Dayton 5K660 1/2 HP Jet Pump Motor
The Dayton 5K660 is a 1/2 horsepower jet pump motor built for residential and light commercial water systems. It uses a capacitor-start design with ball bearings and Class B insulation. The motor carries a standard efficient rating and operates on 60 Hz power. A dripcover kit for vertical mounting is included in the package.
56J C-Frame Open Dripproof Motor for Vertical Pumps
This unit suits installers replacing a 56J C-face motor on an existing jet pump where an open dripproof enclosure is specified. The 5.6 inch body diameter and included dripcover support vertical shaft-up or shaft-down orientation. Buyers who need a totally enclosed fan-cooled design or a different frame size should look at other models.
Fits 56J C-Face Mounts with 9.0 / 4.5 Full Load Amps
The motor bolts directly to a 56J C-face pump housing and draws 9.0 amps at low voltage or 4.5 amps at high voltage. Its open dripproof enclosure allows airflow for cooling while the dripcover shields the windings from falling water. The 40 degrees Celsius maximum ambient temperature rating matches typical pump house conditions.

Questions about this item
What voltage supply and phase does the 5K660 motor require for the 9.0 / 4.5 amp rating?
The nameplate shows full-load amps of 9.0 at the lower voltage and 4.5 at the higher voltage on a 60 Hz single-phase supply.
Will the 56J C-face mount directly to my existing pump seal plate?
Yes, the NEMA 56J frame and C-face bolt pattern match standard jet-pump seal plates.
How can I confirm the motor is running within its thermal limits after installation?
Measure the winding temperature rise; it must stay within the Class B insulation limit at a maximum ambient of 40 °C.
