The 75 Gallon Plastic Water Storage Tank from Norwesco is a vertical polyethylene tank standing 50 inches tall on a compact 23-inch diameter footprint. If you need real water capacity in a narrow space - a corner of a pump house, a trailer bed, a tight equipment shed - this is the tank that fits the slot. It holds 75 gallons, and the water is the heavy part of the equation: figure roughly 626 pounds when the tank is full. Plan your pad and your tie-downs around that number, not the empty shell.
Will it work for your job?
This is a vertical water storage tank rated for a specific gravity of 1.0, which is exactly what water is. General water storage and handling, hauling water, top-off and gravity-feed setups, and small water-storage trains all sit comfortably inside that rating. The footprint is 23 inches in diameter and the overall height is 50 inches, so place-it-in-the-slot planning comes down to two numbers: confirm the 23-inch base fits the spot, then allow extra overhead beyond the 50-inch height to lift and seat the tank in place. If you are weighing this 75-gallon size against a larger or smaller tank, run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit. This tank is rated for specific gravity 1.0 (water); for liquids heavier than water - most chemicals, brines, and fertilizers - you need a tank rated to that liquid's specific gravity, so call us at 866-418-1777 and we will match the rating.
Fittings and setup
Fitting sizes and locations are shown on the technical drawing on this page - confirm the inlet, outlet, any bulkhead fittings, and gaskets match your plumbing before you order, and call 866-418-1777 if you need them verified. A vertical tank carries its water as a tall column, so a flat, fully supported base matters more than people expect. Set it on a level pad or stand that bears the entire bottom - no point loads, no overhang. Our guide to concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the framework for getting the foundation right. Once it is installed, run a controlled water fill and watch for pad settlement and fitting leaks before you put the tank into regular service - our hydrostatic test methodology guide covers the fill discipline and hold-time math.
The mistake to avoid
The number that catches people is the weight, not the gallons. At 626 pounds full, this tank is far heavier loaded than it looks empty, and an undersized stand or an unlevel pad is the usual cause of trouble down the line. A 50-inch column on a 23-inch base also runs tall and narrow - it is tip-prone when empty or partially full, so strap it down and keep the base dead level. Build your support for the full 626-pound rated contents weight and tie it off; that one step prevents most of the problems people run into with a tank this shape.
