The 100 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank from Norwesco stands 63 inches tall on a compact 23-inch diameter footprint, holding 100 gallons in a tank built for tight spaces where vertical room is easier to find than floor space. The natural white polyethylene shell is translucent enough to read liquid level from the outside, and it carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, meaning it is engineered to hold liquids up to 1.5 times the weight of water without compromising the wall.
Will it work for your application
Filled with water, this 100 gallon vertical storage tank carries roughly 834 pounds of contents; at its full 1.5 specific gravity rating it is built to hold up to 1,251 pounds of liquid. That headroom is what lets the same tank serve plain water storage and heavier rated solutions alike. Storing a solution heavier than water but still at or below 1.5 specific gravity? This tank's 1,251 lb contents rating already covers it, so there is no need to step up to a heavier-wall model. Because the natural white shell is translucent, you can eyeball liquid level without a gauge or opening the lid, which is handy for both water and any rated solution. Before you commit to a liquid heavier than water, confirm your liquid's specific gravity stays at or below 1.5 and that any fittings and gaskets you add are rated for that liquid.
Specs and what to confirm before ordering
The dimensions are 23 inches in diameter by 63 inches tall, with a 23.0-inch-diameter footprint, so plan a level pad or floor that fully supports the base. On a 23-inch circle the tank occupies about 2.9 square feet of floor, roughly half the footprint of a wide-body 100 gallon tank, in exchange for 63 inches of height, so confirm you have the overhead clearance for fill and lid access. Run one pre-order checklist before you buy: confirm (a) your liquid's specific gravity is at or below 1.5, (b) the fittings and gaskets you add are rated for that liquid, and (c) the inlet, outlet, and lid configuration you need, since fittings and lid size are not listed in this record. Review the technical drawing on this page for port and fitting detail and match it to your plumbing. Plan placement before filling, too: a tank that is light enough to move empty holds 834 pounds of water once full and up to 1,251 pounds at full rating, so the pad and any tie-downs must carry the loaded weight, not the empty tank. The mistake to avoid here is treating the 1.5 specific gravity rating as permission to store any liquid: the rating describes weight capacity, not chemical resistance, so verify resin and gasket compatibility for your specific liquid before filling.
Footprint or height: matching the 23" x 63" model
This 23" x 63" model trades floor space for height, which makes it the right call when you have a narrow corner, a tight equipment bay, or a containment area that is long on ceiling and short on floor. If your space favors a low, wide profile instead, compare it against the wider, shorter 100 gallon tank and use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to match the footprint to your pad or containment area.
Freight and ordering
This tank ships LTL freight from the Norwesco plant in Burnet, TX, with the cost quoted live to your ZIP code rather than included in the listed price.
