LC / LCV close-coupled end-suction pumps

Double-volute end-suction pumps for commercial pool recirculation

← Back to all productsAvailable through FreyTechFacts summarized from manufacturer literature 2026-09-16; confirm details with FreyTech before specifying.

Overview

PACO LC pumps are Grundfos' close-coupled, single-stage end-suction centrifugal pumps; the LCV is the same wet end mounted vertically to save floor space. The line spans 32 sizes with a compensated double-volute casing that balances radial load for longer bearing and seal life, and a back pull-out design for service without disturbing piping. It suits pool recirculation and feature pumps specified in iron or lead-free bronze with NSF/ANSI 50 or 61 labels.
