Enduraplas 1550 Gallon Green Vertical Storage Tank

The Enduraplas 1550 Gallon Green Vertical Storage Tank (SKU THV01550G) is a molded polyethylene vertical storage tank built for bulk water and general liquid storage where a wide, stable footprint and a high-strength wall matter. It holds 1,550 gallons in a green shell that stands 80 inches at the shell on an 85 x 85 inch base. Stocked at our Converse, TX and Neche, ND plants, it ships from whichever is closer to your ZIP. The wall is rated to a specific gravity of 1.9, well above plain water, which covers essentially all water duty and most common liquid storage without pushing the tank past its design limit.

Will it work for your site

Plan your pad and plumbing around the loaded weight, not the empty shell. Filled with water, this vertical tank carries roughly 12,927 pounds; at its full 1.9 specific-gravity rating it can hold up to 24,561 pounds of contents (1,550 gal x 8.34 x 1.9). That is a serious point load, so the 85 x 85 inch footprint needs a level, continuously supported base sized to spread it. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match capacity to your draw-down and refill rate, and if you are pouring a foundation, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework for getting the slab right the first time.

Common jobs for a 1550-gallon vertical

A vertical storage tank this size is a workhorse for rural and remote water reserves, irrigation supply, and reuse trains. If you are building private fire-protection storage, our write-up on fire-water reservoir tank design for rural and remote sites covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate service. For grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate capture, our industrial water reuse tank topology guide shows how banded storage trains fit together.

The mistake to avoid

Do not undersize the base or set this tank on uneven ground. A vertical tank that can hold over 24,000 pounds at full rated load will find any soft spot or unsupported edge, and stress cracking follows. This tank's fitting and outlet configuration is defined by the technical drawing on this page, so verify it matches your plumbing before ordering, since retrofitting connections after placement on a filled tank is not practical. The shell stands 80 inches tall, but confirm your overhead clearance also allows for the top fitting and any vent before siting it under a roof.
