8" FXB 70-2 – 400 V multistage submersible pump
The IBO ITALY 8" FXB 70-2 submersible pump is an Italian-made, multistage cast iron pump designed to draw and pump raw water in large water supply and industrial systems, as well as in fire protection and irrigation systems, before treatment. Its larger diameter compared to the FX6 series allows for higher flow rates, while its ability to operate horizontally provides greater installation flexibility.
Who is it for?
-
Apartment buildings and larger water supply systems – the series’ broad power and flow rate range makes it possible to select a model suited to the demand for drawing and pumping raw water.
-
Farms with high water demands – higher-capacity models supply extensive irrigation systems, sprinklers and drip lines.
-
Industrial plants and fire protection systems – the cast iron construction and broad power range are suited to demanding continuous-duty installations.
-
Installation contractors and designers – the 193 mm pump diameter allows it to serve wider wells and deliver higher flow rates than the FX6 series.
Applications
The 8" FXB pump is designed to draw raw water from deep, wide water sources for apartment buildings, farms, irrigation systems, fire protection systems, industrial facilities and drainage. The pump does not treat water - if using it for other purposes, we recommend ensuring the water is suitably treated.
The pump can operate in a vertical or horizontal position, with a maximum pumped water temperature of 35°C. The 8" FXB 400 V submersible pump works with standard pressure tanks and pressure controls selected to suit the scale of the installation.
Features of the 8" FXB pump
The 8" FXB pump features a cast iron construction (suction housing, diffuser and check valve made of G25 cast iron) with stainless steel components: a shaft and coupling made of AISI 420, bearing housings made of AISI 316, and a filter screen, cable guard and bolts made of AISI 304. The impeller is made of cast iron or bronze, depending on the model, while the seals use PU and NBR materials.
The maximum diameter of the pump, including the cable guard, is 193 mm.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – 8" FXB submersible pump
Which well is the 8" FXB pump suitable for?
The maximum diameter of the 8" FXB pump, including the cable guard, is 193 mm. It is worth measuring the actual borehole diameter before purchase to avoid installation problems.
How does the 8" FXB series differ from the FX6 and FX10 series?
All three series have the same cast-iron construction, but differ in diameter and the resulting flow rate – the 8" FXB has a larger diameter than the FX6, allowing for higher flow rates, but a smaller diameter than the FX10, which is designed for even larger systems.
What makes the 8" FXB pump stand out?
The pump features a cast-iron construction with AISI 304/316/420 stainless steel components, ensuring durability during continuous operation. It can operate in both vertical and horizontal positions, and the built-in check valve limits water flowing back from the system when the pump is switched off.
How do I choose the right 8" FXB pump model for my needs?
Choosing a model depends on the depth of the well and the amount of water needed at one time – the series includes a wide range of options with different power ratings, head heights, and flow rates. W If you have any questions, please contact our technical department.
