Overview
A complete 45VR or 45VRL pump end — casing, stack, seal and motor mount — without the motor. The pump end carries the thrust load on its own oversized bearing, so it runs on stock NEMA motors in a wide range of ratings and enclosures; special high-thrust motors are not required.
This size is the G version: cast iron casing and upper flange with 316 stainless steel hydraulics. 30, 45, 65 and 95VR pumps carry two rotatable steel flanges with oval-shaped bolt holes that fit both DIN and ANSI flanges.
What Ships and What It Needs to Run
Included: the pump end only: casing, hydraulic stack, cartridge seal and motor mount, without motor.
Motor, companion flanges and starter or drive: ordered separately. The selector shows the motor horsepower and NEMA C-face frame each pump end needs.
Genuine Franklin Electric equipment, factory-new in original packaging — sold and supported by Watermain Supply, an independent industrial supplier.
1-Year Franklin Electric Warranty
Covered by Franklin Electric’s limited warranty for 1 year from the date of original purchase by the consumer (VR Series manual 106821101).

Performance — Will It Do What You Need?
Pick the speed that matches your motor (45VR at 3,600 RPM on a 2-pole motor, 45VRL at 1,800 RPM on a 4-pole motor), then the stage count that gives the pressure you need at your flow. The motor horsepower shown is the size the pump end needs.

Digitized from the published curves in the Franklin Electric VR Series Catalog Mi9041 (45VR p. 44; 45VRL p. 92; vector data) and rounded down; feet of head = PSI × 2.31. Each curve was read on the feet scale and checked against the metric scale of the same chart (within 3%). Franklin prints no head or flow table for the VR Series. 45VR curves end at 342 GPM, 45VRL curves at 176 GPM. The 0 GPM column is the shut-off pressure, the most the pump adds to its inlet pressure. Motor HP is the motor Franklin pairs with that pump end. Bold = the last point on that model’s curve. — = beyond the end of that model’s published curve. Franklin does not publish curves for 45VRL021AGF1A, 45VRL031AGF1A, 45VRL041AGF1A, 45VRL051AGF1A, 45VRL061AGF1A, 45VRL071AGF1A, 45VRL081AGF1A, 45VRL091AGF1A, 45VRL101AGF1A, 45VRL111AGF1A, 45VRL121AGF1A, 45VRL131AGF1A; ask us for their performance.
Before You Buy — The Limits That Decide the Fit
| Pressure |
Inlet pressure plus the shut-off pressure (0 GPM column) must stay within the 230 PSI (PN16) or 460 PSI (PN25/40) flange rating of your build |
| Suction |
Available NPSH must exceed the pump’s NPSH required at your maximum flow (curve pages in the catalog) |
| Liquid |
Ratings are for clean water, +14 to +248 °F; ask us before ordering for another liquid, viscosity or specific gravity |
| Flanges |
Companion flanges are required to adapt to threaded pipe and are ordered separately |
| Rotation |
Clockwise looking down from the top; check three-phase rotation before running |
| Motor |
A NEMA C-face motor of the frame, horsepower and speed in the selector; 2-pole for 45VR, 4-pole for 45VRL |
