The Norwesco 175 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank measures 30 inches in diameter and stands 64 inches tall, holding 175 gallons in a natural white polyethylene body. The narrow 30-inch footprint makes this Norwesco vertical tank a practical fit where floor space is tight - a corner of a pump house, a utility room, or alongside other equipment on a skid. At a glance: 30" dia x 64" H, 175 gal, 1.5 SG, natural white PE, Norwesco, ships from Burnet, TX.
Will this vertical storage tank work for my application?
Filled with water, this tank carries roughly 1,460 pounds; at its full 1.5 specific gravity rating, the body is engineered to hold contents weighing up to about 2,189 pounds. That 1.5 SG rating is the number that matters most: it tells you the tank wall is built for liquids heavier than water, so it suits a range of vertical storage tank duties beyond plain water. Confirm the liquid you plan to store has a specific gravity at or below 1.5, and check the technical drawing on this page for fitting locations and exact wall geometry before you plumb it. If you are weighing this 175-gallon size against a larger Norwesco tank, our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk you through matching capacity to your draw rate and refill schedule - and if you outgrow 175 gallons, our 500 gallon and 2000 gallon guides cover the next sizes up.
How does it ship?
This Norwesco tank ships LTL freight from the Burnet, Texas plant. Freight is quoted live to your ZIP code rather than bundled into the listed price, so you see the real transportation cost for your location and dock situation - and because the rate scales with distance from Burnet, TX, your ZIP is what determines the number. A 30-inch-diameter, 64-inch-tall tank palletizes cleanly, but a residential or no-dock delivery changes the rate, so have your ZIP and any liftgate or limited-access needs ready when you get a quote.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a vertical storage tank like this is plumbing the full 1.5-SG rating to a liquid the tank is not chemically suited for. The 1.5 SG figure speaks to structural load, not chemical resistance - it confirms the wall can carry a dense liquid, but it does not by itself clear any specific chemical for storage. Plan ahead for that load, too: about 1,460 pounds of water (up to roughly 2,189 pounds at the full 1.5 SG rating) bears down on a 30-inch circle, so set the tank on a level, load-rated pad. For straightforward water storage this tank is a clean match; for anything else, verify both the specific gravity and the chemical service separately before filling.
