The Norwesco 1000 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (N-40152) is a polyethylene vertical storage tank standing 80 inches tall on a 64-inch diameter base, rated for 1,000 gallons of water or compatible liquid. Its natural-white color and round footprint keep the load contained on a level pad. If you are sizing a 1000 gallon vertical tank for water storage, agricultural supply, or a buffer for a pump or treatment system, this is a stock Norwesco vertical storage tank that ships from nine plants across the country.
Will it work for your liquid?
This tank carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, so it is built to hold liquids up to 1.5 times the weight of water. Filled with water (specific gravity 1.0), a full tank weighs about 8,340 pounds; at its maximum rated contents the tank is engineered to carry up to 12,510 pounds. That headroom is what the 1.5 rating buys you - at the limit a full tank carries 12,510 pounds of contents, which covers most fertilizers and many concentrated solutions up to 1.5 SG; anything heavier than that is outside this tank's rating. Outlet, bulkhead, and lid fittings are configured per order, so confirm your gasket and fitting material against your specific liquid before you order - call 866-418-1777 if you want help matching them. Run your volume through our Tank Sizing Calculator when you are deciding between this and a taller 2000 gallon vertical tank, and the Tank Sizing Guide walks through matching capacity to draw rate and refill cycle.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this size is the foundation, not the tank. At roughly 8,340 pounds full of water, this vertical tank needs a level, fully supported base across the entire 64-inch diameter footprint - never set it on blocking, beams, or a partial ring. Pour a level pad at least 64 inches across (the full diameter), rated for 8,340 pounds minimum, or up to 12,510 pounds if you store at the 1.5 specific gravity limit. Uneven support concentrates load on one section of the wall and is the leading cause of premature failure on large vertical tanks. One more order check: several Norwesco 1000 gallon vertical tanks share the same capacity but differ in height and footprint, so match this tank's 64" x 80" dimensions specifically and confirm them against the technical drawing on this page - don't assume another 1000 gallon vertical has the same profile.
