Franklin Electric 14-Inch Frame Mount Centrifugal Pump & Parts

The Franklin Electric 14-Inch Frame Mount Pump is a heavy-duty, bearing-frame centrifugal pump family for large irrigation systems, commercial water transfer, municipal pumping installations and industrial water movement. Choose by the actual hydraulic size, required flow and head, shaft-sealing arrangement and pump model, rather than nominal impeller diameter alone.

Ken’s Distributing Company can help you request pricing for a complete 14-inch HC pump assembly or identify replacement impellers, bronze wear rings, shaft sleeves, packing and mechanical-seal components. The motor, coupling, base and other drive components should be confirmed as part of the quotation rather than assumed to come with a frame-mounted pump.

Franklin Electric 14-Inch Frame Mount Pump Specifications

The HC family uses heavy-duty ductile-iron construction and a separately supported shaft and bearing frame. The 14-inch range has packed and mechanical shaft-seal configurations, serviceable bronze wear components, and a back pull-out arrangement. Franklin’s published HC family brochure provides up to 6,000 GPM of capacity and 450 feet of head across the combined HC 10-inch and 14-inch families. Those figures are not an operating-point rating for every 14-inch model.

Performance selection: Franklin Electric’s HC family brochure identifies 6,000 GPM as the overall family maximum; the 450-foot maximum is not a uniform 14-inch head rating. Compare the 6 × 8-14 and 10 × 10-14 performance curves at the intended speed to determine the suitable flow, total dynamic head and NPSH requirements. Maximum working pressure and permitted liquid temperature must be confirmed for the exact pump and flange configuration.

14-Inch HC Pump Models and Historic Manufacturer Ordering Numbers

The following manufacturer item numbers and weights appear in an older Franklin/FPS bearing-frame catalog. They are provided for exact-model identification and quotation requests, not as confirmation that each variant remains in current production. The older catalog includes a 4 × 6 configuration labeled HC-6X4-13 within its 14-inch ordering section. That reference is retained as published and should be reviewed against the nameplate before ordering.

Order-number guidance: In these historic model codes, -BF-P identifies the bearing-frame packing configuration and -BF-M the mechanical-seal configuration. Match the full model, manufacturer order number, nameplate and duty requirements. A nominal 14-inch designation does not establish that two pumps share the same impeller or replacement parts.

Choose the Right 14-Inch Hydraulic Size

The older catalog lists five port-size combinations, while the accessible manufacturer HC family brochure depicts the 6 × 8-14 and 10 × 10-14 operating envelopes. Large pipe connections alone do not determine pump capacity or pressure.

Provide the actual flow in gallons per minute, total dynamic head, suction conditions, available driver horsepower, proposed operating speed and liquid details. Ken’s Distributing Company can help identify the correct catalog reference for a quotation.

14-Inch Centrifugal Pump Construction and Service Features

• Ductile-iron volute and enclosed impeller: Construction suited to water-service duties when the liquid and installation meet the manufacturer’s requirements.
• External hydraulic balance line: A feature of the HC 14-inch range designed to manage hydraulic thrust.
• Double volute on selected sizes: Franklin documentation identifies the 6 × 8-14 and 10 × 10-14 configurations as using this approach to manage radial loads.
• Back pull-out design: Enables access to the rotating assembly with less disturbance of connected piping, subject to the installed drive and service clearances.
• Replaceable bronze wear rings and shaft sleeve: Support targeted repairs when the original casing and shaft are serviceable.
• Packing or mechanical seal: Select the arrangement based on the model, operating conditions and maintenance practices.
• Separate bearing frame: Allows the pump and its external drive arrangement to be specified for the installation.

Franklin Electric 14-Inch Frame Mount Replacement Parts

Buyers maintaining an HC pump may need individual components rather than a replacement assembly. Part-number mapping is specific to the hydraulic model and seal design. The uploaded description contains no OEM repair-part numbers, and a verified 14-inch parts matrix was not available in the accessible manufacturer documents. To avoid incorrect cross-model substitutions, no part numbers have been inferred from the HC 10-inch or XS 13-inch families.

