A 1500 gallon natural white vertical tank built in Burnet, Texas
The Norwesco 1500 gallon vertical liquid storage tank, part number 41504, is a natural white polyethylene tank 64 inches in diameter and 116 inches tall, weighing 300 lb empty. It is Norwesco's Burnet, Texas build of the tall 1500: the same 64 inch circle as the standard thousand gallon tank, carried up to just under ten feet. It comes with a 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting as the outlet and a 16 inch threaded vented manway on top. The tank is rated for liquids up to 1.5 specific gravity, which covers water, most liquid fertilizers and many common chemicals; 1500 gallons of water weighs 12510 lb, and at the full 1.5 rating the contents can weigh up to 18765 lb. The resin is FDA compliant per Norwesco, the service limit is 120 F, and Norwesco backs the tank with a 3 year warranty.

Where it fits
Fifteen hundred gallons is where a household water reserve becomes a real buffer against a dry well or a power cut, and where irrigation, livestock watering and shop supply start to share one tank. Check the height first. At 116 inches the top of the tank is just under ten feet, which clears most barn and shop ceilings but not a standard eave, and the manway is up there with it, so plan a ladder or a fill line plumbed to the top and fit the float switch or level gauge before the tank goes into service. The 64 inch base needs a flat, level, continuous surface; because it carries 18765 lb at full rating, a concrete pad is the right foundation. A tank this tall should be strapped or anchored where wind is a factor, especially while it is empty. If your site is in Texas or the surrounding states, this Burnet build is usually the shortest freight lane for a Norwesco 1500, which is worth checking before you pick between this tank and the same shell from another plant. The complete buyers guide to this tank covers siting, the pad and plumbing in detail.
What goes in it
Water, rainwater, liquid fertilizer and the common farm and treatment chemicals that polyethylene handles are the normal loads. Keep the contents below 120 F and below 1.5 times the weight of water. Heavier liquids belong in the heavy duty version of this same shell, rated to 1.9 specific gravity; the options above the price list it in blue and in black. If 1500 gallons is a guess rather than a calculation, run the numbers through the tank sizing calculator or the tank sizing guide first.
Openings and fittings
- Outlet. A 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting, factory installed low in the side wall. Your valve, camlock or hose adapter threads straight into it. Turn the tank so the outlet faces the pipe run before the first fill, and support the valve and the first length of pipe on their own so the fitting carries liquid, not hardware.
- Manway. A 16 inch threaded vented manway on top, wide enough to fill from a hose or a pump, to drop a float in and to get a brush inside. The vent lets air out as you fill and in as you draw down; never plug it.
- Drawing. Norwesco's drawing for this tank, linked under Technical Drawing on this page, shows the outlet height and the manway position for pipe planning.
The same shell in other versions, and sizes nearby
The 1500 gallon vertical tank, N-40144 is the same shell in white from Norwesco's other plants. Same shell in black, for water that will stand a long time: the 1500 gallon black vertical tank, 40753. For denser liquids, the 1500 gallon black heavy duty tank, 42018 has a heavier wall. If height is your limit, the guide to the wide 1500 gallon tank covers the five foot tall version. A step down is the 1295 gallon vertical tank, N-44968; a step up is the 1505 gallon black vertical tank, 44259B, and beyond that the 2000 gallon tank on this same 64 inch base.
Shipping and receiving
The tank ships by LTL freight at freight class 300, 64 by 64 by 116 inches and 300 lb, from Norwesco's Burnet, Texas plant. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP. Three people, or a loader with a strap, stand it up at delivery; have the pad ready so it goes straight to its spot. At the tailgate, check the part number against 41504 on the bill of lading, look over the full length of the shell for transit damage before signing, and fill it with water the first time so any problem shows up with something harmless inside.
