FAOT Series Frame Mount Centrifugal Pump

Technical Product Description:

The Franklin Electric FAOT Series Frame Mount Centrifugal Pump is a frame-mounted centrifugal pump designed for dependable liquid handling in commercial, agricultural, and general industrial service. Franklin Electric lists the FAOT Series for applications such as water circulation, booster service, liquid transfer, spraying systems, jockey pump duty, and general service.  

Franklin specifies that the FAOT Series features a cast iron volute that can be rotated for easier installation, with tapped openings for venting and draining to simplify setup and service. The pump uses an open face cast iron impeller intended for solids handling, which makes it a practical option where some solids tolerance is beneficial.  

The standard seal construction includes carbon/ceramic faces, BUNA or nitrile elastomers, and 300 series stainless steel components, depending on how the model details are presented across Franklin listings. Franklin also notes that the FAOT Series includes a bearing frame for belt or direct drive, and that the pump can be mounted in either a vertical or horizontal position, providing flexibility for different installations.  

Franklin’s published model information shows examples such as the FAOT-4 and FAOT-6, with FNPT threaded suction and discharge connections. Published dimensional and catalog data also indicate capacities up to about 120 GPM, heads up to about 85 feet, and working pressures up to 120 psi, depending on the exact model selected.
