Franklin FPS-4A 70 LPM 240V Three-Wire Bore Pump – Complete Pump, Motor & Starter Box

Franklin FPS-4A 70 LPM 240V Three-Wire Bore Pump – Complete Pump, Motor & Starter Box

The Franklin Electric FPS-4A is a complete 4-inch submersible bore pump package designed for applications requiring strong water flow across moderate to high pumping heads.

Suitable for stock watering, tank filling, irrigation, domestic water supply and general rural water systems, the FPS-4A range has a nominal duty flow of 70 litres per minute. Five motor and stage configurations are available to suit different pumping levels, elevations and pressure requirements.

Available Variants

Increasing the number of stages increases the available pumping head. Select the correct model using the required flow and total dynamic head—not bore depth alone.

What Is Included

• Franklin FPS 4400 Tri-Seal pump end

• Franklin 240V single-phase three-wire submersible motor

• Matched Franklin capacitor starter box

Electrical cable must be sized according to the selected motor, total cable distance, voltage drop and installation conditions. Cable selection and electrical installation must be confirmed by a licensed electrician.

Selecting the Correct Model

Total dynamic head must account for the pumping water level, bore drawdown, vertical elevation, required outlet pressure and friction losses through the pipework, valves and fittings.

The 70 LPM rating identifies the pump family and is not a guaranteed output under every installation condition. Actual performance depends on the selected model and operating head.

Contact The Pump Shed Australia with your bore depth, pumping water level, elevation, pipe size, pipe length, required flow and required pressure if you need assistance selecting the appropriate model.

FPS-4A - 70 LPM Range

How to read the FPS-4A three-wire table: Flow is shown across the top in litres per minute (LPM). Each number in the table is the approximate total head in metres that the listed FPS-4A three-wire model can produce at that flow. Only points inside the blue 46-94 LPM best-efficiency/warranty zone are shown; operation outside this zone is not covered by warranty.
