Berkeley C Series Lawn/Irrigation Pumps Buyers Guide & Review
The Berkeley C series pumps are compact, horizontal, single stage centrifugal pumps designed for general home or farm irrigation, air conditioning and refrigeration. Each pump is comprised of a gray cast iron body/base, a cast iron bracket, a silicon bronze impeller, and a threaded stainless steel shaft.
Readily accessible bolts in a back pull-out design allow for easy maintenance without disturbing the piping.
Features:
- Carefully manufactured with materials best suited for water pump applications to ensure long life and dependability
- Sturdy cast iron bracket houses seal and maintains positive alignment between motor and volute case
- Volute case with NPT tapped openings for suction and discharge
- Standard discharge position is horizontal
- Volute may be rotated for vertical-up discharge
- Enclosed multi-vane silicon bronze impeller is balanced to eliminate vibration and provide smooth, quiet operation
- Impeller is threaded on motor shaft for positive alignment
- Self-adjusting, water-cooled, mechanical shaft seal prevents leakage and eliminates need for drain piping
- Run-in and periodic adjustment is not required
- Stainless steel motor shaft is threaded for direct mounting of impeller. Shaft extension to impeller is short to increase shaft rigidity and to extend bearing life
- Heavy-duty and flange-mounted motor designed for continuous 3,600 RPM operation.
- Two ball bearings are permanently lubricated, eliminating the need for re-lubrication service. Open, drip-proof enclosures are standard.
