The Norwesco 105 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a polyethylene vertical storage tank built for above-ground liquid storage where a tall, small-footprint vessel makes sense. It stands 63 inches tall on a 23-inch diameter, so it holds a full 105 gallons in a footprint just 23 inches across - useful in tight pump houses, equipment sheds, utility rooms, and corners where a wider vertical tank will not fit. The molded polyethylene shell carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, which is the number that tells you how heavy a liquid this tank is engineered to hold.
Will this Norwesco vertical tank work for your application?
Match the tank to the weight of what goes in it, not just the gallons. Filled with water this tank carries about 876 pounds, and the shell is rated to hold contents weighing up to 1,314 pounds - that headroom is what the 1.5 specific gravity rating buys you, room for liquids denser than water. Plan your stand, pad, and tie-downs around the loaded weight, not the empty shell. The top accepts a 60002 lid (see the technical drawing on this page for the lid opening and placement), and that drawing is the reference to confirm before you plumb anything in. If you are not sure which size fits your draw-down and refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and read the Tank Sizing Guide.
Sizing, weight, and placement
Two numbers should drive your base decision: about 876 lb full of water and a shell rated to 1,314 lb of contents at 1.5 specific gravity. A tall, narrow vertical tank on a 23-inch diameter wants a flat, fully supporting base, so pour or verify a level pad sized for that loaded weight - our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework. Common uses run from rainwater capture and water reuse to backup and remote-site water supply. If you are aggregating grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, the industrial water reuse tank topology guide covers banding water quality and sequencing storage. For fire-water and rural protection sizing, see the fire-water reservoir tank design guide, and the full 105 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank buyer's guide goes deeper on this exact model.
The mistake to avoid
Do not order a lid or fittings by guessing. This tank is built around the 60002 lid - confirm that opening against the technical drawing on this page before you buy a gasket, screen, or a different cap, so you are not returning the wrong part later. And size to loaded weight, not gallons: a shell rated to 1,314 pounds of contents tells you the tank will take it, but your pad and stand have to take it too. One more honest note on liquid weight - 1.5 specific gravity is the rating here, so contents up to roughly 1.5 times the density of water are within spec; anything denser than that is beyond what this shell is built to hold.
