The Norwesco 1000 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank stands 66 inches tall on a 72-inch diameter footprint, holding 1,000 gallons of water or a compatible liquid in a single vertical polyethylene shell. It carries a 1.5 specific-gravity rating, meaning it is rated for liquids up to 1.5 times the density of water. For homeowners, farms, and operations sizing up a stationary water-storage tank, this is a workhorse capacity in a short, wide, stable profile.
Will this tank work for your site?
Plan your pad around the full-load weight, not the empty shell. Filled with water this tank carries roughly 8,340 lbs; at its maximum 1.5 specific-gravity rating, contents can reach about 12,510 lbs (1,000 gal x 1.5 SG). That weight sits on a 72-inch-diameter circular footprint, so your slab or compacted base needs to support the entire loaded mass evenly across that 6-foot circle. Size your foundation to the 12,510 lb maximum if you ever intend to store a heavier-than-water liquid, not just to the water weight. The 66-inch height keeps the center of gravity low for a 1,000-gallon vessel, which helps stability and makes lid access and fill plumbing easier to reach. Choose this 72-inch-wide profile for low-clearance spaces such as basements, under eaves, or anywhere overhead room is tight; if your floor footprint is the constraint instead, the taller, narrower 64-inch-diameter siblings below give you the same 1.5-SG capacity in a smaller circle. Confirm your dimensions against the technical drawing on this page before you pour a pad or frame an enclosure, and use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to match capacity to your space.
Fittings, material, and what to confirm before you buy
This is a polyethylene vertical storage tank in natural white, so you can read the liquid level through the wall. Fitting locations, thread types, lid configuration, and the gaskets that come with bulkhead fittings are confirmed on the technical drawing on this page; before you order, verify that the outlet size and location match your plumbing by reviewing that drawing or calling us at 866-418-1777. The 1.5 specific-gravity rating is the number to watch: water sits at 1.0, so you have headroom for water storage, but if you are storing anything denser, confirm that liquid's specific gravity stays at or under 1.5 and check chemical compatibility before filling. The single most common mistake on a tank this size is under-building the foundation for the empty tank instead of the loaded weight.
Need a different profile or more capacity?
If you need a taller, narrower footprint, the 1000-gallon 64" x 81" and 64" x 80" profiles hold the same volume on a smaller 64-inch-diameter base, and the 2000-gallon vertical tank doubles your storage if you are scaling up. All sit in the same 1.5-SG class.
Freight and ordering
This 1000 gallon vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from Norwesco's plant in Hanford, CA, the nearest named production point for this unit. Freight on a tank this size is quoted by destination and includes accessorial charges such as liftgate or limited-access delivery, so the estimator quote is the real number, not a placeholder. Get an exact rate before you order: run your ZIP through the Freight Cost Estimator or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it for you.
