Burks 22609-9.00 Wet End Kit 9.00 in Impeller for G9-2
This is the factory wet end kit Burks lists as part 22609-9.00, covering G9-2 pumps with a 9.00 in impeller. It replaces the parts that actually touch the pumped liquid, leaving the motor in place.
Wear in a centrifugal pump is spread across several parts at once. The impeller loses vane tip material, the wear ring clearance opens up, the casing gasket hardens and the mechanical seal reaches the end of its travel. Replacing one of them while the others carry on worn gives back only a share of the lost performance, which is the argument for doing the whole wet end at once.
Check the model and the impeller size before ordering. Burks builds these kits to a specific pump model and impeller diameter, 9.00 in impeller here, because the same casing family covers several duty points. The pump nameplate carries the model designation you need, and this kit is listed for G9-2.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need the pump nameplate to order correctly?
It is the safest starting point, because the kit is model specific. If the plate is missing or painted over, the casing casting numbers and the old impeller diameter together will usually identify the pump.
Q: What should I check on the motor while the wet end is off?
Spin the shaft by hand and feel for roughness in the bearings, check the shaft for a groove where the old seal ran, and look for signs of past leakage tracking back toward the motor. Fitting a new wet end onto a worn shaft shortens the life of the new seal.
Q: How long does a wet end kit normally last?
On clean liquid with a flooded suction, years. Abrasive solids, frequent dry starts and cavitation all cut that sharply, and in those conditions many operators keep a kit on the shelf rather than waiting for the failure.
Q: Will the rebuilt pump match its original performance curve?
It should, provided the suction conditions and the impeller diameter are the same as when it was new. The kit returns the internal clearances to factory dimensions, which is what the published curve assumes.
