The Chem-Tainer 130 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank (SKU TC2376IW-GREEN) is a tall, small-footprint polyethylene water storage tank that fits where wider tanks won't. At 84 inches tall on a 23.125 x 23.125-inch footprint, it tucks into a corner, a pump house, a utility room, or a narrow side yard while still holding 130 gallons. The green polyethylene shell makes it a practical pick for outdoor irrigation, rainwater capture, and general water storage runs where vertical space is available but floor space is at a premium.
Will it work for your install?
This is a vertical water tank molded in polyethylene and rated to a specific gravity of 1.0, which is the rating for water and water-density liquids. The resin is FDA-compliant for potable water contact, so it suits drinking-water and general water storage duty. When full it carries roughly 1,084 pounds of contents, so the base matters: this tank needs a flat, level, fully supported, load-rated pad under the entire 23.125 x 23.125-inch footprint. Because it stands 84 inches tall on a relatively narrow base, keep it out of high-wind exposure or anchor it per your local requirements. To confirm this 130-gallon size against your real draw and refill cycle, run the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator and review the Tank Sizing Guide. The full water weight above is the tank's rated contents, so you can size the pad and structural support before delivery.
Specs, fittings, and the technical drawing
Capacity is 130 gallons. Dimensions are 84 inches tall by 23.125 inches wide, on a 23.125 x 23.125-inch footprint, in green polyethylene at a 1.0 specific gravity rating. For port sizes and fitting locations, see the technical drawing on this page, and confirm the exact fitting configuration by calling 866-418-1777 before you order so your fill, outlet, and vent match your plumbing. Fitting and gasket selection must match the port sizes shown on the drawing, since bulkhead fittings seat and seal against the polyethylene wall. If you are integrating this tank into a larger water program, our guides on fire-water reservoir design, industrial water reuse topology, and concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walk through pad design and storage-train layout in depth.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error with a tall, narrow tank like this is reading the 1.0 specific gravity rating as a green light for any liquid. A 1.0 rating is for water and water-density fluids only. If you are storing a heavier liquid, you need a tank rated for that higher specific gravity, not this one. Call 866-418-1777 and we will match you to an SG-rated tank for your fluid, since this SKU is water-only. The second mistake is under-building the base: 84 inches of height over a 23-inch footprint means a small, level, fully supported pad is not optional. If you are weighing this Chem-Tainer against other brands at larger sizes, the Snyder vs Norwesco vs Chem-Tainer vertical tank comparison shows how the major lines differ.
