What is the maximum head/flow of the Grundfos CRN 20-5?

The CRN 20-5 produces approximately 475 ft of head at 115 GPM (best efficiency point), with a shutoff head of about 570 ft. That corresponds to roughly 205 psi at the BEP.

What is the Grundfos CRN 20-5 material number / part number?

The primary material number for this configuration (3-phase 208-230/460, HQQE seal) is 99917891. Other voltage and seal options are listed in the variants table on this page.

Which motor does the Grundfos CRN 20-5 use?

This SKU ships with a 15 HP, 3-phase, 208-230/460 V NEMA TEFC motor on a 254TC frame. Other motor configurations and IE3/IE5 upgrades are available on request.

Can the Grundfos CRN 20-5 be paired with a variable frequency drive (VFD)?

Yes. Order the matching E-Pump variant with integrated MLE permanent-magnet motor, or pair this fixed-speed pump with a Grundfos CUE external VFD.
