The Norwesco 1550 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (model #42595) is a polyethylene vertical tank standing 87 inches tall on a 67-inch diameter footprint, built for bulk liquid storage where you need a tall, compact tank that holds a lot in a small ground area. This is the natural-white translucent version, so you can read the liquid level through the wall without opening the lid - useful for water, batching, and general storage. If you are comparing footprints and heights across sizes, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm this 87" x 67" vertical fits your pad and overhead clearance before you order.
Will this 1550-gallon vertical work for my site?
At full capacity with water, this tank carries roughly 12,927 pounds of liquid weight, so the pad underneath it has to be flat, fully supporting, and rated for that load - a vertical tank concentrates its entire filled weight onto the 67-inch diameter base. Plan for a level concrete pad or an engineered base ring that supports the full diameter; partial or uneven support is the most common cause of stress cracking on tall verticals. Because the tank is taller than it is wide, also confirm overhead clearance for the fill point and any plumbing at the top before you set it. If you need to step up or down in capacity, compare this against the 500-gallon vertical (48" x 68") for a smaller pad or the 2000-gallon vertical (64" x 152") for more volume in a taller profile.
Fittings and level reading - what to confirm before you plumb
The natural-white polyethylene wall is translucent, which gives you a built-in visual level indicator in good light. This unit's outlet, bulkhead, and lid configuration are not specified here, so confirm the outlet/bulkhead size, gasket material, and lid diameter directly before you order fittings or plumbing - see the technical drawing on this page and verify those details against your plan. As a Norwesco vertical storage tank, it is intended for vertical, atmospheric (vented) liquid storage; keep the vent clear so the tank can breathe as it fills and draws down.
The mistake to avoid
This is a water and general liquid storage tank. Before you put anything other than water in it, confirm the contents against the tank's specific gravity rating and the resin - do not assume a heavier-than-water chemical is safe in a tank sized and rated for water. If you are evaluating it for a denser liquid, get the specific gravity rating in writing first. For a full walk-through of this size, including an alternate 1550-gallon model, see the complete buyer's guide for this tank and the 40235 buyer's guide for cross-shopping the same capacity.
