XS Series Key Features

• Frame-mount construction: Separate pump bearing support allows selection of a compatible external drive arrangement. A motor is not necessarily included with a frame-mount pump.
• Cast iron volute: Heavy-duty construction with a back-pullout design and rotatable casing for installation and service access.
• Enclosed impellers: The 9-inch series uses cast iron, double-keyed impellers; the 13-inch series is described with hydraulically balanced stainless steel impellers in Franklin’s frame-mount overview.
• Seal choices: Packed box or mechanical seal versions, depending on the model. Mechanical-seal literature lists carbon/ceramic faces and nitrile elastomers for the XS series.
• Drive flexibility: Bearing-frame models and selected 9-inch hydraulic configurations with SAE B-fit and SAE C-fit connections.
• Rotation: Both clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise (CCW) variants exist in the 9-inch ordering table; the six 13-inch models listed below are clockwise-facing-shaft configurations.
• Service components: Replaceable shaft sleeves, external bearing-grease fittings, mechanical seals, packing and shaft replacement kits for applicable 9-inch configurations.
• Mounting: The manufacturer’s XS Series overview describes vertical or horizontal mounting; final orientation and drive alignment must match the selected model and installation manual.

XS Series Technical Specifications

Published series maximum performance values are reference limits. Maximum flow, maximum head and maximum pressure are separate design ratings and must not be assumed to occur at the same duty point. Consult the model-specific pump curve, installed speed and impeller trim before selecting equipment.

9-Inch vs. 13-Inch XS Frame Mount Pumps

9-Inch XS Series Ordering Information: XS439 and XS869

The following ordering table covers 30 configurations of 9-inch pumps: 24 XS439 (3 x 4 – 9) versions and six XS869 (6 x 8 – 9) versions. Confirm model code, pump-size designation, CW/CCW rotation, packed versus mechanical seal, connection style, and whether an SAE B/C hydraulic fit is needed. Selected item numbers link to the corresponding model-specific product pages.

Impeller trim: Non-standard impeller trim may carry an additional charge. Hydraulic fits: SAE B-fit refers to a 13-tooth, 16/32-inch pitch, 30° pressure-angle involute spline. SAE C-fit refers to a 14-tooth, 12/24-inch pitch, 30° pressure-angle involute spline. Confirm coupling and hydraulic motor fit before ordering.

13-Inch XS Series Ordering Information: XS4313, XS6413H and XS8613

The six 13-inch configurations below are part of the same XS frame-mount series, but have different pump sizes and flanged connections. Franklin Electric lists these frame-mount configurations with ANSI 125 flanged connections. Item numbers link to the dedicated product pages.

Important: The above 13-inch ordering list is for frame-mount models. JP motor speeds and ODP/TEFC motor enclosure options mentioned in the broader XS product literature should not be interpreted as motors included with these six bare frame-mount item numbers. For complete electric motor assemblies, inspect the separate XS Series close-coupled pump options.

Use the dimensional drawing together with the detailed table below. Dimensions are in inches and are for estimating purposes only. The listed rows cover 3 x 4 – 9 and 6 x 8 – 9 frame and hydraulic configurations, including SAE B-fit and SAE C-fit variants.

The drawing notes specify: SAE B-fit, 13 teeth and 16/32-inch spline pitch; SAE C-fit, 14 teeth and 12/24-inch pitch, both with 30° pressure angle. For 13-inch models, request their separate dimensional drawings and verify footprint and flange sizes before installation.

XS Series Performance Curves and Pump Sizing

View the Franklin Electric XS Series performance curves (PDF) for the applicable 9-inch pump size and operating conditions. Use the individual pump’s curve, required flow (GPM), total dynamic head, fluid characteristics, drive speed, impeller trim and NPSH allowance for selection. Do not size an XS439 by the maximum capacity figure published for the wider XS family.

How to Select the Right XS Frame Mount Model

1. Choose pump size: Match the desired flow and total dynamic head to the applicable 3 x 4, 4 x 6, or 6 x 8 performance curve and nominal impeller family.
2. Confirm drive style: Specify conventional bearing-frame or hydraulic drive where offered. For hydraulic variants, verify the precise SAE B/C interface and operating speed range.
3. Verify rotation: Read CW/CCW from the exact ordering row, using the listed facing-shaft reference point. The drive must match the pump.
4. Select seals: Packing and mechanical-seal models are distinct; confirm service fluid, seal elastomers and maintenance requirements.
5. Match connections: Confirm NPT, grooved or ANSI 125 flanged connections and pipe size for the model.
6. Check repair history: For older XS pumps, use the full model number and production details to identify the correct shaft, lip seals, bearings and replacement kit.

XS Series Applications

• Water trucks and dust control: Configurable 9-inch XS439 pumps for tanker spray systems and truck-mounted hydraulic or belt drives.
• Agricultural irrigation: Large-volume field water transfer, distribution, and systems using appropriately selected impeller trim and drive speed.
• Construction and mining: Jobsite water transfer and controlled dewatering where fluid properties are compatible with the selected pump materials.
• Commercial and municipal water transfer: Serviceable frame-mount centrifugal designs for managed facilities and utility operations.
• Industrial water systems: Process or utility-water transfer after confirming materials, duty point, seal selection and temperature requirements.

XS Frame Mount vs. XS Close-Coupled Pumps

A frame-mount XS pump has an independently supported shaft and can be configured around a separately selected drive system; some 9-inch models are offered with hydraulic motor mounting/coupling interfaces. A close-coupled XS pump is a pump and electric motor assembly with a different order number. These product types may share hydraulic family characteristics but are not interchangeable without reviewing mounting and drive details. For an electric motor pump assembly, compare Franklin Electric XS Series close-coupled pumps.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Franklin Electric XS Series frame mount centrifugal pump?

It is a family of centrifugal pumps with separate shaft/bearing support for connection to an appropriate external drive. This page covers 9-inch XS439/XS869 models and 13-inch XS4313/XS6413H/XS8613 configurations.

What is the difference between the 9-inch and 13-inch XS Series?

The 9-inch frame-mount family uses an enclosed cast iron impeller and includes several bearing-frame and hydraulic-drive variants. The 13-inch family includes larger flanged pump sizes and hydraulically balanced stainless steel impellers in the manufacturer’s frame-mount literature. Select by the operating curve rather than nominal impeller size alone.

Are XS pumps supplied with electric motors?

The frame-mount model numbers on this page do not automatically include a motor. Confirm the specific motor, coupling, engine or hydraulic drive separately. Franklin Electric also lists distinct close-coupled XS electric-motor assemblies.

Can an XS Series frame mount pump run clockwise or counterclockwise?

Both directions are represented among the 9-inch XS439 ordering configurations. The six 13-inch frame-mount models listed on this page are clockwise configurations. Always check the selected item’s full model designation and rotation convention.

What is the difference between packed and mechanical seals?

Packed boxes use adjustable packing around a shaft sleeve and require appropriate maintenance and lubrication. Mechanical-seal models use dedicated sealing faces and elastomers. Replacement components and installation procedures differ; order parts for the precise seal arrangement.

Can I use the same repair parts for the XS439 and XS869?

Not necessarily. The original parts tables contain both shared and model-specific components, along with differences for bearing-frame and hydraulic configurations. Confirm the part number from the correct model column, figure, and production date.

Where can I find XS Series water truck pump configurations?

For water-truck-specific model selection, see Franklin Electric water truck pumps. This page covers the broader XS frame-mount pump family, including 13-inch models and repair references.
