The Chem-Tainer 700 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (SKU TC6460IC) is a polyethylene vertical tank built for bulk liquid storage where you need real capacity without a sprawling footprint. It stands 60 inches tall on a 64 x 64 inch base, holding 700 gallons in a shape that drops onto a compact pad. If you have been searching for a vertical storage tank or vertical tank to anchor a water or process line, this is the kind of unit that does the work quietly for years.
Will it work for your application?
Full of water, this tank carries roughly 5,838 pounds, and at its 1.5 specific gravity rating it is engineered to hold contents up to about 8,757 pounds. That 1.5 SG rating is the number that matters most here: it means the tank wall is built for liquids heavier than water, giving you headroom for denser liquids within that limit. If your liquid exceeds 1.5 specific gravity, or your filled contents would push past roughly 8,757 pounds, this tank is not rated for that service - call 866-418-1777 and we will source a higher-SG-rated vertical for you. The 64 x 64 inch footprint and 60 inch height let you site it under most roof lines and inside many existing buildings. To match capacity to your draw-down and refill cycle, run the numbers in our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide.
Fittings and dimensions: verify before you order
For exact fitting locations, outlet sizing, and overall dimensions, see the technical drawing on this page. Before ordering, confirm the outlet/bulkhead size, thread type, and gasket material on the drawing match the plumbing your install requires, and call us at 866-418-1777 to verify exactly what ships included on this specific tank. Sorting that out up front is the difference between a smooth install and a return trip to the hardware store.
Sizing it into a larger system
A 700 gallon vertical is a common building block in rural water reserves, water reuse trains, and general bulk storage. If you are sizing a private fire-protection reservoir, our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design walks through NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection. For greywater, rainwater, or HVAC condensate aggregation, see our industrial water reuse tank topology guide. Setting it outdoors? Our piece on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks covers the ACI framework for a properly rated base. And if you are weighing this against larger units across brands, the Snyder vs Norwesco vs Chem-Tainer vertical comparison shows how Chem-Tainer stacks up.
Freight and ordering
The most common mistake on a tank this size is underestimating freight and footing. Plan your base around three numbers, all on this page: empty handling weight, 5,838 pounds full of water, and 8,757 pounds at the max-rated contents weight - your pad, floor, or stand needs to be rated for the loaded figure before delivery day. This unit ships LTL from Marked Tree, AR, with freight quoted live to your ZIP, so the most accurate number comes from your delivery point rather than a guess. Get your rate with the Freight Cost Estimator, and call 866-418-1777 with any questions on fittings, lead time, or freight and we will quote it to your ZIP.
