Description
Aqua-flo Pump Wet End 2.0 HP 48 Frame XP2/XP2E 91041820-000 The
spa and pool industry use various "Frame" sizes to mount their "wet
end" or pump to. A bracket mount motor has a welded base for mounting.
These motors can be a 48 or 56 Frame. Other types of motors such as the
"C" Frame or Round Face and the Square Flange are all 56 Frame.There
are several ways to figure out the Frame size. One is to look at the
spec sheet where it says Frame (FR) it might have some letters with it
but will have 48 or 56 as the frame size. The other way to determine is
to measure the thru bolts (the 4 bolts that run thru the length of the
motor and screw onto the wet end or volute of the pump). Measure the
distance between the thru bolts, DO NOT measure diagonally but from
one bolt to the next bolt. PLEASE NOTE: AQUA-FLO
FMXP FRAME Wet ends, have two different sizes. They used 2 different
motor manufactures, Emerson and Magnetek which are different sizes.
Sundance used the Emerson from 1997-1999 on the Aqua-Flo pump they used: Pump
plumbing sizes are nominal, and not actual outside diameter (OD) of the
threaded intake and/or discharge. Use a tape measure and check your old
pump thread size against the sizing table Plumbing Size Pump Thread OD (approx.) 1.5" 2-3/8" 2.0" 3" 2.5" 3-5/8"
Determining whether your motor is a 48 or 56 Frame Motor:
48 FRAME distance between the 2 bolts is 3 5/8 inch
56 FRAME distance between the 2 bolts is 4 1/8 inch
Because all manufactures do not call all things the same this is the best way to tell the Frame size.
EMERSON MOTORS: Distance between the 2 bolts is 4 inch
MAGNETEK MOTORS: Distance between the 2 bolts is 4 1/8 inch
