Noryl Impeller Note
This version of the Burks 23286 wet end kit is supplied with a
Noryl plastic impeller. A Noryl impeller may be suitable for certain
clean-water, corrosion-sensitive, or cost-sensitive applications where the pumped liquid,
temperature, and service conditions are compatible.
For higher-temperature, harsher-duty, abrasive, or boiler room applications, confirm whether
a bronze impeller version is the better choice before ordering.
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 23286-N-4.97 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:
- Clean-water transfer applications
- Commercial and industrial liquid transfer
- General water transfer and circulation
- Process water movement where Noryl is compatible with the fluid
- Corrosion-sensitive applications where a non-metallic impeller is preferred
- Light-duty maintenance repairs and pump rebuilds
- OEM replacement and equipment repair work
- 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 GA5-1-1/4 pump applications
- Designed for use with a compatible 56J motor frame
- Supplied with a full diameter Noryl plastic 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 compatible 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 GA5-1-1/4
applications using a 56J 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 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.
The Noryl impeller version should only be used where the fluid, temperature, and operating
conditions are suitable for a plastic impeller. For demanding industrial, hot-water,
condensate, or boiler room conditions, review the application before selecting the Noryl
version.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Burks wet end kit is the hydraulic pump-end assembly used to rebuild or replace the liquid-handling end of a centrifugal pump without replacing the motor.
What pump model family does wet end kit 23286-N-4.97 fit?
This kit fits the Burks GA5-1-1/4 model family.
What motor frame size is this kit used with?
Burks wet end kit 23286-N-4.97 is used with a 56J motor frame.
What is the difference between 23286-4.97 and 23286-N-4.97?
The 23286-4.97 version is supplied with a bronze impeller. The 23286-N-4.97 version is supplied with a Noryl plastic impeller.
When would a Noryl impeller be used?
A Noryl impeller may be used for certain clean-water, corrosion-sensitive, or cost-sensitive applications where the fluid, temperature, and service conditions are compatible.
Is the Noryl impeller version recommended for hot condensate or boiler room service?
Not automatically. For higher-temperature, harsher-duty, condensate, or boiler room applications, confirm whether the bronze impeller version is more appropriate before ordering.
Can this kit be used to build a pump with my own motor?
Yes. This kit can be used with a compatible motor when the Burks pump model family, motor frame, horsepower, speed, and application requirements are properly matched.
Does this kit include a trimmed impeller?
No. Burks wet end kits are supplied with a full diameter impeller. Some complete pump models use trimmed impellers for specific flow and head conditions.
What is included in the kit?
The kit includes the Noryl plastic impeller, cast iron casing, standard carbon/ceramic/Buna mechanical seal, Buna O-ring, slinger washer, pipe plugs, and hardware.
