Description
IBO ITALY 5 domestic hot water diaphragm expansion vessel – an expansion vessel for domestic hot water systems
The IBO ITALY 5 domestic hot water diaphragm expansion vessel is a 5 L expansion vessel designed for domestic hot water systems. It absorbs the thermal expansion of water and stabilizes system pressure, limiting fluctuations and reducing how often the water heater or pump switches on. It features a butyl diaphragm suitable for contact with domestic water and elevated temperatures.
Who it’s for
- Water and domestic hot water system installers – the 3/4" connection, butyl diaphragm, and vertical or horizontal installation make it easy to fit into domestic hot water systems.
- Households with a water heater or boiler – the vessel absorbs the increase in hot water volume, limiting pressure fluctuations in the system.
- Installations operating across a wider temperature range – designed for temperatures from −10 to 100°C, it supports domestic hot water systems with varying operating conditions.
- Technical service – the butyl diaphragm, which resists elevated temperatures, reduces maintenance requirements.
Applications
The IBO ITALY 5 domestic hot water diaphragm expansion vessel absorbs the thermal expansion of water in the domestic hot water system, maintaining stable pressure and limiting fluctuations while water is heated and drawn.
It is used in domestic and commercial domestic hot water installations, as well as domestic water pressure systems. The butyl diaphragm is suitable for contact with domestic water. The IBO ITALY 5 domestic hot water expansion vessel can be installed vertically or horizontally.
Features of the IBO ITALY 5 domestic hot water expansion vessel – description and technical data
The vessel body is made of steel with an external protective coating that increases corrosion resistance. A butyl diaphragm is fitted inside the steel shell; it is suitable for contact with domestic water and resistant to the elevated temperatures of hot water. The diaphragm separates the water from the compressed gas cushion, limiting its contact with the inside of the body.
The vessel is supplied with a factory pre-charge pressure of 3.5 bar ±10%, which can be adjusted to suit the specific system. It is compatible with domestic hot water systems with a maximum operating pressure of 10 bar and a temperature range of −10 to 100°C.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – IBO ITALY 5 domestic hot water expansion vessel
What is the IBO ITALY 5 domestic hot water expansion vessel used for?
The IBO ITALY 5 domestic hot water expansion vessel accommodates the thermal expansion of water in a domestic hot water system and stabilizes the pressure. This helps limit pressure fluctuations and how often the water heater or pump in the system switches on.
How does the IBO ITALY domestic hot water expansion vessel differ from the C.W.U. BASIC version?
The IBO ITALY domestic hot water expansion vessel operates over a wider temperature range (from −10°C) and comes with a 36-month warranty. The C.W.U. BASIC version comes with a 24-month warranty. Both series have a butyl diaphragm and are designed for domestic hot water systems.
What is the vessel’s pre-charge pressure, and can it be changed?
The factory pre-charge pressure is 3.5 bar ±10%. It can be adjusted to match the system pressure by adding or releasing gas through the valve on the vessel connection, with the system isolated and depressurized.
How do I install the IBO ITALY 5 domestic hot water expansion vessel?
The vessel can be installed vertically or horizontally, with a 3/4" connection, in a domestic hot water system. An isolation valve is recommended to allow servicing without draining the entire system, as well as checking the pre-charge pressure before startup.
Where can I buy the IBO ITALY 5 domestic hot water expansion vessel?
The manufacturer does not sell directly. The IBO ITALY 5 domestic hot water expansion vessel is available from trade partners, plumbing wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
What warranty does the IBO ITALY 5 domestic hot water expansion vessel have?
The IBO ITALY 5 domestic hot water expansion vessel comes with a 36-month (3-year) manufacturer's warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service is provided by Dambat.
