Franklin FPS-16A 270 LPM 415V Three-Phase Bore Pump – Complete Pump & Motor

The Franklin FPS-16A is a complete 4-inch submersible bore pump and three-phase motor combination designed for higher-flow water-supply duties around 270 LPM (16 m³/h).

With five motor and stage combinations available, the FPS-16A range covers lower-head bulk-water transfer through to demanding high-pressure bore-water installations.

Suitable applications include agricultural irrigation, large stock-watering systems, rapid tank filling, commercial water transfer and general high-flow bore-water supply where three-phase power is available.

Available Models

All variants belong to the FPS-16A 270 LPM hydraulic range. Higher-stage models provide greater pressure and pumping head.

What Is Included

• Franklin FPS-16A multistage bore-pump end

• Franklin three-phase submersible motor

• Built-in check valve

• Electrical splice kit

• Complete pump and motor combination

Three-Phase Starter Required

A correctly rated three-phase starter or control panel is required to operate this pump safely.

The starter must match the selected motor size and provide appropriate overload and motor protection. It must be installed and commissioned by a licensed electrician.

The three-phase starter/control panel is not included with the pump and must be purchased separately.

Features

• Complete Franklin pump and motor combination

• 270 LPM nominal flow range

• Five motor and stage combinations available

• Multistage design for different pressure and head requirements

• Built-in non-return check valve

• Electrical splice kit included

• Suitable for agricultural, irrigation and commercial bore-water applications

• Designed for installations where three-phase power is available

Optional Add-Ons

• Correctly sized three-phase starter or control panel

• Dry-run and bore water-level protection

• Submersible electrical cable

• Bore cap or bore head

• Stainless-steel safety cable

• Rising main, pipe fittings and valves

• Tank-level controls

• Pressure tank and pressure controls where required

Selecting the Correct Model

The correct model must be selected according to the required flow and total dynamic head—not bore depth alone.

Total dynamic head should account for:

• Pumping water level

• Vertical lift from the pumping water level to the discharge point

• Required outlet pressure

• Pipe length and diameter

• Friction losses through pipes, fittings and valves

• Elevation changes

• Required flow rate

If you are unsure which model is suitable, contact The Pump Shed Australia with your bore depth, pumping water level, pipe size, delivery distance, elevation and required pressure or flow.

We can help identify the most appropriate pump and motor combination for your installation.

Important Performance and Sizing Information

Flow rates are manufacturer figures. Actual flow and pressure will vary depending on pumping water level, total system pressure, pipe diameter and length, elevation, system design, fittings, valves, water conditions, power supply and installation.

All performance information is provided as a general selection guide only and is not a guarantee of actual on-site performance. Correct system design, pump selection and installation are essential.

Nothing in this product information excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy available under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded or modified.

FPS-16A - 270 LPM Range

How to read the FPS-16A 415V table: Flow is shown across the top in litres per minute (LPM). Each number in the table is Franklin's published total head in metres for the listed FPS-16A three-phase model at that flow. Only points inside the blue 170-340 LPM best-efficiency/warranty zone are shown; operation outside this zone is not covered by warranty.
