What Ships and What It Needs to Run

Included: the 21000 Series J - 5 GPM pump end with its built-in check valve.

Motor required, ordered separately: a Baker 4 in motor of the same horsepower. Part numbers for the 230V motors are in the motor table under Models & Performance.

And the motor’s control: two-wire motors need none; single-phase three-wire motors need a control box; three-phase motors need a starter kit.

Overview

The 21000 Series J - 5 GPM pump end is the hydraulic end of Baker’s 21000 Series 4 in submersible pump, sold without the motor. It mounts on a NEMA 4 in Baker motor of the same horsepower, to build a new pump or rebuild one in the field.

Baker builds the stack with its captured stack design: sand notches in the diffusers keep sand moving through the pump. Each pump is individually tested after assembly and stamped with the tester’s mark.

This listing covers 1/2 to 1 1/2 HP (4 models), all with a 1 1/4 in NPT discharge.

  • Check valve — acetal poppet and seal housing, Buna-N O-ring and stainless steel retention screw; threaded for easy installation or removal; working pressure 400 PSI.
  • Discharge casting and motor bracket — no-lead brass alloy.
  • Discharge bearing — rubber around the stainless steel shaft; self-lubricating, holds shaft alignment.
  • Diffusers — polycarbonate, corrosion and abrasion resistant, built for sand handling.
  • Impellers — glass bead acetal.
  • Shaft — 7/16 in 300 series stainless steel, hex drive, each one measured for straightness.
  • Shell — polished stainless steel, threaded at both ends for field service.
  • Cable guard — stainless steel; angled top keeps the leads in place while the pump is lowered or raised.
  • Motor coupling — stainless steel.
  • Intake screen — non-corrosive.

Room to Grow

One pump end per motor. Need more head later? Step up in horsepower within the J - 5 GPM class with the matching larger motor. Need more flow? Move to a higher flow class of the 21000 Series; every class uses the same 1 1/4 in NPT discharge, so the drop pipe connection stays the same.

Discharge 1 1/4 in NPT (female)
Pump diameter 3 3/4 in with cable guard

Models & Performance — Will It Do What You Need?

Find your horsepower in the row, then read across. Total head is the lift from the pumping water level to the discharge, plus the pressure you want at the tank (2.31 ft for every PSI), plus friction in the drop pipe.

Read from the published curve in the Pumps by Baker catalog (Sept 2025, rev 3/26), p. 26, digitized and rounded down, at the flows nearest 20%, 50% and 75% of the curve’s 12.6 GPM end. 0 GPM is the printed shut-off. The last column is the last flow every curve reaches; the curve ends are named in the table title.
