While the 60 Hz Pump Selection Guide doesn’t cover every conceivable configuration you may run into, it covers 5 major system factors to help you determine the right pump for your application.
Find the system layout that best represents your application using the dispenser count, pipework diameter, and visual pipework layout guide.
Review the common system characteristics.
Select the appropriate pump to achieve optimal flow rates for the number of nozzles operating simultaneously (recommendation highlighted in green).
Review the pump recommendation explanation.
Choose the specific pump model from options including base, bio-fuel compatible, and advanced protection models.
Typical systems in the guide cover configurations from 4 dispensers using 1-3/4″ piping, up to 8 dispensers using 2″ piping in both parallel and series layouts.
The guide also covers whether you need to consider variable speed, biofuel compatibility and other suggested options. Be sure to check out the 60 Hz Pump Selection Guide from Franklin Fueling Systems if you are looking for some guidance on submersible pumping systems!

The use of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel and an increase in availability of ethanol blends are contributing to the corrosion of in-sump and in-tank equipment. With a special coating and stainless steel parts the Red Armor series of Submersible Turbine Pump (STP) combats corrosive environments ensuring easy maintenance for the life of the pump.
THE RED ARMOR STP: The ultimate survivor in your fueling infrastructure.
Specialty coating on all cast surfaces that withstands acetic acid exposure to prevent pitting and deterioration over time
Stainless Steel construction on all exposed surfaces in the tank & sump space ensures easy maintenance for the life of the pump
Built upon the same field proven Red Jacket STP platform with identical sizes. Fully compatible with fielded “The Red Jacket” STP models for easy upgrade.
Corrosion Protection for Submersible Turbine Pump Sump Space
The new Sump-Dri Desiccant System is an instant in-sump solution for reducing the corrosive effects of moisture in sumps. Designed to maintain moisture- and acetic acid-free conditions in a sump space, preventing deterioration of metal surfaces, including contractor’s boxes, pumps, and conduit.
Key Features:
Ensures the safety and serviceability of your sump-space equipment
Specifically formulated to protect equipment in the STP sump from corrosive conditions
Reduces relative humidity
Neutralizes corrosive acetic acid vapors
Use alone or in conjunction with protective coatings for added insurance
Part Number: Sump-Dri Kit 330020-843 Collection Capacity: 1 gallon Operating Temperature: -4° to 150°F [-20° to 65°C] Size: 15.5″ x 15.5″ x 3.25″ Unsaturated Weight: 5.5 lbs Saturated Weight: 14 lb Desiccant: Formulated specifically to protect against corrosive acetic acid produced by biodegradation Brine:
Brine solution is collected & trapped in the reservoir to limit re-evaporation
Disposal:
Made from non-toxic and recyclable materials
Remove end cap and pour brine solution into sump liquid waste stream
Installation/Mounting:
Included mounting hardware allows Sump-Dri to be hung from STP, or other existing equipment in sump
Carabiner can be used to clip Sump-Dri to STP eyelet other sturdy equipment in the sump. Strap can also be unclipped from Sump-Dri, looped around equipment, then re-attached to the unit
Sump-Dri should be positioned as high as possible in the sump. Height can be adjusted using plastic slide on strap
Sump Requirements: For maximum effectiveness, sump should be tight and free from standing water Desiccant Life/Change Interval:
Sump-Dri expected to last 3-6 months under typical conditions
Sump-Dri will absorb differently based on humidity and temperature conditions and should be changed when desiccant in upper chamber has completely depleted
Shelf Life: 3 years under typical conditions when left in sealed barrier bag
The Red Jacket Maxxum ‘Pigtail’ connector will transition to a new UL approved connector with a black grommet. This connector change will phase in over the summer.

While it is well known in the fueling industry that Submersible Turbine Pumps (STPs) should not be exposed to water, we are occasionally asked for guidance on best practices for when underground storage tanks are water-ballasted. The attached Shared Learning document gives guidelines for dealing with STPs in water.
View the below technical bulletin for the specifics of dealing with water-ballasted tanks:
