Burks 3CR6M-FE Regenerative Turbine Pump – 1/3 HP Bronze 1/2" NPT
The Burks 3CR6M-FE regenerative turbine pump is engineered for demanding high-head, low-flow applications where consistent pressure and reliability are critical. Built with a durable all-bronze construction and a precision-engineered bronze impeller with Monel blades, this pump delivers long service life even in continuous-duty environments. Its close-coupled design eliminates alignment issues and improves installation efficiency.
Powered by a 1/3 HP, 230V single-phase motor running at 3450 RPM, the 3CR6M-FE is ideal for clean water and low-viscosity fluids. With 1/2" NPT suction and discharge ports, it is compact yet capable of delivering high-pressure performance up to industrial standards.
This pump is widely used across HVAC systems, boiler feed circulation, cooling loops, industrial cleaning systems, and booster applications. Its regenerative turbine design ensures smooth, steady flow even under fluctuating system pressure conditions.
