FEATURES
Exceeds US Department of Energy regulations 10 CFR 429 and 431
Discharge sizes range from 1-1/2”-6”
Suction sizes range from 2”-8”
Pump efficiencies up to 85%1 Flat mounting plate restricts vibration during

due to cracking or fractures.
Berkeley B3ZRM bracket
PENTAIR BERKELEY PROVIDES
Technical, engineering and aftermarket U.S. based support
Robust designs with over 30 years of reliability
Up to 20% higher discharge pressures2, providing wider and further spray
coverage when compared to competitors A and B
2 Discharge pressures as measured at Best Efficiency Point (BEP) of the Pentair Berkeley B3ZRM
Individually handled components from start to finish ensuring the highest quality
Trained assemblers build pumps from individual components, check assembly Features four individual mounting points, spreading
out the load, greatly reducing the likelihood of
tolerances, component quality and overall pump assembly integrity
cracks or fractures from the vibration of the pump
Hydrostatically tested pumps and water truck.
Competitor B’s comparable “B3ZRM” impeller
KEY DURABILITY AND RELIABILITY FEATURES
Lower required operating speed prolongs bearing life and reduces down time
Casing has greater wall thickness at the discharge exit area for increased
durability and reliability
Reliable performance and operation due to high standards for design and
manufacturing
Thinner veins, sharper radii – design has higher
likelihood of earlier failures due to wear and
potential fractures or cracking.
Berkeley B3ZRM impeller
Strong, robust design with thicker veins, thicker
radii and four individual mounting points for
increased durability and reliability.
