Vertical GBV 80 diaphragm tank – IBO ITALY pressure tank
The vertical GBV 80 diaphragm tank is an 80 l pressure tank from IBO ITALY. It stores water under pressure and stabilizes pressure in the pressure tank system, reducing how often the pump switches on. An EPDM diaphragm inside separates the water from the compressed gas cushion.
Who it's for
-
Pressure tank system installers – the 1" connection and EPDM diaphragm make it easier to install the tank in a pressure tank system.
-
Systems with pressure pumps and their own water source – the tank stabilizes pressure and reduces the number of pump start-ups when water is drawn.
-
Facilities requiring a reserve of pressurized water – the 80 l capacity provides an adequate usable volume between pump start-ups.
-
Technical service – the EPDM diaphragm and adjustable pre-charge pressure make system commissioning and inspections easier.
Applications
The vertical GBV 80 diaphragm tank stores water under pressure and stabilizes pressure in the pressure tank system, reducing how often the pump switches on and limiting wear on the system.
It is used in pressure tank systems supplied by surface or submersible pumps. The GBV 80 tank is installed vertically, on the pump discharge side.
GBV 80 tank features – description and technical data
The tank body is made of steel with a protective exterior coating that increases corrosion resistance. Inside, an EPDM rubber diaphragm separates the water from the compressed gas cushion, limiting its contact with the inside of the tank body. This design keeps a reserve of water under pressure and stabilizes system operation.
The factory pre-charge pressure for this model is 2 bar ±10% and should be adjusted to the pump cut-in pressure. The tank is compatible with systems operating at a maximum pressure of 10 bar and temperatures ranging from −10 to 100°C.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – vertical GBV 80 pressure tank
What is the vertical GBV 80 pressure tank used for?
The GBV 80 tank by IBO ITALY stores water under pressure and stabilizes the pressure in the pressure boosting system. It reduces how often the pump starts and protects it from cycling too frequently.
What is the difference between the GBV tank and the GBH version (horizontal)?
The GBV tank is installed vertically and is designed for pressure boosting systems. The GBH version (horizontal) differs in its installation orientation – GBH is available in horizontal versions with capacities from 24 to 150 l. Both types have an EPDM diaphragm and operate at up to 10 bar.
What is the pre-charge pressure of the GBV 80 tank?
The factory pre-charge pressure for this model is 2 bar ±10%. For the pressure boosting system to work properly, the pre-charge pressure should be adjusted to the pump cut-in pressure, setting it slightly below that value.
How do I install the vertical GBV 80 pressure tank?
The tank is installed vertically, using a 1" connection, on the pump discharge side of the pressure boosting system. An isolation valve is recommended to enable servicing, and the pre-charge pressure should be checked before startup.
Where can I buy the GBV 80 pressure tank?
The manufacturer does not sell directly. The GBV 80 pressure tank by IBO ITALY is available from retail partners, plumbing wholesalers and authorized online distributors.
What warranty does the GBV 80 pressure tank come with?
The GBV 80 pressure tank by IBO ITALY comes with a 36-month (3-year) manufacturer’s warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service is provided by Dambat.
