A 1000 gallon natural white vertical tank built in Burnet, Texas
The Norwesco 1000 gallon vertical liquid storage tank, part number 41499, is a natural white polyethylene tank 64 inches in diameter and 81 inches tall, weighing 180 lb empty. It is Norwesco's Burnet, Texas build of the standard 1000 gallon vertical: a 64 inch circle on the pad and a top you can reach from a short step ladder. It comes with a 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting as the outlet and a 16 inch threaded vented manway on top. The tank is rated for liquids up to 1.5 specific gravity, which covers water, most liquid fertilizers and many common chemicals; 1000 gallons of water weighs 8340 lb, and at the full 1.5 rating the contents can weigh up to 12510 lb. The resin is FDA compliant per Norwesco, the service limit is 120 F, and Norwesco backs the tank with a 3 year warranty.

Where it fits
A thousand gallons is the size a household on a well, a small irrigation system or a shop wash-down supply usually lands on, and this shape fits most of those sites. The 64 inch base needs a flat, level, continuous surface; because it carries 12510 lb at full rating, a concrete pad or well compacted gravel is the right foundation, not blocks or pallets. At 81 inches the manway clears a standard door header and sits under most eaves. Natural white lets you read the level through the wall in daylight. If your site is in Texas or the surrounding states, this Burnet build is usually the shortest freight lane for a Norwesco 1000 gallon vertical, which is worth checking before you pick between this tank and its twin from another plant. The complete buyers guide to this tank covers siting, the pad and plumbing in detail.
What goes in it
Water, rainwater, liquid fertilizer and the common farm and treatment chemicals that polyethylene handles are the normal loads. Keep the contents below 120 F and below 1.5 times the weight of water; heavier liquids belong in Norwesco's heavy duty tanks. If 1000 gallons is a guess rather than a calculation, run the numbers through the tank sizing calculator or the tank sizing guide first. Daily draw and the time between refills decide the size, not the price step to the next tank.
Openings and fittings
- Outlet. A 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting, factory installed low in the side wall. Your valve, camlock or hose adapter threads straight into it. Turn the tank so the outlet faces the pipe run before the first fill, and support the valve and the first length of pipe on their own so the fitting carries liquid, not hardware.
- Manway. A 16 inch threaded vented manway on top, wide enough to fill from a hose or a pump, to drop a float in and to get a brush inside. The vent lets air out as you fill and in as you draw down; never plug it.
- Drawing. Norwesco's drawing for this tank, linked under Technical Drawing on this page, shows the outlet height and the manway position for pipe planning.

Shipping and receiving

The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP, or request a written quote for a job that needs paperwork. At the tailgate, check the part number against 41499 on the bill of lading, walk around the tank for transit damage before signing, and fill it with water the first time so any problem shows up with something harmless inside.
