The Norwesco 100 gallon vertical storage tank stands 43 inches tall on a 28-inch diameter footprint and holds a full 100 gallons in a natural-white polyethylene body rated to a 1.5 specific gravity. Two things make this tank worth a close look: that 1.5 SG rating is heavier-duty than the standard 1.0 SG water tanks most sellers stock, so it carries light chemicals and slurries water-only tanks can't; and because Norwesco molds this 100 gallon tank at 11 plants nationwide, we route your order from the nearest one.

Will it work for your job?
The vertical profile keeps the footprint small at 28 inches in diameter while delivering full 100-gallon capacity, so this storage tank fits tight equipment pads, utility rooms, and trailer beds where floor space is limited. The natural-white poly wall is translucent enough to let you eyeball the liquid level through the side without a separate sight gauge. Plan your stand or pad around the load, not the empty weight:
Empty footprint: 28" diameter
Water-full weight: ~834 lb
Max rated contents (at 1.5 SG): ~1,251 lb
Build your platform around the heavier 1,251 lb figure if you intend to store anything denser than water. Not sure this 100-gallon size matches your draw rate or refill cycle? Run the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator or walk through the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
Confirm the fittings and gaskets before you plumb it
Fitting and lid layout varies by build, so check the technical drawing on this page for the exact outlet, lid, and bulkhead sizes, then match your bulkhead fitting and gasket to your line size before you run any plumbing. Mismatching the fitting size or gasket to your actual line is the single biggest return-driver on a vertical storage tank like this one, and it is entirely avoidable by reading the drawing first.
Match the SG rating to your liquid
The 1.5 specific gravity rating defines what this tank is built for. It safely carries liquids up to 1.5 times the weight of water, which puts it a tier above the common 1.0 SG water-storage tanks. If your stored liquid is denser than 1.5 SG, this is the wrong tank, and you should step up to a higher-rated vessel rather than push this one past its design weight. When in doubt about your liquid's specific gravity, work it through the Tank Sizing Guide or call us at 866-418-1777 before you order.
