The 1500 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (#41504) is a Norwesco polyethylene vertical tank standing 116 inches tall on a 64-inch diameter footprint, rated to hold 1,500 gallons. It ships from the Norwesco plant in Burnet, TX, and carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, which is the number that tells you how heavy a liquid this tank is engineered to hold. A 1.5 SG rating covers water (1.0 SG) plus many heavier solutions within that ceiling, so this single shell handles moderately dense liquids without stepping up to a different tank. If you need real volume without going all the way to a 2000-gallon shell, this is the vertical storage tank most buyers reach for.
Will this Norwesco vertical tank work for your storage?
The two dimensions that decide whether this tank fits your site are the 64-inch diameter and the 116-inch height. Measure your pad and your doorway or gate clearance against the full 64-inch diameter before you order, and check overhead clearance against the 116-inch height. On weight: filled with water this tank carries roughly 12,510 pounds, and at its full 1.5 SG rating the contents can weigh up to 18,765 pounds. That number drives your pad design. A vertical tank this size needs a level, continuously supported concrete or compacted base that can carry the loaded weight across the entire 64-inch footprint, not just the perimeter. If you are unsure which size matches your volume and refill cycle, run the numbers in the Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to this shell over a different diameter or height.
Specs and fitting layout
Confirm the inlet, outlet, and fitting locations against the technical drawing on this page before you plumb anything. The drawing shows the actual port placements for this Norwesco model so you can plan your fill line and discharge before the tank arrives, rather than improvising after a heavy tank is already set on the pad. Exact port sizes and placement are not published on this page, so call 866-418-1777 to confirm fitting details before ordering. If overhead clearance is tight, the same 1,500-gallon capacity is available in a shorter 93-inch tall by 60-inch diameter shell — see the 93 x 60 buyer's guide. For a full walkthrough of this 64-inch by 116-inch tank, read the complete buyer's guide for #41504, and if you are weighing more capacity, the 2000 gallon guide covers the next size up.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this tall is underbuilding the base. At 116 inches loaded to 18,765 pounds, an uneven or undersized pad lets the shell flex and concentrate stress at the bottom seam over time. Support the full 64-inch diameter on a level foundation. Treat the 1.5 specific gravity as a ceiling, not a guarantee for any liquid heavier than that rating, and verify your stored liquid stays at or below 1.5 SG before filling.
