The Norwesco 22 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (SKU N-43608) is a compact white polyethylene tank built for tight-footprint liquid storage where space is limited but reliable containment still matters. At 20 inches square and 20 inches tall, it tucks into corners, utility rooms, equipment skids, and small batching setups that cannot accommodate a larger vertical. As a Norwesco vertical storage tank, it carries the construction reputation that makes this brand a default choice for water and general-purpose liquid storage.
Will this Norwesco vertical tank work for your application?
This is a vertical storage tank with a 22 gallon nominal capacity and a 20.0 x 20.0 inch footprint, standing 20 inches tall. The polyethylene wall carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, meaning it is engineered for liquids up to 1.5 times the density of water, which comfortably covers fresh water and many heavier liquids. Filled with water, the tank holds about 183 pounds of contents; at the full 1.5 specific gravity rating it is rated to carry up to 275 pounds. Plan your stand, shelf, or pad for that loaded weight rather than the empty shell. To match capacity to your draw-down and refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to a size. Review the technical drawing on this page for exact dimensions and fitting locations before you plumb in your lines.
How this storage tank ships
This tank ships LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP code. It originates from the nearest stocking point in our Norwesco network, with the two named locations being Sheldon, Iowa and Albertville, Alabama, so your rate depends on which plant is closest to your delivery address. Get an exact number before you order with our Freight Cost Estimator, or call us at 866-418-1777 and we will quote it for you. Because the loaded tank is far heavier than the empty shell, confirm your support surface is ready before delivery day.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a small vertical tank like this one is undersizing the support. The empty tank is light and easy to set down anywhere, which tempts buyers into a flimsy shelf or an uneven surface. Once you fill it, you are supporting up to 275 pounds across a 20-inch square base, so the tank wants a flat, fully supported, level pad or platform. Set it on a continuous flat surface, not on rails or spaced supports, and check that the base sits fully seated. For above-ground installs on a permanent footing, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the load math. One more note on specific gravity: this tank is rated to 1.5 SG, so if you are storing anything heavier than water, verify your liquid's density falls at or under that limit before filling.
