This 2500 gallon Norwesco vertical storage tank measures 102" in diameter by 79" tall and is molded from polyethylene with a 1.5 specific gravity rating, which gives it the structural margin to hold liquids heavier than water at full volume. It is built for bulk water and liquid storage where you need real capacity on a single, compact footprint.
Will it work for your site?
The vertical body holds 2,500 gallons. Plan your pad and plumbing around the full numbers: at 2,500 gallons of water the tank and contents weigh roughly 20,850 lb, and the 1.5 SG rating means it is engineered to support contents up to about 31,275 lb at maximum rated load. In practical terms, that 1.5 specific gravity ceiling lets you fill all 2,500 gallons with a liquid weighing up to about 12.5 lb per gallon. If your liquid is heavier than that, this is the wrong tank and you should step up to a higher-SG-rated model rather than overload this one. To match volume to your draw rate and refill cycle, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk you through it; if you are weighing this against more headroom, the same 102" diameter is available in taller 3000 gallon builds, so you can size up without changing your footprint.
Pad and base requirements
The 102" diameter footprint is the number that governs your slab or compacted base. Pour for a minimum 102" round (8'-6" diameter), flat and level, with full-bottom bearing under the entire tank; the body stands 79" (6'-7") tall. The single most common mistake at this size is under-building the base. A 102" round tank fully loaded puts more than 31,000 lb on the pad at the 1.5 SG limit, so the foundation has to be rated for that load and must support the whole bottom, not just the perimeter.
Fittings, chemistry, and what to confirm
Fitting and outlet configuration is not specified in this listing, so confirm bulkhead and outlet size, gasket material, and lid spec by phone at 866-418-1777 before ordering. This matters for more than plumbing: a heavier liquid at 1.5 SG raises head pressure on every seal, and the polyethylene body can be compatible with a chemical while the gasket or o-ring is not. Before any chemical service, verify the resin, the gasket or o-ring material, and the fitting material against the manufacturer's chemical-resistance chart at your specific concentration and temperature. For water and general liquid storage, the 1.5 SG rating is your governing spec.
