8" FXB 70-3 – multistage 400 V submersible pump
The IBO ITALY 8" FXB 70-3 submersible pump is a multistage, cast-iron Italian-made construction designed for extracting and pumping raw water in large water supply and industrial systems, as well as in fire protection and irrigation systems, before treatment. Its larger diameter than the FX6 series allows it to achieve higher capacities, while the option of horizontal operation further increases installation flexibility.
Who it is for
-
Multi-family buildings and larger water supply systems – the wide range of power and capacity options in the series makes it possible to select a model for extracting and pumping raw water according to the scale of demand.
-
Farms with high water demand – the 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 193 mm pump diameter allows the pump to be used in wider wells and for higher capacities than the FX6 series.
Application
The 8" FXB pump is designed for extracting raw water from deep, wide intakes for multi-family homes, farms, irrigation systems, fire protection systems, industrial applications, and drainage. The pump does not treat water – when using it for other purposes, we recommend ensuring appropriate water treatment.
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-control equipment selected according to the scale of the installation.
Features of the 8" FXB pump
The 8" FXB pump features a cast-iron construction (suction casing, 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 screen, 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 193 mm.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – 8" FXB submersible pump
What well is the 8" FXB pump suitable for?
The maximum diameter of the 8" FXB pump, including the cable guard, is 193 mm. Before purchasing, it is worth measuring the actual diameter of the borehole to avoid installation problems.
What is the difference between the 8" FXB, FX6, and FX10 series?
All three series have an identical cast-iron construction, but they differ in diameter and the resulting capacity – the 8" FXB has a larger diameter than the FX6, allowing for higher capacities, but a smaller diameter than the FX10, which is designed for even larger installations.
What distinguishes the 8" FXB 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 when the pump is switched off.
How do I select an 8" FXB pump model for my needs?
The choice of model depends on the well depth and the amount of water required 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.
Where can I buy an 8" FXB submersible pump?
Dambat does not sell directly. The 8" FXB pump is available from commercial partners, plumbing and installation wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
What warranty terms apply to the 8" FXB pump?
