What Ships and What It Needs to Run
Included: the pump end with its built-in check valve, cable guard, bolts and washers.
Motor required, ordered separately: a Baker motor of the same horsepower and the motor size on the pump end’s bracket (Baker 4 in motor, Baker 6 in motor). The motor table under Models & Performance gives the bracket size and a matching motor part number for each horsepower.
And the motor’s control: three-phase motors need a starter kit or drive; single-phase three-wire motors need a control box.
Overview
Baker stainless steel pump ends deliver peak capacity at 230 GPM. The 230S is a 6 in stainless steel pump end from 5 to 60 HP, with a built-in check valve and NEMA mounting bracket. Each pump end includes the cable guard, bolts and washers.
Order by model number: the number reads flow class, stainless steel, horsepower, pump size and motor bracket (for example, 90S3HP64 is the 90 GPM stainless pump end, 3 HP, 6 in pump on a 4 in motor bracket).
- Stainless steel valve guide, valve casing and built-in check valve, with NBR and stainless steel valve seat.
- NBR intermediate bearing and NBR and stainless steel neck rings.
- Stainless steel impellers locked with split cones.
- Stainless steel diffusers, suction strainer, coupling and shaft.
- Stainless steel strap and screw; NEMA mounting bracket.

Room to Grow
One pump end per motor. Need more head later? Step up in horsepower within the 230S with the matching larger motor; every 230S model uses the same 3 in NPT discharge, so the column pipe connection stays the same.

Models & Performance — Will It Do What You Need?
The catalog publishes the 230S performance as a curve: head against flow for each horsepower, with the most efficient operating range shaded. It prints no head-at-flow table, so this page gives the printed shut-off figures and the curve itself is in the image gallery. Read your duty point off the curve for your horsepower.

Shut-off is zero flow, a ceiling rather than a working point. Source: Pumps by Baker catalog (Sept 2025, rev 3/26), p. 170. PSI = feet ÷ 2.31.
