The Enduraplas 1700 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank (SKU TC8674IW-GREEN) is a bulk polyethylene tank built for above-ground water service. It holds 1,700 gallons on an 86-inch-diameter footprint and stands just 74 inches tall, so it carries its capacity low and wide rather than up high — a genuine advantage where headroom is tight, in a low-clearance building or under a canopy. It ships in a green shell.
Will it work for your site?
Design the site around the load the tank carries. Filled with water, this tank weighs roughly 14,178 pounds, and all of that sits on the pad beneath it. That full-water number — not the empty shell weight — is the one to build the foundation around. Because the tank is round, the pad it needs is an 86-inch-diameter circle with support out to the full edge; pouring a square pad to match "86 by 86" wastes concrete without adding bearing where it counts. A flat, level base rated for the full-water load is the baseline for any tank this size. Our pad-sizing guide works through the ACI 360R-10 framework for getting that base right. If you are still confirming the capacity you need, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you size to real demand instead of guessing.
Common water-storage applications
The 86-inch-diameter footprint and 1,700-gallon volume put this tank in range for rural fire-water reserves, harvested rainwater and reuse storage, and general non-potable bulk water supply. If you are building a private fire-protection reserve, our NFPA 22 reservoir design guide covers sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate sites. For grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate aggregation, the water-reuse topology guide maps out quality-banded storage trains.
The mistake to avoid
Do not skip the acceptance test after install. On a tank this heavy, a soft spot or slope in the pad shows up as uneven settlement once water is in — and by then it is loaded and hard to correct. Fill it deliberately and monitor for pad movement and fitting leaks before you put it into service. Our hydrostatic test methodology gives you the water-fill discipline and hold-time math to accept the tank properly. Confirm fitting locations and sizes against the technical drawing on this page before you plumb anything.
