The Enduraplas 1200 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (SKU TLV01200) is a straight-wall polyethylene vertical tank built for bulk water and liquid storage where you need real volume in a compact footprint. It stands 60 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch base, holding 1,200 gallons of water on a square footprint that fits most pads and containment areas without sprawling. If you are still deciding on capacity, run your demand through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
Will this tank work for my site?
This is a vertical bulk storage tank sized at 1,200 gallons, measuring 90 x 90 inches at the base and 60 inches tall (dimensions verified against launch data). It comes with one 2 inch threaded fitting for your plumbed outlet or fill line and a 16 inch lid for top access, gauging, and cleanout, both shown on the technical drawing on this page. The straight-wall vertical profile suits rainwater harvesting, bulk water staging, fire-reserve water, and industrial process water storage. Confirm those two connections land where your piping and top access need them before you order, and reference the drawing for exact fitting placement.
What does it weigh, and how do I plan the pad?
Plan for the load: at 1,200 gallons of water this tank carries roughly 10,008 pounds full, versus only a few hundred pounds empty, all sitting on a 90.0 x 90.0 inch footprint. That is more than five tons concentrated on a square base, so the pad matters, and so does anchoring, since an empty tank is exposed to wind uplift. A level, engineered concrete pad or compacted base rated for the full liquid weight is not optional on a tank this size. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework and where the ACI 318 boundary sits. If this is going into a rural fire-reserve role, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection. Note that the standard configuration carries a single 2 inch outlet; fire-service draft rates may require a larger suction connection, so confirm that before specifying this tank for NFPA 22 duty.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a vertical poly water tank this size is inspecting only the liquid-filled wall and ignoring the vapor-saturated headspace above the fill line, which is where premature wall failures usually originate. Our breakdown of HDPE wall thickness at the headspace and the ASTM D1998 sizing logic is worth reading before you put this tank into service. One more point on service: this tank is configured for water and general liquid storage, so if you are storing a fluid heavier than water (specific gravity above 1.0), call 866-418-1777 to confirm the rating before ordering. If you are staging reused, grey, or harvested water rather than fresh supply, our industrial water reuse tank topology guide covers quality-banded storage trains and treatment staging.
