A 1500 gallon white vertical tank that stays five feet tall
The Norwesco 1500 gallon vertical liquid storage tank, part number 41505, is a white polyethylene tank 93 inches in diameter and 60 inches tall, weighing 220 lb empty. It is the wide, low way to put 1500 gallons on a pad: nearly eight feet across and only five feet high, with a manway you can reach standing on the ground. 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 limited full replacement warranty under its 2024 liquid storage catalog. This tank is built at Norwesco's Burnet, Texas plant.

Where a wide, low 1500 fits
Buy this shape when height is the limit: under a lean-to or a low shed roof, beside a single storey house where a ten foot column would stand above the eave, inside a barn bay with a low door, or on an exposed site where a tall tank would catch the wind. Everything about it can be done from the ground: filling, reading the level, dropping a float in, cleaning. The trade is the pad. The 93 inch base needs a flat, level, continuous surface close to eight feet across; because it carries 18765 lb at full rating, a concrete pad is the right foundation, and it must be flat across its whole width or the shell will sit on a ridge. White lets you read the level through the wall in daylight. 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 Norwesco's heavy duty tanks. If 1500 gallons is a guess rather than a calculation, run the numbers through the tank sizing calculator or the tank sizing guide first. Daily draw and the time between refills decide the size, not the price step to the next tank.
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, because a full tank does not turn, 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. On a 60 inch tank it is at chest height, so filling from a hose, dropping a float in and getting a brush inside need no ladder. The vent lets air out as you fill and in as you draw down; never plug it.
- Before you order. Tell us if you need a drawing of this shell for a permit or a pad design and we will get Norwesco's file to you.

Shipping and receiving
The tank ships by LTL freight at freight class 400, 93 by 93 by 60 inches and 220 lb, from Norwesco's Burnet, Texas plant. At nearly eight feet across it takes the full width of the trailer and a wide spot at your gate, so tell us if the delivery truck has a tight approach. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP. At the tailgate, check the part number against 41505 on the bill of lading, walk around the tank for transit damage before signing, and fill it with water the first time so any problem shows up with something harmless inside.
