The Chem-Tainer 130 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank (SKU TC2376IC-BLACK) is a tall, tight-footprint black polyethylene vertical tank built for water and general storage where floor space is scarce. Standing 84 inches tall on a 23 x 23 inch footprint, it holds 130 gallons in a column that fits into corners, equipment rooms, and narrow utility runs where a wider tank simply will not go. The molded-in black resin blocks light to discourage algae growth, which makes it a practical choice for stored water, rainwater, and vertical-tank installations that need to stay clean between fills.
Will it work for your site?
Full of water, this tank carries about 1,084 pounds. Rated to 1.5 specific gravity, it can hold denser-than-water contents up to roughly 1,626 pounds at its maximum rated density, so at plain water you are well inside the wall's structural rating. The number that matters for your pad is the load per square foot: 23 x 23 inches is a 3.67 square-foot base, so at full rated load that is roughly 440 pounds per square foot (about 300 at plain water). Size the pad and anchoring to that filled weight, not to the gallon count, and set the tank on a level, fully supporting surface. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match capacity to your daily draw, and the concrete pad sizing guide walks through supporting a tall vertical tank correctly.
Fittings and the drawing
Port sizes, outlet height, and any fittings are defined on the technical drawing for this model. Confirm them there before you plumb the tank, since placement on a narrow 84-inch column affects both your stand height and hose routing. The drawing is the authority for this specific tank.
Freight: how it ships
This tank ships by LTL freight from the single Chem-Tainer plant in Hanford, California, quoted live to your ZIP code rather than bundled into the list price. Because it is a tall, light, air-filling item, freight is priced on the dimensional space it occupies, so with one West Coast origin, shipping to the West and Southwest is generally the most economical. Get an exact number with our Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it for you.
