The 4200 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank from Norwesco is a polyethylene vertical storage tank built for high-volume bulk holding where a tight footprint matters more than sprawl. It stands 131 inches tall on a 102-inch diameter base, putting serious capacity into a compact circle. The shell is rated to a 1.5 specific gravity, so it is engineered to safely hold liquids heavier than water without exceeding the wall's design limits. That 1.5 rating is the quiet upgrade here: even if you only need water today, a tank that already carries heavier-liquid headroom means you are not re-buying when service shifts to brine, fertilizer, or another denser liquid down the road.
Will this Norwesco vertical tank work for your application?
At 4,200 gallons, full of plain water this tank holds roughly 35,028 pounds of contents. Because the polyethylene is rated to 1.5 specific gravity, it is built to handle contents up to about 52,542 pounds at maximum rated density. The go/no-go check is simple: any liquid up to 1.5 SG is within rating, and dividing your liquid's actual specific gravity by 1.5 tells you how much margin you have left. Confirm that number against your liquid before you fill. The footprint is 102.0 inches in diameter, so plan your pad and clearances around that circle and the 131-inch vertical height. Run our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm the volume and density match your job. Because this pack does not specify the inlet, outlet, and vent fitting sizes, check those against the technical drawing on this page (or call 866-418-1777) before you order bulkhead fittings or spec your plumbing, rather than assuming thread sizes.
Applications and cold-climate siting
A vertical storage tank this size is a workhorse for rural and remote water storage, including fire-water reservoir duty where a large standing volume has to be ready on demand. If that is your use case, our guide to fire-water reservoir tank design for rural and remote sites covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and the freeze-protection engineering a standing-water tank needs in cold climates. The same large reserve makes this tank a strong fit for industrial water reuse, aggregating grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate into quality-banded storage trains; see our overview of industrial water reuse tank topology for system design, or the 4200 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank complete buyer's guide for an end-to-end walkthrough of this exact size.
Foundation: don't skip the pad
The mistake to avoid on a tank this large is setting it on an inadequate base. A full 4,200-gallon tank puts more than 17 tons of static load on the ground, and an uneven or undersized pad will distort the tank floor and stress the shell over time. A vertical polyethylene tank of this scale needs a level, continuous, properly sized concrete pad that fully supports the 102-inch diameter footprint. Read our concrete pad sizing guide for the ACI 360R-10 framework before you pour.
This Norwesco vertical tank ships LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP from the nearest stocking plant. We ship from Fairfield, TX and Washington Court House, OH, so Texas and Southwest buyers should expect TX-origin freight while East and Midwest buyers will see OH-origin, and the carrier originates from whichever location is closer to you.
