These figures provide simplified information for searching, filtering and initial comparison. They are not a complete specification. Exact details depend on the model and configuration.
Power rating: Usually the motor’s rated mechanical output (P2). Electrical input power (P1) is a different value. Check the product’s nameplate or manufacturer’s documentation to confirm which rating applies.
Outlet size: The nominal size class is expressed on a millimetre basis: for example, DN40 denotes a nominal 40 mm size. It does not specify the exact measured opening, connection type, thread, flange drilling or pressure rating.
Head and flow: Indicative figures describing the pump’s performance envelope, rather than a single operating duty point. Do not assume maximum flow is available at maximum head, or that every combination within the ranges is achievable. Minimum figures do not establish safe continuous operating limits. Consult the relevant performance curve.
Check the product description, nameplate and manufacturer’s documentation before selection or installation. Please contact us before purchasing if you need help confirming suitability or connection details.

Genuine Grundfos HQQE mechanical shaft seal kit, part number 99262346, with a 22mm nominal shaft diameter. Designed for compatible Grundfos vertical multistage pumps, including selected CR, CRN, CRE and CRNE models.
This is a balanced cartridge seal with silicon-carbide rotating and stationary faces and EPDM elastomers. It provides the mechanical sealing arrangement around the pump shaft, helping contain the pumped liquid where the shaft passes through the pump head.
Grundfos currently identifies the kit’s application range as CR/N 95–255. This includes selected larger models beyond the 95, 125 and 155 sizes in the listing title. Compatibility depends on the exact pump specification: the researched manufacturer references are listed below.

The following Grundfos references provide product identification, service-part information and technical guidance:
Match 99262346 against the service-parts information for your pump’s eight-digit Grundfos product number. Check the complete model designation, seal arrangement and installed shaft size. A family name such as CR 125, or the HQQE code by itself, does not identify the correct kit.
The CR / CRN service catalogue also lists larger HQQE kits: 99262350 for 28mm and 99262354 for 36mm. These are different assemblies. This listing is specifically for the 22mm kit 99262346.
A cartridge seal combines the sealing components into an assembly designed for the pump. It simplifies replacement and positioning, although the pump-specific fitting and shaft-setting procedure must still be followed.
Hydraulic balancing reduces the pressure-generated closing force acting on the seal faces. This helps control face loading, friction and heat. It does not mean that the seal can operate at any pressure: the complete pump and seal operating limits still apply.
It identifies the nominal shaft size for this seal version. It is not the outside diameter of the cartridge assembly. Another seal described as 22mm can have different dimensions, mounting details or materials, so the Grundfos kit number must also match.
Grundfos uses HQQE as the product’s short seal designation and records H Q6Q6EGG as its expanded catalogue code. For ordering, use 99262346, D22 together with the pump’s product number.
No. These families include different shaft sizes, materials and seal arrangements. The confirmed product references below provide more precise identification than the pump family alone. Check any modified or specially configured pump against its current service documentation.
Yes, where Grundfos specifies this exact kit. CRE and CRNE designate electronically controlled pump versions. Their motor controls do not, by themselves, determine which mechanical seal is required. Confirmed CRE and CRNE references appear below.
Yes. Grundfos’s current kit record states CR/N 95–255, and the research below identified individual 185, 215 and 255 product numbers that list 99262346. This does not establish compatibility with every version of those pump sizes.
The final letter identifies a different elastomer: E is EPDM and V is FKM. Their liquid and temperature suitability differs. The corresponding 22mm HQQV kit in this service-parts range is 99262347. Select the material specified for the actual liquid and operating conditions.
EPDM is commonly selected for water and hot-water duties. Suitable water/glycol mixtures may also be permitted, depending on concentration, additives and temperature. EPDM has poor resistance to mineral oils, so an HQQE seal should not be selected for oil service simply because its dimensions fit.
Grundfos lists a standard HQQE liquid-temperature range of -40°C to +120°C, subject to the applicable pressure/temperature diagram, pump construction and liquid. The pump nameplate and manufacturer’s operating envelope determine the permitted duty. Temperature and pressure limits must be assessed together.
No. The pumped liquid lubricates the seal faces. Fill and vent the pump before operation: Grundfos warns that dry running can damage both the shaft seal and pump bearings.
Grundfos describes a running-in period after a new seal is installed. Small amounts of leakage may reduce as the faces settle, and water may evaporate before becoming visible. Persistent or substantial leakage needs investigation; fitting a new seal does not correct every underlying pump fault.
Check the cause of failure as well as the seal itself, including dry running, contamination, unsuitable liquid, operating conditions and the condition of the shaft and bearings. Follow the applicable Grundfos service instructions for preparation, installation and adjustment.
This is a shaft seal kit. Grundfos lists pump O-ring kits, bearing kits and other wear parts separately. Refer to the listing photographs for the components supplied and identify any additional service parts required for the repair.
PQQE identifies a tandem seal arrangement. Grundfos lists 99262346 among the recommended service parts for the two specific PQQE models below. It is a component of their sealing arrangement, rather than a complete replacement kit for both seals and associated equipment.
Grundfos also lists this seal kit against the identified Hydro booster systems. The kit services a compatible individual pump seal within the system. Check the installed pump and required quantity when servicing a system containing multiple pumps.
99262346 is the seal kit number. #5038 is our stock reference. The eight-digit numbers at the ends of the compatibility entries below identify the corresponding pumps or booster systems.

We searched Grundfos Product Center and checked the manufacturer’s recommended-parts records for the references below. All 463 listed product numbers specify shaft seal kit 99262346: 451 HQQE pump references, two tandem-seal pump references and ten booster-system references.
Entries show the manufacturer’s full model designation followed by its eight-digit product number. Identical model descriptions with different product numbers are retained as separate references.
Grundfos lists kit 99262346 as a service component for these PQQE arrangements. Confirm the seal position being repaired and any additional parts needed.
These entries identify complete booster systems whose recommended-parts records include 99262346. Their published system names do not contain an HQQE suffix. Check the individual installed pump and the number of seals required before ordering.
Compatibility reference: Grundfos Product Center product descriptions and recommended-parts records checked on 20 October 2026. The eight-digit numbers at the ends of the entries identify the pumps or booster systems; the replacement seal kit offered here is 99262346. View the manufacturer’s seal-kit record .
