Submersible Turbine Pumps

Since the mid-1950s, Franklin Electric, the parent company of Franklin Fueling Systems, has been involved in the design and manufacture of submersible motors for use in pumping liquids. Building on this extensive history, FFS has contributed innovative product designs for submersible pumps into the twenty-first century. Marketers concerned about fuelling times, efficiency, serviceability, reliability and overall quality find it an easy choice to specify FE Petro products from FFS.

Consider these unique FE Petro product features to improve the profitability of your retail operations:

ADVANTAGES

Faster Fuelling Times
With innovations like MagShellTM, FE Petro products set the standard for submersible pump performance.

Active Air Eliminator
FE Petro products come standard with active air elimination, which eliminates air through the highest point in the pump head at all times when the pump is running, assuring air does not pass into discharge piping.

Safety and Ease of Maintenance
FE Petro STPs include a contractor electrical disconnect, which requires loosening only one bolt, allowing motor wiring to be disconnected without venting the dangerous tank vapours into the sump when servicing FE Petro submersible products.

Simple Servicing
If ever required, the pump can be easily removed from the tank by unthreading three bolts. There is no need to disconnect the syphon system or to remove the leak detector from the system to service the STP.

ADVANTAGES

Manual Pressure Relief
A standard FE Petro feature. A vent screw is provided to bleed line pressure to zero when necessary. By turning this screw, product is diverted back to the tank, dropping line pressure to zero. This reduces fuel discharged into the sump manhole or dispenser pan during servicing, further protecting service technicians and the environment.

Reliable Check Valve
The STP uses FE Petro’s proven line check valve. At 70mm in diameter, this valve reduces pressure loss at high flow rates resulting in faster fuelling times.

Variable Length
The VL2 pump fits 94% of all known tank diameters and tank bury depth combinations. The VL1 and VL3 are available to handle installations shorter or longer than this range. The telescoping connection is a patented FE Petro feature. Pump length can be set by making one simple measurement and setting the pump length without affecting the listing of the pump.

NOTES
1. Effective tank diameter (ETD) = Inside tank diameter (to top of 4" bung), including tank manway and/or sump adapter.
2. Model length (A) = ETD plus riser length minus bottom clearance minus 25.4 mm thread engagement.
3. Riser length (B) = Bury depth (to top of tank) minus pump head clearance minus tank manway and/or minus sump adapter.
