A 3000 gallon green vertical water tank, 102 inches across and 93 inches tall
The Norwesco 3000 gallon plastic water storage tank, part number 43140, is a green polyethylene vertical tank 102 inches in diameter and 93 inches tall, weighing 380 lb empty. It comes with a 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting as the outlet, a 1-1/2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting as the inlet, and a 22 inch threaded vented manway on top. The tank is rated for liquids up to 1.1 specific gravity, which is water and liquids close to it; 3000 gallons of water weighs 25,020 lb. The resin is FDA compliant and UV stabilized, the service limit is 120 F, and Norwesco backs it with a 3 year warranty. Green blocks light the way black does, so algae stays down, and it sits quietly against trees or a painted barn.

Where a wide, low 3000 gallon tank goes
At 102 inches across and 93 inches tall this is the wide, low way to hold 3000 gallons: the manway is reached from a step rather than a ladder, and the tank stays under more eaves and fence lines than the narrow shell. Three thousand gallons is the size at which a tank becomes the supply rather than a buffer: a household on a slow well, a rainwater system built to carry a dry season, a small stock operation, a private fire reserve on a lot the hydrant does not reach. Our complete buyers guide to this 102 by 93 inch green tank covers the shape and the colour choice; the same shell in natural white, for a liquid you want to see the level of through the wall, has its own buyers guide. For a fire reserve, read the fire water reservoir guide for rural and remote sites; for grey water, rainwater and condensate, the water reuse storage guide.
Full, the tank stands 25,020 lb of water on a 102 inch circle. The base has to be flat, level and continuous under the whole floor, built past the rim rather than to it, and drained so overflow cannot wash out an edge. Strap or band the empty tank the day it lands and re-tension after the first fill. Leave a walking gap all round so every side can be seen. Before you commit, run 3000 gallons against your real draw and refill interval in the tank sizing calculator and take the reserve and freeboard allowances from the tank sizing guide.
Openings and fittings
- Outlet. A 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting, factory installed low in the wall. Thread your valve into it and support the valve and the first length of pipe separately so the fitting carries water, not hardware.
- Inlet. A 1-1/2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting for the fill line.
- Manway. A 22 inch threaded vented manway on top, large enough for cleaning and for a float or level sensor. The vent lets the tank breathe as the level moves; never seal it.
- Drawing. Norwesco's drawing for this tank, linked under Technical Drawing on this page, shows the inlet and outlet positions for laying out the pipe before delivery.

Shipping and receiving
The tank ships as oversize LTL freight from Norwesco's Hanford or Merced, California plants or from Washougal, Washington, whichever is nearest, 102 by 102 by 93 inches and 383 lb on the truck. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP, or request a written quote for a job that needs paperwork. Have a forklift or two people at the tailgate, and never lift by the manway. Check the part number against 43140 on the bill of lading, walk round the tank for transit damage before the driver leaves, and fill it with water the first time.
