100 GALLON POLYPROPYLENE VERTICAL TANK 1.9SG

The Bushman 100 gallon polypropylene vertical tank (SKU VTB00105-23-1.9-PP) is a compact upright storage tank rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, standing 62.5 inches tall on a tight 23 x 23 inch square footprint. If you are storing water or a heavier-than-water liquid where floor space is limited but vertical clearance is not, this is a tank sized for that trade-off. Dimensions on this listing are verified, so you can plan your pad and clearances before it arrives.

Will it work for your site?

At 100 gallons nominal capacity, a full tank of plain water weighs 834 pounds sitting on that 23 x 23 inch base. Across a 529 square inch footprint that is roughly 1.6 pounds per square inch of average bearing load, so the surface underneath needs to be flat, level, and continuously supported across the whole bottom. The 1.9 specific-gravity rating means the tank wall is built to hold liquids denser than water, up to a specific gravity of 1.9. To translate your volume and liquid weight into the right vertical tank, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide.

The mistake to avoid

The common error on a tank like this is treating specific gravity as a formality. This is a polypropylene 1.9-SG tank. If your liquid is denser than 1.9 specific gravity, you need a higher-rated tank; and if you are only ever storing water, you may be paying for wall strength you do not need. Confirm your liquid's actual specific gravity first. One more engineering point: the tank rating alone does not cover the seal. Because this is polypropylene rated to 1.9 SG, you must separately confirm that any bulkhead fitting and its gasket or seal material are compatible with the stored liquid before you plumb it in.

Fittings and siting

Fitting and outlet specifics are not published on this listing. Call our team at 866-418-1777 to confirm the exact port and outlet configuration before you build your connections. For the concrete work under an upright tank this size, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework and gives that ~1.6 pounds per square inch bearing figure somewhere to land. If this tank is headed into rainwater capture or a rural water-reservoir role, the Bushman rainwater harvesting guide and our fire-water reservoir design guide cover sizing discipline and freeze protection.
