8" FXB 70-6 – multistage 400 V submersible pump
The IBO ITALY 8" FXB 70-6 submersible pump is a multistage, cast-iron construction made in Italy, 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 flow rates, while the ability to operate in a horizontal position further increases installation flexibility.
Who is it for?
-
Multi-family buildings and larger water supply systems – the wide range of power and flow rates 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 – higher-output 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 systems.
-
Installation contractors and designers – the 193 mm pump diameter allows it to be used in wider wells and achieve higher flow rates than the FX6 series.
Applications
The 8" FXB pump is designed for extracting raw water from deep, wide wells for multi-family homes, farms, irrigation systems, fire protection systems, industrial facilities, and drainage applications. The pump does not treat water – when using it for other purposes, we recommend ensuring appropriate water treatment.
The pump operates in a vertical or horizontal position, with a maximum pumped-water temperature of 35°C. The 8" FXB 400 V submersible pump is compatible 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 has 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 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
Which well is suitable for the 8" FXB pump?
The maximum diameter of the 8" FXB pump, including the cable guard, is 193 mm. Before purchasing, it is worth measuring the actual borehole diameter to avoid installation problems.
How does the 8" FXB series differ from the FX6 and FX10 series?
All three series have an identical cast-iron construction, but they differ in diameter and the resulting flow rate – the 8" FXB has a larger diameter than the FX6, allowing higher flow rates, but a smaller diameter than the FX10, which is designed for even larger systems.
What distinguishes the 8" FXB pump?
The pump has 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 backflow from the system after the pump is switched off.
How do I choose the 8" FXB pump model for my needs?
The choice of model depends on the well depth and the amount of water required at the same time – the series includes a wide range of variants with different power ratings, heads, and flow rates. If in doubt, we encourage you to contact the technical department.
Where can I buy the 8" FXB submersible pump?
Dambat does not sell directly. The 8" FXB pump is available from trade partners, installation wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
What warranty terms apply to the 8" FXB pump?
IBO ITALY – 36-month (3-year) manufacturer's warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service is provided by Dambat.
