Overview
The D-Series is Franklin Electric’s close-coupled end suction pump for irrigation, commercial, construction, municipal and general service. It has a heavy-duty cast iron body, NPT connections and clockwise rotation viewed from the motor end. Pumps to 2 HP use 56C frame motors with a shaft coupling for easy removal; larger pumps use JM frame motors with a shaft sleeve and O-ring that protect the shaft.
This listing is the DBL2 NPT: 2 in discharge by 3 in suction, NPT connections, 1/2-1-1/2 HP at 1,800 RPM. It is not self-priming: run it with flooded suction or a foot valve and a full suction line.
- Heavy-duty cast iron body
- 56C motors with removable shaft coupling to 2 HP; JM motors with shaft sleeve above
- Carbon/ceramic mechanical seal, nitrile elastomers, 300 series stainless parts
- Single- or three-phase, ODP or TEFC on selected models
- TEFC builds to 2 HP use a motor one size up for service factor
What Ships and What It Needs to Run
Included: the pump end and its 56C motor (1/3-2 HP) or JM motor (3 HP and up), close-coupled and assembled at the factory, with the impeller trimmed for the motor selected above.
Motor starter or overload protection required, ordered separately. Motors without built-in protection need a contactor and thermal overloads, sized to the motor’s full-load amps.
Suction and discharge piping, valves and gauges: sized to your installation; the suction pipe is the pump’s suction size or larger, with a foot valve where the pump sits above the water.
Genuine Franklin Electric equipment, factory-new in original packaging — sold and supported by Watermain Supply, an independent industrial supplier.
Franklin Electric Limited Warranty
Covered by Franklin Electric’s limited warranty for 1 year from installation or 2 years from manufacture, whichever comes first, when installed in clean, potable water applications; the warranty does not cover saltwater or other corrosive liquids (End Suction Centrifugal owner’s manual 106107101).

Performance — Will It Do What You Need?
Pick the row for your motor size, then read the pressure the pump adds at your flow. Shut-off heads run 18-41 ft and the curves end at 104-154 GPM.

Digitized from the published impeller curves in the Franklin Electric D-Series Catalog Mi4058 (p. 22; vector data) and rounded down; PSI shown, feet = PSI × 2.31. Shut-off is the pressure at zero flow, the most the pump adds to its suction pressure. Each row is the impeller trim Franklin pairs with that motor size. Where a curve ends before the last column, its last point is shown in bold with its flow. The full curves are in the image gallery.
Before You Buy — The Limits That Decide the Fit
| Water |
Clean water; Franklin’s warranty excludes saltwater and corrosive liquids |
| Suction |
Not self-priming: flooded suction, or a foot valve with the suction line full |
| Pressure |
The pump adds pressure to its suction pressure; keep the total under 150 PSI |
| Power |
115/230V 1Ph, 208-230/460V 3Ph; starter or overloads by others |
| Temperature |
212 °F maximum |
| Pairing |
Single pump; for more flow at the same head, step up a size in the series |
