2500 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank

Under a roof, with the manway in reach

Seventy-nine inches is six feet seven. That keeps the top of the tank under a standard door header, a lean-to or a container ceiling, and puts the manway at a height you can fill, dip and clean from the ground. The price of the low wall is the base: 102 inches is eight and a half feet, and all of it has to be flat and continuous. The buyer's guide to this tank works through siting, the pad and plumbing in order. Because it is built at Hanford and Merced, California and the states around it are the short lane and the far side of the country is a long one; if you are east of the Rockies, price the standard 2500 gallon shells too and let the freight decide. For the capacity itself, run your draw and refill interval through the tank sizing calculator and take the reserve margin from the tank sizing guide. White shows the level through the wall in daylight; black, for water standing in sun, is the same shell and linked below.

Openings, fittings and the pad

1. Outlet. A 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting, factory installed low in the wall. Your valve or camlock threads straight in; support the first length of pipe on its own.
2. Manway. A 16 inch threaded vented manway on top for the fill hose, a float and cleaning. Leave the vent open.
3. The pad. The whole 102 inch circle needs continuous, level contact: a slab, a steel plate, or a compacted and screeded bed with a retained edge. Check it with an instrument across the full span. Strap the tank before the first fill.
4. The liquid. Up to 1.5 specific gravity and 120 F. Heavier liquids need the 1.9 rated heavy duty versions below.
5. Drawing. Norwesco's drawing is linked under Technical Drawing on this page and gives the outlet height and manway position.

Shipping and receiving

The tank is an oversize LTL load, 102 by 102 by 79 inches on the trailer and 370 lb as shipped, from Norwesco's Hanford or Merced, California plant. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP, or request a written quote. An eight and a half foot shell needs a gate and a set-down spot to match; tell us if the yard is tight. At the tailgate, check the part number 42382 on the bill of lading, inspect the shell before signing, set it with the outlet toward the pipe run, and fill it with water the first time.
