1500 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank - Natural White (64" x 116") #41504: Complete Buyer's Guide
A 1,500-gallon vertical liquid storage tank from Norwesco in a tall, space-saving profile — 64 inches across and 116 inches high, seamlessly rotomolded in 1.5-specific-gravity polyethylene for bulk chemical storage where floor space is tight.
Specifications at a Glance
Every figure below is pulled straight from the live product record for this exact tank — the same data on the product page, so what you read here and what you buy never disagree.
Standards & Materials
- ASTM D1998 — Standard Specification for Polyethylene Upright Storage Tanks. Governs wall-thickness and hydrostatic design for vertical rotomolded poly tanks of this class.
- FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 — Olefin polymers. The food-contact regulation the FDA-grade resin in this tank is compounded to meet.
- Specific gravity rating 1.5 — the tank is engineered for liquids up to 1.5× the density of water (water is about 8.34 lb/gal). Confirm your fluid’s SG before storage.
Installation and Setup Guide
This 1,500 stacks its volume vertically — 116 inches of column on a 64-inch base — which saves ground at the cost of overhead and makes a dead-level pad essential, since a tall tank turns a tilted foundation into an overturning load.
Site Preparation
Set this tank on a firm, level surface engineered for the load — a concrete slab is the right choice at this volume, covering the full 64-inch base and flat to within a quarter inch across the circle. On a 116-inch column, level is structural. Build in containment where the chemical warrants it, and pick a site sheltered from the strong wind a tall tank can catch when low.
Placement and Connections
Keep at least two to three feet of clearance so the tall shell can be serviced and never leans on a structure. Plumb the outlet to your pump by the shortest run with chemical-rated flexible couplings, and match every gasket and valve to the chemistry. The deep column delivers strong gravity feed at the outlet.
Venting
The tall column pulls a strong vacuum on a fast draw, so size the vent generously to your flow and fit a chemistry-rated relief vent if the contents off-gas.
Maintenance and Long-Term Care
Inspect the tall 1,500 from the base up: the lower wall carries the deepest column's pressure, and the seals and vent need the usual chemical-tank attention.
Quarterly Inspection Checklist
- Lower wall and base: the bottom band of a 116-inch column takes the highest hoop stress — inspect it hardest for bulging or stress whitening.
- Seals and outlet: check the fitting, gaskets, and valves for chemical attack; hand-snug only.
- Plumb, pad, and containment: confirm the tall tank stands straight, the slab is level, and any containment is intact.
- Vent: make sure the relief vent is unobstructed — a deep column distorts quickly behind a blocked vent.
Cleaning and Chemical Changeover
When changing products, run the manufacturer's decontamination protocol and contain and dispose of the rinsate per label and local rules. Triple-rinse with a compatible solution, and confirm the new chemical suits the polyethylene and all seals before you refill.
UV and Weather Protection
The reflective white wall runs cooler but transmits some light; in strong sun inspect the wall annually and consider shade for the tall column of contents.
Alternatives and Comparisons
This tall 64-by-116 build is the space-saving 1,500 — choose it when ground is scarce and overhead is plentiful. The squat 93-by-60 version of the same 1,500 gallons does the opposite, fitting under a low roof at the cost of width. A 1,500-gallon cone-bottom drains completely for batch work on a stand. Step up to a 2,100 for greater bulk.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the 1500 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank - Natural White (64" x 116") #41504 last?
With compatible chemistry, a dead-level pad, and use within its 1.5 SG and 120 F limits, expect 15 to 20 years. On a 116-inch column the foundation's levelness is especially decisive in how long the seamless shell lasts.
What chemicals can I store in this tank?
The 1.5 specific gravity rating accommodates ag chemicals, fertilizers, and industrial solutions in that density, in FDA-compliant food-grade resin. Avoid fuels, solvents, and flammables entirely, and beware oxidizers and hydrocarbons that can attack the polyethylene. Verify the chemical, the concentration, and the seals before charging the tank.
Does this tank come with a warranty?
Under normal service Norwesco warrants the tank against any factory molding, wall, or fitting defect. Excluded from coverage are overloading, a poor slab, chemical attack, and impact. Keep records and slab engineering for any claim.
Can I install this tank underground?
No. Soil pressure overwhelms a tall vertical chemical tank; burial guarantees a collapse and voids the warranty. Use underground tankage built for the load if you need below-grade storage.
Buying Considerations
Three checks before ordering: a dead-level engineered pad for the load on the 64-inch base (with containment if the chemistry requires it); a chemical confirmed compatible with the polyethylene and seals at or under 1.5 SG; and a freight plan, since at 116 inches tall this tank ships by flatbed and needs a forklift to set.
