Grundfos CRN 1-2 — material number 99916153 — is a 2-stage Grundfos CRN vertical multistage centrifugal pump with a 1/3 HP, 3-phase, 208-230/460 V NEMA TEFC motor and a HQQE shaft seal.
This 2-stage configuration produces a moderate 90 ft of head at the BEP (8 GPM, ~38 psi) and is the most common choice for low-rise commercial boosting and short pipe runs where modest pressure is needed.
