Grundfos 96511844 HQQE Cartridge Mechanical Shaft Seal Kit
Engineered for precision repair and preventive maintenance, the Grundfos 96511844 (Model HQQE / KB016S1) is a genuine OEM mechanical shaft seal kit designed for Grundfos CR, CRI, and CRN vertical multistage centrifugal pumps. Rated for working pressures up to 30 bar (435 PSI), this cartridge-style seal kit restores factory hydraulic performance and prevents shaft leakage in high-pressure commercial and industrial fluid applications.
The 96511844 seal kit features Grundfos’s advanced HQQE material arrangement, combining hard-wearing Silicon Carbide / Silicon Carbide (QQ) primary seal faces with chemically resistant EPDM (E) elastomers and a balanced cartridge housing (H). Built to withstand high temperature fluctuations, aggressive water treatments, and continuous duty, this pre-assembled unit replaces quickly during routine service without requiring full pump disassembly.
