The Norwesco 1505 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a polyethylene bulk storage tank built for water and other approved liquids where you need real volume in a single upright footprint. At 1,505 gallons, it holds about 12,550 lb of water when full, so the decisions that matter most here are how you site it, how you pad it, and how you get it delivered.
Does it work for your site?
This is a vertical tank, which means it stores its full capacity over a compact ground footprint rather than spreading out the way a horizontal or low-profile tank does. The shell is polyethylene, the standard material for above-ground liquid storage at this scale. Use the technical drawing on this page for the exact diameter, height, and fitting layout before you commit to a slab location or plumbing run, since those dimensions drive everything downstream. The single number to respect during planning is weight: a full 1505-gallon tank carries roughly 12,552 pounds of water, and that load has to land on a base that can take it without settling or cracking.
Our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework for above-ground polyethylene tanks so the pad is built for the full water weight, not the empty shell. If you are still confirming whether 1505 gallons is the right size, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match capacity to actual demand.
Common applications
A vertical storage tank of this size fits non-potable water holding, agricultural supply, and bulk liquid staging. It is also a common building block in rural and remote fire-water reservoirs; our guide on fire-water reservoir design for rural and remote sites covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate service. If you are aggregating grey water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, the industrial water reuse tank topology guide shows where a tank like this sits in a quality-banded storage train.

The mistake to avoid
The most common planning error on a tank this size is sizing the foundation to the empty tank instead of the full load. Polyethylene tanks flex slightly under fill, and an undersized or uneven pad lets the base settle and the fittings strain. Build the pad for the full 12,552-pound water weight on level, properly prepared ground, and confirm the outlet and fitting positions against the technical drawing on this page before you set the plumbing.
This Norwesco vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from the plant in Fairfield, TX, quoted live to your ZIP. Distance from Fairfield to your delivery ZIP is the single biggest driver of an LTL quote, so a buyer in the Southwest will see a very different number than one in the Northeast.
