The Chem-Tainer 110 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank (SKU TC3536IC-BLACK) is a black polyethylene vertical tank built for straightforward bulk water and liquid storage. It stands 36 inches tall on a compact 35 x 35 inch square footprint, so it clears most standard bays and sits on a small pad while still holding a useful 110 gallons. The "IC" in the model number is Chem-Tainer's 1.5 specific gravity rating, so this is already the heavier-duty grade of this tank, molded to carry denser liquids than plain water.
Specs at a glance
Capacity: 110 gallons. Footprint: 35" x 35". Height: 36". Material: polyethylene. Specific gravity rating: 1.5. Color: black. Ships from: Hanford, CA.
Will it work for your site?
Filled with water, the tank holds roughly 917 pounds of contents. At its 1.5 SG rating, 110 gallons of a heavier liquid works out to about 1,376 pounds — size the pad for that loaded figure, not the 917 pounds of water. Confirm your intended contents fall within the 1.5 rating before you fill. The 35 x 35 inch footprint and 36 inch height make this a genuinely space-saving vertical storage tank for pump houses, equipment sheds, and tight utility corners where a taller vertical tank will not clear the ceiling. If you are between sizes, run the numbers on our Tank Sizing Calculator and read the Tank Sizing Guide to match capacity to your draw and refill cycle.
Pad and placement
Like any above-ground vertical tank, this one performs best on a flat, fully supported base sized for the full contents weight. Our guide to concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework so the slab under the 35 x 35 inch footprint carries the load evenly. Fitting and outlet configuration is not published for this SKU — confirm bung and outlet size and gasket material against your plumbing and contents before ordering, or call us and we will check the layout with you.
The mistake to avoid
The common error on a compact black storage tank like this is overloading a light pad or assuming every liquid is water-weight. This tank carries the 1.5 SG grade, but you still have to verify your contents stay within that rating and that the base is built for the loaded weight, not the empty shell. Get the pad and the contents right up front and this black vertical tank runs for years.
