The 1100 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank #42591 from Norwesco is a polyethylene vertical storage tank measuring 87 inches tall by 53 inches in diameter, holding 1,100 gallons in a natural-white wall. It is built for straightforward above-ground liquid storage where you want a tall, small-footprint vertical tank rather than a sprawling horizontal one.
Will it work for your site?
Plan the install around weight, not just gallons. Filled with water, this tank carries roughly 9,174 pounds at full capacity, so the pad underneath has to be flat, level, and continuously supported across the full 53-inch base. A vertical tank this tall transfers its entire load straight down, which is why an undersized or uneven pad is the most common reason a tank like this fails early. Worth knowing the other direction too: an empty 87-inch poly vertical is light and top-heavy, so confirm tie-down or strap provisions on the technical drawing for wind and partial-fill conditions. If you are still deciding between this 1100 and a larger or smaller footprint, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to a pad pour.
Specs, fittings, and the natural-white wall
This is the natural-white version of the Norwesco vertical storage tank line, intended for general liquid storage. Natural white is the unpigmented, translucent resin: it lets you visually check the liquid level through the wall, but that same translucency invites algae growth when the tank sits in direct sun, so for long-term outdoor or potable water storage consider a pigmented, UV-stabilized color if one is offered for your application. Fittings are not pre-specified in this listing, so confirm outlet size, bulkhead fitting location, and gasket or o-ring material against your liquid before you order plumbing. For exact fitting and outlet placement, lid and vent sizing, and overall dimensions, see the technical drawing on this page, which shows the full geometry for the 87-inch by 53-inch body. Tall verticals like this drain fast, so verify the vent and lid are sized adequately before you plumb it, since fast fill or quick draw-down on an under-vented poly tank can pull a vacuum on the walls.
Stepping up or down a size?
If you are not sure 1,100 gallons is enough, it is easy to compare footprints inside the same Norwesco vertical line. See the 500 gallon vertical (48" x 68") for a smaller pad, the sibling 1100 gallon #40070, or step up to the 2000 gallon vertical (64" x 152") if you expect to grow into more capacity.
This Norwesco vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from Griffin, GA, and freight is quoted live to your ZIP code rather than bundled into the list price. Because an 1100-gallon vertical tank is a tall, bulky LTL load, the lane and delivery type drive the final number. Get an exact figure with our Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote the lane to your site.
