The Norwesco 250 Gallon Doorway Water Tank (model N-41526) measures 29" wide by 44" tall and is molded from polyethylene in a natural white finish, built to fit through a standard doorway so you can stage water storage inside finished spaces a wider vertical tank cannot reach. Listed at a 250-gallon capacity, this Norwesco doorway tank is engineered for fresh-water service and carries a specific gravity rating of 1.0, which is the spec that defines what it should and should not hold. It ships LTL from Burnet, Texas, so you can start your freight math before you order.
Does it work for your job?
At full capacity the tank carries 2,085 pounds of water, and that figure is also its maximum rated contents weight. Treat 2,085 lb as a hard ceiling: it is sized for water and other contents at a specific gravity of 1.0, so the floor or platform underneath must be rated to support a loaded weight over a ton concentrated on the tank's footprint. The slim 29" width is the reason most buyers choose this model over a standard vertical tank, since it clears typical interior doorways for basement, garage, utility-room, and equipment-shed installations; the 44" height is what you check for ceiling and shelf clearance once it is inside. To confirm the loaded height, footprint, and fitting locations before you set it, see the technical drawing on this page. If you are sizing a reserve or comparing footprints, our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk through capacity, footprint, and weight trade-offs.
Other 250-gallon doorway options
If 29" x 44" does not match your opening, there are two other 250-gallon doorway layouts that trade footprint for height. Compare this one against the taller, narrower 250 gallon doorway tank in white (25" x 54") or the matching-profile 250 gallon doorway tank in white (29" x 44") to pick the build that clears your specific doorway and ceiling.
The mistake to avoid
The specific gravity rating of 1.0 is the line not to cross. This tank is rated for water, where every gallon weighs about 8.34 pounds; it is not rated for heavier-than-water liquids. Filling it with a denser fluid pushes the contents weight past the 2,085 lb design figure and stresses the wall and fittings beyond their intended load. Keep this Norwesco doorway tank in fresh-water service, and if your application is anything other than water, choose a tank with a higher specific gravity rating instead. For potable-water specifics, always confirm against the manufacturer's documentation rather than assuming.
