump-side and drive-side bearings, lip seals and shaft kit with a replacement bearing-frame assembly.
• New pump selection: request a complete bare-shaft pump model when the hydraulic requirements have changed or major components need replacement.

Request Price and Availability for Pumps or OEM Parts

For a complete frame-mount pump: Send the required GPM and total dynamic head, liquid and temperature, available suction head/NPSH, driver speed, connection sizes, preferred packing or mechanical seal, and motor or coupling arrangement. Include the complete XS model designation or 11-digit Franklin order number if replacing an existing assembly.

For replacement parts: Send the pump nameplate and model, OEM part number or figure reference, seal style and a photo of the removed part when helpful. Ken’s Distributing Company can confirm fit, price and availability. Request a pump or parts quote or call 303-699-7845.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which 13-inch Franklin Electric frame-mount models can I request?

The current frame-mount catalog lists XS4313-BFP-CW and XS4313-BFM-CW, XS6413H-BFP-CW and XS6413H-BFM-CW, plus XS8613-BFP-CW and XS8613-BFM-CW. They cover three hydraulic sizes with packed or mechanical-seal construction.

Does a 13-inch frame-mount order include the electric motor?

These order numbers identify bare-shaft, bearing-frame pump assemblies. The motor or other driver, coupling, guard and baseplate must be specified for the installation.

Is the 13-inch impeller always exactly 13 inches?

The series is identified by nominal 13-inch hydraulics. Franklin shows different impeller trims on the curves, so confirm the specific trim and speed for the required flow and head.

Which 13-inch model uses a split volute?

Franklin identifies the XS 6 x 8-13 with a split-volute arrangement to reduce radial load on its bearing assembly. The 3 x 4-13 and 4 x 6-13H have different hydraulic parts.

Can I buy a 13-inch XS replacement impeller or mechanical seal separately?

The manufacturer lists replacement impellers 305464002, 305464063 and 305464021 for the respective three hydraulic sizes, and mechanical shaft seal 305463153 among the service parts. Provide the exact pump model to confirm fit.

Are the 350 PSI working pressure and 360-foot head the same rating?

No. Maximum working pressure is an equipment limit, whereas head is a hydraulic performance characteristic. Use the curve for the selected pump, speed and impeller trim to check the actual discharge duty point.

What flange class does Franklin specify?

Franklin’s current XS frame-mount catalog specifies ANSI Class 125 flanged connections for the 13-inch ordering configurations. Confirm flange compatibility separately from the pump’s maximum working-pressure rating.
