The Norwesco 120 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank holds 120 gallons in a compact upright footprint measuring 38 inches in diameter by 31 inches tall. Molded from polyethylene in natural white, it carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, meaning the wall is built to hold liquids up to one-and-a-half times the weight of water. For plain water that is real headroom: a full water load runs about 1,001 pounds, while the tank is rated to carry up to 1,501 pounds of contents. That roughly 500-pound cushion is the difference between buying a tank sized exactly for water and buying one that also covers a denser liquid later without a second purchase.
Will it work for your application?
The 38-inch round footprint sits flat and stable, which makes this Norwesco vertical storage tank a fit for tight equipment rooms, trailers, ag setups, and rainwater collection where floor space is short but you still need triple-digit storage. Two fittings define how you fill and empty it: a molded sump with a 4-segment base that lets the tank gravity-drain toward its lowest point for near-complete emptying, and a threaded lid for filling and inspection. See the technical drawing on this page to confirm the lid opening and outlet placement against your plumbing before you order. If you are still working out capacity, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide.
How does it ship?
Norwesco molds this vertical tank at plants across the country, including Fairfield, TX; Griffin, GA; Hanford, CA; Lancaster, OH; Owego, NY; Shawnee, OK; and Sheldon, IA. It ships LTL freight from the plant nearest your delivery ZIP, and freight is quoted live rather than folded into the list price. Drop your ZIP into the Freight Cost Estimator for a real number, or call 866-418-1777 and we will route it from the closest origin to keep your freight down.
The mistake to avoid
The most common misstep on a vertical tank like this is checking the specific gravity rating but not the seals. At 1.5 SG, this tank handles water (1.0) with margin and covers liquids up to one-and-a-half times the density of water, so confirm any heavier liquid stays at or below 1.5 before you fill. Just as important: the sump outlet and threaded lid are both sealed joints, and when you store anything other than water the polyethylene wall can be perfectly compatible while the gasket is not. Verify the outlet bulkhead gasket and lid seal material against your liquid, because the gasket is the usual real-world failure point on an otherwise sound tank.
