Bronze Impeller Note
This version of the Burks 21971 wet end kit is supplied with a
bronze impeller. Bronze is commonly selected for commercial and industrial
pump applications where a more durable metal impeller is preferred over a plastic impeller.
Full Diameter Impeller Note
Important: Burks wet end kits are supplied with a
full diameter impeller. Some complete Burks pump models use a trimmed
impeller for a specific horsepower, flow, or head condition. Confirm the required impeller
diameter before using the kit to replace or build a pump for a specific duty point.
Applications
The Burks 21971-6.25 wet end kit is used for commercial and industrial centrifugal pump
repair, replacement, and pump-building applications where the wet end is matched to the
correct Burks pump model family, motor frame, and service conditions.
Common application areas include:
- Commercial and industrial liquid transfer
- General water transfer and circulation
- Process water movement
- Condensate handling applications when pump materials and conditions are suitable
- Boiler room support equipment and packaged system replacement work
- Laundry, dry cleaning, and commercial plant maintenance applications
- OEM replacement, equipment rebuilds, and maintenance shop repairs
- Retrofit projects where the existing motor can be reused
- Custom pump assemblies built with a compatible customer-supplied motor
Final pump selection should always be based on the required flow, head, motor horsepower,
fluid temperature, fluid compatibility, seal requirements, impeller material, and operating
conditions.
Key Features
- Complete hydraulic wet end kit for Burks G6-1-1/2 pump applications
- Designed for use with a compatible 143-184JM motor frame
- Supplied with a 6.25" full diameter bronze impeller
- Can rebuild an existing pump end without replacing the motor
- Can be used when building a pump assembly with a separately sourced motor
- Useful for pump repair, maintenance, rebuild, retrofit, and OEM-style replacement work
Installation & Fitment Notes
Confirm the existing pump model, Burks series, discharge size, motor frame, and application
requirements before ordering. This wet end kit is intended for Burks G6-1-1/2
applications using a 143-184JM motor frame.
If the kit is being used with a separately sourced motor, the motor must match the required
frame, mounting, shaft, horsepower, speed, voltage, phase, and service conditions for the
intended pump application.
Because this kit is supplied with a 6.25" full diameter impeller, performance may differ from a
complete pump model that was originally supplied with a trimmed impeller. Match the pump to
the required operating point before installation.
