500 Gallon Norwesco Doorway Water Tank in White
The Norwesco N-43616 is a 500 gallon doorway tank: a tall, narrow, flat-sided tank built to go where a round tank can't. It measures 74" long x 31" wide x 70" high. With its narrowest side at 31 inches, it's designed to pass through a standard doorway, so it can go into a basement, garage, utility room or cabin and stand against a wall. Measure your door opening and any tight turns first, and allow for the fittings.

Installation tips
- Support the whole base. Full, this tank holds about 4,170 lb of water. Set it on a flat, level, solid surface that supports the entire bottom. No gaps, edges or drain lines under it.
- Plan the path in. Check door openings, hallway turns and stairs against the tank's width and height before delivery.
- Leave room at the top. Keep access to the lid for filling, cleaning and inspection.
- Keep it cool. Don't store liquids hotter than 120 F, and keep the tank away from heaters and furnaces.