When requesting a seal, impeller, wear ring or shaft component, include a photo of the pump nameplate and the figure or item number from the original parts breakdown if available. Ask us to verify the OEM part number and availability before ordering.

Performance Curves, Dimensions and Ordering Documentation

Use the source catalog for hydraulic curves, dimensional drawings, shaft and flange details, impeller trim and performance verification. For a pump-station replacement, check base dimensions, coupling alignment, piping clearances, NPSH available and the planned driver speed before confirming a model.

Applications for High-Capacity HC Frame Mount Pumps

• Agricultural irrigation mains, water transfer and distribution pumping stations
• Municipal raw-water intake and distribution where engineering review confirms suitability
• Industrial cooling-water circulation and process-water transfer
• Construction water management and appropriate dewatering operations
• Mining and large-site water transfer where pumped-fluid compatibility is established

The required GPM and head must be checked at one operating point. Impeller size, motor power, piping friction, suction conditions and selected shaft seal all affect the final configuration.

Repair Existing Pump or Request a Replacement?

• Replace a wear component: If the casing and shaft are in good condition, check whether an appropriate wear ring, packing set, mechanical seal or sleeve is available for the original pump.
• Rebuild the rotating assembly: If vibration, bearing noise or shaft damage is present, obtain the specific bearing-frame and shaft parts breakdown before estimating repair cost.
• Request a replacement pump: If the existing volute is damaged, the system duty has changed or the required parts are unavailable, provide your original HC model and the new duty point for comparison.

Request Price and Availability for Pumps or Parts

For complete pumps: Send Ken’s Distributing Company your required GPM, total dynamic head, available NPSH, liquid temperature, hydraulic connection sizes, motor/drive details, and preferred packing or mechanical-seal arrangement. Include the historic manufacturer order number if you are replacing an existing unit.

For OEM replacement parts: Send the model, serial number, parts drawing reference, original part number and a photo of the component if available. Request a pump or repair-parts quote or call 303-699-7845. We will confirm fit, price and availability before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Franklin Electric 14-inch frame mount pump used for?

It is a heavy-duty bearing-frame centrifugal pump family for engineered irrigation, industrial water transfer, municipal service and large water-circulation applications. The correct configuration depends on the required flow, head and operating speed.

Are all 14-inch models rated for 7,000 GPM?

No universal 7,000 GPM rating can be established for every HC 14-inch configuration. The existing page used that figure, while Franklin’s accessible HC family brochure quotes 6,000 GPM maximum across the HC family and shows separate 14-inch hydraulic curves. Use the specific pump’s current curve for sizing.

What is the difference between the HC 6 × 8-14 and 10 × 10-14?

The 6 × 8-14 has a 6-inch discharge and 8-inch suction, while the 10 × 10-14 uses 10-inch connections on both sides. They have different hydraulic operating envelopes and should be matched to the project duty rather than selected by connection diameter alone.

Can I order a Franklin HC pump without a motor?

Frame-mount pumps have a separate bearing-supported shaft. Confirm with Ken’s Distributing Company whether the quoted package includes the pump only, a motor, coupling, guard, baseplate or other drive components.

Does the HC 14-inch pump use packing or a mechanical seal?

Historic ordering references include both packed and mechanical-seal arrangements. The correct replacement seal or packing components must match the existing model and shaft-seal construction.

Can I replace the impeller, wear rings or shaft sleeve separately?

Those are identified service components for the HC family, but their OEM numbers must be matched to the exact model and original breakdown. Send the nameplate and parts references when requesting a quote.

What are the historical 14-inch HC order numbers?

The historical ordering table above includes five hydraulic/trim references and ten packing or mechanical-seal entries. It includes an HC-6X4-13 code cataloged alongside 14-inch listings, which should be verified before ordering.
