6" FX6 55-12 – 400 V multistage submersible pump
The IBO ITALY 6" FX6 55-12 submersible pump is a multistage, cast-iron unit manufactured in Italy, designed for extracting and pumping raw water in large water supply and industrial installations, as well as in fire protection and irrigation systems, before treatment. Its compact diameter for this performance class allows installation in narrower wells than larger models in the FX series, while the option of horizontal operation further increases installation flexibility.
Who it is for
-
Multifamily buildings and larger water supply systems – the series’ wide range of power and capacities makes it possible to select a model for extracting and pumping raw water according to the scale of demand.
-
Farms with high water demand – higher-capacity models supply extensive irrigation systems, sprinklers, and drip lines.
-
Industrial plants and fire protection systems – the cast-iron construction and wide power range are suitable for demanding continuous-operation installations.
-
Installation contractors and designers – the 153 mm pump diameter allows the model to be precisely matched to wells narrower than those required for the FX8 and FX10 series.
Application
The 6" FX6 pump is designed for extracting raw water from deep sources for multifamily homes, farms, irrigation systems, fire protection systems, industry, and drainage. The pump does not treat water – when using it for other purposes, we recommend ensuring appropriate water preparation.
The pump operates in a vertical or horizontal position, with a maximum pumped-water temperature of 35°C. The 6" FX6 400 V submersible pump works with standard pressure tanks and pressure-control equipment selected according to the scale of the installation.
Features of the 6" FX6 pump
The 6" FX6 pump features a cast-iron construction (suction body, diffuser, check valve – G25 cast iron) with stainless-steel components – the shaft and coupling are made of AISI 420, bearing housings of AISI 316, and the filter mesh, cable guard, and screws of AISI 304. The impeller is made of cast iron or bronze, depending on the model, while the seals are based on PU and NBR materials.
The maximum pump diameter including the cable guard is 153 mm, allowing installation in wells with a minimum internal diameter of 180 mm.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – 6" FX6 submersible pump
What type of well is the 6" FX6 pump suitable for?
The 6" FX6 pump requires a well with a minimum internal diameter of 180 mm, while the maximum diameter of the pump itself including the cable guard is 153 mm.
How does the 6" FX6 series differ from the FX8 and FX10 series?
All three series feature the same cast-iron construction, but differ in diameter and the resulting capacity – the 6" FX6 has the smallest diameter and fits narrower wells, while the FX8 and FX10 are designed for wider boreholes and larger installations.
What distinguishes the 6" FX6 pump?
The pump features a cast-iron construction with AISI 304/316/420 stainless-steel components, ensuring durability during continuous operation. It can operate both vertically and horizontally, while the built-in check valve limits water backflow from the installation after the pump is switched off.
How do I select the right 6" FX6 pump model for my needs?
The choice of model depends on the well depth and the amount of water needed simultaneously – the series includes a wide range of variants with different power ratings, heads, and capacities. If you have any doubts, we encourage you to contact the technical department.
