GFC Cartridge Mechanical Seals for Grundfos CR Pumps

Oct 21, 2026

Aftermarket replacement seals for selected Grundfos CR applications | 12 mm | 16 mm | 22 mm

Luwint GFC is a cartridge-style mechanical seal range for selected Grundfos CR series pumps. The cartridge assembly brings the sealing components together in a compact unit for replacement during pump servicing.

The GFC range includes 12 mm, 16 mm and 22 mm shaft sizes. Selecting the correct replacement requires the pump identification, original seal specification and cartridge dimensions. Shaft diameter alone does not establish compatibility with every CR pump version.

Why Choose the GFC

  • Cartridge-style construction: keeps the sealing components together as an assembly for handling and installation.

  • Three catalogue shaft sizes: 12 mm, 16 mm and 22 mm options provide a starting point for matching selected CR applications.

  • Pump-specific identification: selection considers the existing cartridge, mounting arrangement and pump version.

  • Material matching: the proposed face pairing and elastomer can be checked against the liquid and operating conditions.

  • Sydney selection support: assistance with identifying the replacement from nameplate details, photos and measurements.

Choosing the Correct GFC

Start with a clear photo of the pump nameplate and the original seal or service-kit reference.

Pressure, temperature and speed limits must be confirmed for the supplied seal configuration. The pump’s maximum rating should not be used as the replacement seal’s rating without checking its materials and duty.

This is an application-family reference. Confirm the OEM seal or service-kit number, mounting dimensions and material combination to establish suitability for the specific pump.

Where It Is Used in Australia

With a verified pump and seal match, GFC can be selected for CR pump duties such as:

  • Water boosting and pressure systems

  • Water treatment and filtration

  • Building-services circulation

  • Industrial water transfer and utility systems

Selection should account for fluid chemistry, temperature, pressure and any solids in the liquid.

Materials and Configuration

Contact Luwint to confirm the face pairing, elastomer and metal specification available for the required GFC size.

Provide the original seal code where possible, together with the liquid and operating conditions. Confirm any associated O-rings, gaskets or installation components required with the quotation.
