The Norwesco 200 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (model #41856) is a polyethylene vertical storage tank measuring 30 inches in diameter by 72 inches tall, holding 200 gallons of water or other liquid in a tight 30-inch round footprint. It carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, the highest standard rating Norwesco offers, which means the wall is built to handle liquids up to one and a half times the weight of water. For water and lighter liquids, this vertical storage tank gives you margin to spare.
Will this 200 gallon vertical tank work for my job?
Filled with water, this 200 gallon tank holds 1,668 pounds of contents; at its full 1.5 specific gravity rating it is built to carry up to 2,502 pounds. In practical terms, that rating covers any liquid up to roughly 12.5 pounds per gallon, so check your liquid's weight per gallon against that ceiling before you commit. Those weight figures also drive how you plan the pad and stand: a tall, narrow vertical tank on a 30-inch diameter base concentrates its load, so it needs a level, fully supported foundation rated for the loaded figure, plus enough overhead clearance for the 72-inch height. Run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 200 gallons is the right capacity for your draw and refill cycle.
Same capacity, different footprint
If height or base stability is a constraint, you have options at this same 200 gallon capacity. There is a wider, shorter 35" x 59" configuration that trades height for a broader base, covered in our 35" x 59" buyer's guide, and a separate 30" x 72" model (#41516) detailed in its own guide if you want to compare it side by side with this #41856. Picking the right footprint up front saves rework on the pad.
How does it ship, and what will freight cost?

With that many molding points, most US ZIPs fall within regional LTL range, and the Freight Cost Estimator picks the nearest one automatically. Freight is quoted live to your ZIP, not bundled into the listed price. Get an exact number from the Freight Cost Estimator or call 866-418-1777.
The mistake to avoid
Pay close attention to the foundation on a tall vertical tank like this one. Do not set a 30-inch diameter, 72-inch tall tank on a partial pad, gravel ring, or unlevel surface. The narrow base puts the full loaded weight, up to 2,502 pounds at the rated 1.5 specific gravity, onto a small contact area, and an unsupported or out-of-level base can lead to stress cracking or tip-over. Build a level pad that fully supports the entire bottom. One more thing: this listing does not specify outlet or bulkhead fitting sizes or gasket material, so confirm those against your plumbing and your liquid before ordering. Check the technical drawing on this page, and if it does not show what you need, call 866-418-1777.
