The 3450 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank from Norwesco is a 96-inch-diameter, 119-inch-tall polyethylene vertical tank built for high-volume above-ground water storage. With a 1.5 specific-gravity rating, it carries dense liquids well beyond plain water, and its full water weight of 28,773 lb tells you most of what you need to plan a foundation and a delivery. This is the kind of tank that anchors a rural fire-water reserve, a bulk water-haul reservoir, or an industrial water-reuse train.
Will it work for your site?
The numbers that matter for planning are on this page. The tank stands 119 inches tall on a 96-inch-diameter base, so the footprint is a single 96.0-inch circle - size your concrete pad to that diameter with margin, and work through the concrete pad sizing framework before you pour. Filled with water the tank weighs 28,773 lb, and at the full 1.5 specific-gravity rating it can carry contents up to 43,160 lb - that ceiling is simply the 28,773 lb of water multiplied by the 1.5 rating, so an engineer can audit the slab spec without re-deriving it. The polyethylene construction and vertical geometry are the standard storage-tank format for this volume. Fitting locations and sizes are not specified in this listing, so confirm the outlet, fill, and vent configuration before you order - see the technical drawing on this page for dimensional detail and call 866-418-1777 if you need the fitting layout verified. If you are still deciding on capacity, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide will help you match volume to demand.
How it ships
This is a large vertical tank, so it moves by LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP. It ships from the Norwesco plant in Fairfield, Texas - the nearest origin for this SKU - which keeps freight reasonable across the South and Southwest. At roughly eight feet across (96 in) and nearly ten feet tall (119 in), this tank typically ships standing, so plan for vertical clearance on the truck and along the offload path, and have a forklift or other equipment ready to receive it at the delivery appointment.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this size is treating the 1.5 specific-gravity rating as a license to store anything. The rating tells you the tank wall can structurally handle liquids up to 1.5 times the density of water - it is not a chemical-compatibility statement. For any non-water service, run a three-point check first: (a) the chemical against the polyethylene tank wall, (b) the gasket or O-ring elastomer at each fitting, and (c) that your liquid's specific gravity stays at or below the 1.5 rating. The second mistake is under-building the foundation: a full tank of dense contents can reach 43,160 lb concentrated on a single 96-inch circle. Get the slab right before the tank arrives, and call 866-418-1777 if your contents are denser than water or you need a specialty fitting configuration.
For fire-protection and remote-site planning, the fire-water reservoir design guide and the industrial water-reuse topology guide both cover this tank in context, and the complete buyer's guide for the 3450 gallon vertical tank walks through specifications in depth.
