    Technical overview

    About these figures

    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.

    Compatibility Guidance

    The compatibility section below lists 314 individually checked CVBE/CVBV product references, plus 1 conditional reference with a different original seal code. Their Grundfos service-parts records list this kit as 00985164, the zero-padded form of 985164. The references cover selected CH 2, CH 4, CHN 2, CHN 4, CHV 2 and CHV 4 pumps, plus Hydro Dome and Hydro Pack booster sets.

    Before ordering, match the pump's complete product number, model designation, production code and required seal materials. A similar-looking seal or matching motor voltage alone is insufficient.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What does this kit repair?

    It provides replacement sealing parts for servicing a compatible pump. The mechanical seal controls leakage around the rotating shaft; the gaskets seal stationary joints. Diagnose the leak before choosing the repair parts.

    What does CVBE/V mean?

    C identifies the spring-driven O-ring seal construction. The first V denotes ceramic and B denotes resin-impregnated carbon. The final E or V identifies EPDM or FKM secondary seals. The same letter can have a different meaning depending on its position.

    Does E/V mean two complete seals are included?

    No. The kit provides one mechanical seal with alternative elastomer components. Select the correct O-rings for the application.

    Should I choose EPDM or FKM?

    Follow the manufacturer's material selection for the actual liquid, temperature, concentration and additives. Neither material is suitable for every application; use the specified combination throughout the repair.

    Does it fit every CH or CHN pump?

    No universal fit is claimed. These pumps have different sizes, production versions and seal specifications. Have the exact nameplate details checked against the spare-parts record before ordering.

    Does 2/4 mean two to four stages?

    No. Here it identifies the CH/CHN 2 and 4 pump size families. It does not state a shaft diameter or the number of seals supplied.

    Must all 11 gaskets be fitted?

    Use the number and arrangement specified for the exact pump assembly. The quantity packed is not an instruction to add extra gaskets or alter the chamber stack.

    Is 985164 the same as 96609244 / stock #5150?

    They have separate Grundfos part numbers. This listing is for the seal-and-gasket kit 985164. A similar CVBE/V description does not establish identical contents or an approved substitution; check the required kit number.

    Can I use it in a CHI or CM pump?

    Do not assume interchangeability with another range. Use the service-kit selection for that pump's exact product number, even if its appearance or duty is similar.

    Is it also listed for CHV pumps?

    Yes. The individual Grundfos service-parts records checked include both CHV 2 and CHV 4 references. Their exact model designations and product numbers are listed below. This is not a universal fit statement for every CHV pump or production version.

    Does it include impellers or motor bearings?

    No. This is a sealing service kit. Impellers, chambers, motor bearings and other overhaul components require separate identification and ordering.

    Will it cure every leak or restore low pressure?

    Not necessarily. Damaged shafts, worn hydraulic parts, loose connections or leaks elsewhere need their own repairs. Inspect the pump and identify the cause before replacing the seal.

    What pressure and temperature can it withstand?

    Use the operating limits for the complete pump, selected sealing materials and pumped liquid. Fitting this kit does not increase the original pump rating.

    What information should I send for a compatibility check?

    A readable photograph of the full pump nameplate, the existing seal or kit label where available, and details of the liquid and operating temperature. Please also mention any previous modifications.

    Pump & Booster Set Compatibility – Manufacturer References

    Grundfos service-parts records explicitly list 00985164 / 985164 for the 314 CVBE/CVBV product references below. A further 1 reference with a different original seal specification is shown separately for conditional checking. Each entry gives the complete published product designation with its product number underneath, linked to the Grundfos record. References checked on 2 November 2026.

    Before ordering: Match the exact pump product number, production code and required CVBE/CVBV sealing materials. The service records include production-date selections; a matching model name alone is insufficient. Pumps that have been modified require a separate check.

    This list includes all exact kit matches found in the public manufacturer records reviewed. It does not claim to cover every historical, regional or specially configured pump. If your product number is absent, contact us with its nameplate details.

    Manufacturer-Listed Reference Requiring a Seal-Specification Check

    The following product record lists kit 00985164, but its published original seal code differs from CVBE/CVBV. This is a service-record cross-reference, not confirmation of a like-for-like material replacement. Confirm the intended service selection and suitability for the liquid and operating conditions before substituting this kit.
