The Norwesco 250 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (SKU N-45874) is a natural white polyethylene tank built for straightforward liquid storage where you need a moderate, vertical footprint. The natural white translucency lets you read the liquid level at a glance without opening the tank, which is the practical reason most operators choose this body for water and general-purpose storage. Below you will find what it holds, how it ships, and the one detail worth confirming before you order.
Will it work for your application?
This is a 250 gallon vertical storage tank molded from polyethylene by Norwesco. Filled to capacity with water it carries roughly 2,085 pounds, so the pad, slab, or stand under it has to be rated for that fully loaded weight, not the empty shell. A vertical tank concentrates that load over a smaller ground area than a horizontal or low-profile tank of the same volume, so a level, continuous, load-bearing base matters here. Check the technical drawing on this page for the exact diameter, height, and fitting layout before you finalize your footprint and plumbing. If you are still deciding between this and a larger or smaller body, our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk through matching gallon capacity to your real demand.
Fittings and what's heavier than water
Fitting sizes and locations are shown on the technical drawing on this page. Call 866-418-1777 and we will confirm the inlet and outlet thread size and gasket spec for your plumbing before you order, so you are not guessing at the connection. One more thing to think through up front: that 2,085 pound figure is for water. If you plan to store something heavier than water, such as fertilizer, brine, or a chemical, the full weight rises with the liquid's specific gravity. Call us and we will match you to a tank rated for that load rather than assuming a water-weight tank will carry it.
What's the freight like?
A 250 gallon vertical tank ships LTL freight on a pallet, not parcel. This unit ships from Fairfield, TX, and freight is quoted live to your ZIP code so you see real transit cost for your location rather than a flat guess. Use the Freight Cost Estimator to get a freight quote to your ZIP, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it with you over the phone.
The mistake to avoid
The most common ordering error on a vertical tank this size is underbuilding the base. At about 2,085 pounds full, a partial or uneven pad can let the tank shift or stress the lower wall over time. Set it on a level, fully supported surface sized to the tank's footprint shown in the technical drawing, and support the full diameter of the base rather than just the perimeter. Confirm the fitting sizes and locations from the drawing match your inlet and outlet plumbing before you run any lines.
