The Norwesco 2500 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (N-41523) holds 2,500 gallons in a single white polyethylene shell measuring 96 in dia x 96 in tall (8 ft x 8 ft) on a round footprint. Molded from polyethylene with a 1.5 specific-gravity rating, this Norwesco vertical storage tank handles routine water storage, irrigation supply, and bulk liquid holding. See the technical drawing on this page for wall and geometry detail.
Will it work for your site?
Plan around two weights, not the empty shell. Filled with water this vertical tank carries roughly 20,850 pounds, and at its full 1.5 specific-gravity rating it is engineered for contents up to 31,275 pounds. Those numbers drive your foundation: a 96-inch round base puts that load on an 8-foot diameter, so a level, continuously supported concrete pad sized to the full footprint is the non-negotiable starting point. The 1.5 SG rating matters here. A standard water-only tank is built to 1.0; this heavier-walled 1.5 shell gives you headroom to store liquids heavier than water up to that 31,275-pound ceiling, so the same footprint covers future heavier-liquid duty without re-buying a tank. If you are choosing between this and another 2500-gallon profile, run your site through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you pour.
How it ships
A 2,500-gallon vertical storage tank moves as LTL freight, not parcel. It ships from the Norwesco plant in Burnet, Texas, and freight is quoted live to your ZIP code. Because an 8-foot-wide, 8-foot-tall tank rides as oversized freight, the closer the origin is to you, the lower the line-haul cost. Get your number with the Freight Cost Estimator.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this size is treating it like its empty footprint. The shell is light to set, but once it is full you are anchoring more than ten tons in one spot, so the pad and any tie-downs have to be built for the loaded weight, not the delivered weight. The second mistake is reading the 1.5 specific-gravity rating as a license to store anything heavy. The rating sets the weight ceiling only. Heavier-than-water service also depends on resin compatibility and on specifying compatible gasket and fitting hardware (for example, EPDM versus Viton), which is a separate question from raw capacity and should be confirmed before order. Specify the foundation and anchoring for the full 31,275-pound contents rating and you will not be re-pouring concrete a year in.
This is the square-footprint (96 x 96) profile; if you are height- or footprint-constrained, compare the taller and narrower 2500-gallon variants through the Sizing Calculator first. Fitting and outlet configuration is confirmed at order. Get a freight quote to your ZIP with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 to confirm fittings and lead time before you order.
