The Bushman 3200 Gallon Plastic Vertical Water Storage Tank in black is a large-volume above-ground vessel built for bulk water storage, rainwater capture, fire-water reserve, and industrial water reuse trains. It carries a nominal 3,200-gallon capacity in a vertical polyethylene body that stands 112 inches tall on a 95-inch diameter base — a round footprint that fits within a 95 x 95 inch pad. The technical drawing on this page shows the tank profile and dimensions to scale.
Will it work for your site?
The two numbers that decide your install are the footprint and the filled weight. The 95-inch circular base needs a level, fully supported pad under the entire diameter — no overhang anywhere around the tank. Filled to capacity with water, the tank carries roughly 26,688 pounds of in-service load, so the pad has to hold that weight without settling. Size the pad before you order: our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework and where the ACI 318 boundary begins. If you are still confirming that 3,200 gallons matches your demand, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you work back from draw rate and refill cycle to volume.
Fire-water and reuse service
A 3,200-gallon vertical is a common size for a rural or remote-site fire-water reservoir, where stored volume backs the private fire-protection stack. If that is your use, read our write-up on NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze-protection engineering before you set the tank. For grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate aggregation, our water reuse tank topology guide covers quality-banded storage trains and where a vertical bulk tank fits.
Fittings and commissioning
The fitting layout — outlets, lid or manway, and vent — is not specified in this listing data, so confirm the port schedule by phone before you order rather than assuming a plumb-ready configuration. Once the tank is on its pad, fill and hold it before daily service. Our hydrostatic test methodology covers water-fill discipline, pad settlement monitoring, fitting leak detection, and hold-time math so you catch a problem before the tank is in daily use.
