Horizontal GBH 50 diaphragm tank – IBO ITALY pressure tank
The horizontal GBH 50 diaphragm tank is a 50 l IBO ITALY pressure tank for pressure systems. It stores water under pressure and stabilizes system pressure, reducing how often the pump switches on. An EPDM diaphragm inside separates the water from the compressed gas cushion.
Who it’s for
-
Pressure system installers – the 1" connection and EPDM diaphragm make it easier to install the tank in a pressure system.
-
Systems with pressure pumps and their own water source – the tank stabilizes pressure and reduces the number of pump starts while water is being drawn.
-
Facilities requiring a supply of pressurized water – the 50 l capacity provides a suitable usable volume between pump cycles.
-
Technical servicing – the EPDM diaphragm and adjustable pre-charge pressure make system commissioning and inspections easier.
Applications
The horizontal GBH 50 diaphragm tank stores water under pressure and stabilizes pressure in a pressure system, reducing how often the pump switches on and system wear.
It is used in pressure systems supplied by surface or submersible pumps. The GBH 50 tank is installed horizontally on the pump discharge side.
GBH 50 tank features – description and technical data
The tank body is made of steel coated with a protective exterior finish that increases corrosion resistance. Inside, an EPDM rubber diaphragm separates the water from the compressed gas cushion and limits its contact with the inside of the tank body. This design keeps a supply of pressurized water and stabilizes system operation.
The factory pre-charge pressure for this model is 2 bar ±10% and should be adjusted to match the pump switch-on pressure. The tank is suitable for systems with a maximum operating pressure of 10 bar and a temperature range of −10 to 100°C.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – horizontal GBH 50 diaphragm tank
What is the horizontal GBH 50 diaphragm tank used for?
The IBO ITALY GBH 50 tank stores pressurized water and stabilizes pressure in a booster system. It reduces how often the pump switches on and protects it from excessive cycling.
How does the GBH tank differ from the GBV version (vertical)?
The GBH tank is installed horizontally and is designed for booster systems. The vertical GBV version differs in its installation orientation – GBV models are available in vertical versions with capacities from 50 to 2000 l. Both types have an EPDM diaphragm and operate at up to 10 bar.
What is the pre-charge pressure of the GBH 50 tank?
The factory pre-charge pressure for this model is 2 bar ±10%. For the booster system to work correctly, the pre-charge pressure should be adjusted to slightly below the pump’s cut-in pressure.
How do I install the horizontal GBH 50 diaphragm tank?
The tank is installed horizontally, with a 1" connection, on the discharge side of the pump in a booster system. An isolation valve is recommended to allow for servicing, and the pre-charge pressure should be checked before commissioning.
Where can I buy the GBH 50 diaphragm tank?
The manufacturer does not sell directly. The IBO ITALY GBH 50 tank is available from commercial partners, plumbing wholesalers and authorized online distributors.
What warranty does the GBH 50 diaphragm tank have?
The IBO ITALY GBH 50 diaphragm tank comes with a 36-month (3-year) manufacturer’s warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service is provided by Dambat.
