Grundfos 96407079 Pump Head
The Grundfos 96407079 Pump Head is a professional-grade replacement engineered specifically for Grundfos UPS32 series circulators. Designed for high-performance hydronic heating and cooling systems, this cast iron pump head features a wet-rotor design to ensure silent operation and long-term reliability in closed-loop applications. It supports a multi-speed motor configuration, allowing technicians to fine-tune the hydraulic performance and flow rate to meet specific system requirements. The unit is optimized for 115V single-phase electrical connections and is compatible with standard Grundfos UPS32-80 and UPS32-40 pump housings. Replacing the power head rather than the entire volute saves significant labor time and prevents unnecessary piping modifications. This replacement circulator motor is built with high-torque starting capabilities to prevent binding after seasonal shutdowns, maintaining consistent HVAC system pressure and efficient heat transfer across the heat exchanger or terminal units.
Key Benefits for Contractors
- Drop-in Compatibility: Specifically designed for Grundfos UPS32 housings, ensuring a perfect mechanical fit without modifying existing pipework.
- Three-Speed Versatility: Adjust the performance curve to match the head pressure and flow demands of the specific zone or system.
- Reduced Maintenance Time: The canned-rotor design eliminates the need for mechanical seals, reducing potential leak points in the hydronic loop.
- Quiet Operation: Precision-balanced internals and liquid-cooled bearings minimize vibration and noise in residential and commercial settings.
- Robust Construction: Built to withstand high-temperature fluid circulation common in boiler and radiant heating applications.
Common Questions
Can I use the Grundfos 96407079 to replace a 230V pump head?
No, this specific model is wired for a 115V power supply. Always verify the voltage on the existing motor nameplate before installation to avoid electrical failure.
Does this replacement head include the gasket?
Standard replacement protocols require a new O-ring or gasket to ensure a watertight seal between the pump head and the volute. It is recommended to verify the seal condition during the swap.
Will this pump head work with variable speed controllers?
The 96407079 is a manual multi-speed pump. It is designed for fixed-speed operation at one of its three settings rather than external variable frequency drive (VFD) modulation.
