BURKS
SUPER
TURBINE
THE INSIDE STORY
The Burks Super Turbine unit is recog-
nized as one of the finest engineered
pumps available. It is designed for large
capacities at high pressure, and for great-
est possible efficiency.
The bronze impeller and raceway are
the heart of the Burks Super Turbine
pump. The unique mounting of the ball
bearing on a solid stainless steel shaft
eliminates the use of an internal pump
bearing, and also permits very accurate
adjustment between impeller and race-
way.
This adjustment is the famous Life-
Lok feature which adds years of extra
service under normal operating condi-
tions. It permits readjustment to compen-
sate for normal wear after years of service.
The impeller is the only moving part
in the pump, and there is no metal-to-
metal contact to cause wear.
----------- 3 -----------
Burks Super Turbine Pumps Series 11C and
12C are equipped with combined check valve
and strainer, and automatic two pole pres-
sure switch with manual ON-OFF control.
Motors are repulsion-induction type with
built-in overload protection. All units are
regularly furnished with bronze impeller and
raceway, stainless steel shaft, special split
type packing gland, and channel iron base.
Both series can be furnished in all bronze
construction-suitable for handling brine
solutions, alcohol and vinegar.

BURKS DUAL PUMP INSTALLATION
Under certain peak load conditions which
exist at motels, restaurants, and on farms,
it is sometimes desirable to have a Burks
Series C Dual System installation as illus-
trated. One pumping unit is set to operate
at pressures slightly lower than the other,
and as a result both pumps
will operate
together only during peak load periods.
A dual pump installation provides the
additional advantage of having emer-
gency standby equipment. When installed
as illustrated, one pumping unit may
be completely disconnected from the
system without disturbing the other unit.
----------- 6 -----------
SERIES 14C
• A complete, self-contained
water system-factory as-
sembled, thoroughly tested,
shipped complete in one
crate.
• Exceptionally compact-
ideal for small homes, sum-
mer cottages, service sta-
tions, or any installation
where space is limited.
----------- 7 -----------
SERIES E
FOR SHALLOW WELLS
• This is the famous Burks Super Turbine
available as an independent pumping unit
with or without motor.
• Adapted for general use with condensation
return units, circulating systems, booster
service and water systems. Will also handle
many other requirements.
• Self-priming-only one moving part-has the
famous Life-Lok feature for greater effi-
ciency and longer life.
• Can be furnished in all bronze construction,
suitable for handling brine, alcohol, vinegar
and wines.
• Designed for maximum operating speed of
1800 rpm.
• Regularly furnished with bronze impeller and
raceway, stainless steel shaft, strainer with
bronze screen, and mounted on channel iron
base.

PUMPS AND WATER SYSTEMS
FOR HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL INSTALLATIONS
The Burks HV Centrifugal Series is a crowning achievement of
four decades of advanced pump design and engineering.
MS
Outstanding in design and performance, the HV Series can be
used either horizontally or vertically-without any mechanical
changes-depending only on installation requirements or individ-
ual preference.
Designed, engineered and built for top efficiency and perform-
ance, the Burks HV Series incorporates many outstanding features
which make it one of the finest engineered pumps built.
----------- 9 -----------
The Burks Series N is the HV pumping unit modi-
fied to provide an independent pump. Incorporat-
ing many of the outstanding HV features, Series N
may be used for irrigating, dewatering, or other
centrifugal applications. It may also be used with
educer as a regular deep well pumping unit (see
installation drawing on Page 44). Designed for
