Stainless Steel Multistage pumps for high efficiency and superior performance for flows up to 115 m³/h (50 Hz), 140 m³/h (60 Hz)

Franklin Electric Vertical multistage pumps are the silent partner of your daily life. The pumps are available in different metallurgies (Cast Iron, 304SS, 316SS) and in different head and flow rates.

Robustness and reliability have been further improved with new components. The new design features simplified handling thanks to the new cartridge mechanical seal and reduced noise emissions, making the pump the ideal solution for any pressure boosting application.
