The Norwesco 1100 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (part #40070) is a low-profile vertical built from natural-white polyethylene, measuring 53" tall on an 87" diameter footprint. That wider-than-tall geometry gives it a lower center of gravity than a narrow column tank, but it also means you need a wider pad. The spec that matters most is the 1.5 specific gravity rating, which is your green light for water and water-like liquids up to 1.5 times the weight of water.

Will it work for your application?
This Norwesco vertical storage tank holds 1100 gallons of water or similar liquids. The 1.5 SG rating means it is engineered to carry contents up to 1.5 times water weight, so the maximum rated contents weight is 13,761 lb; filled with plain water it carries roughly 9,174 lb. Run your draw-down volume and refill cycle through the Tank Sizing Calculator or the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm the 1100-gallon size fits your usage before you order. The fitting schedule (fill/lid opening, threaded bulkhead outlet, gasket) is shown on the technical drawing on this page; confirm those sizes against your pipe and bulkhead fittings before you buy adapters.
Pad and footprint
The 87" diameter is the number to verify against your site. Plan a circular pad at least 87" across, plus clearance to work around the tank, and rated to carry the full 13,761 lb max load when the tank is full of a 1.5 SG liquid. Getting the pad right for both the footprint and the loaded weight is what keeps a vertical tank stable and level over its life. For exact dimensional reference, the 53" height and 87" diameter are called out on the technical drawing on this page.
How it ships and what to avoid
Norwesco molds the 40070 at 11 plants coast to coast, so your tank ships LTL from the one nearest you, which keeps transit shorter and freight lower. Ships-from points include Burnet TX, Fairfield TX, Griffin GA, Hanford CA, Lancaster OH, Owego NY, Shawnee OK, Sheldon IA, St. Bonifacius MN, Tooele UT, and Washougal WA. The one mistake to avoid on any vertical liquid storage tank is mismatching specific gravity: the 1.5 rating covers virtually all water and most water-like chemistries, but if your contents are heavier than 1.5 times water, this is not the right tank. Confirm your liquid's specific gravity against the 1.5 rating first, and if you need a heavier-rated vessel, call us for the right match.
