Enduraplas 1550 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank in Black

The Enduraplas 1550 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank in Black is a vertical storage tank built for high-volume liquid holding where you need real working capacity without stepping up to steel or concrete.At 1,550 gallons in a polyethylene body, it stands 80 inches tall on an 85 x 85 inch footprint, so it sits on a square pad and pumps to a usable head height.The black shell blocks light to discourage algae growth, which makes it a practical pick for water that sits for long stretches.

Will this Enduraplas vertical tank work for my site?

Start with the numbers.The tank holds 1,550 gallons of water at roughly 12,927 pounds full.What sets this build apart from a plain water-only vessel is its 1.9 specific gravity rating: the shell is rated to hold liquids up to 1.9 times the density of water, and at that maximum the rated contents weight reaches 24,561 pounds.That headroom covers many fertilizers, brines, and heavier ag or industrial solutions that a 1.0 to 1.9 SG water tank simply cannot.Lead your foundation design with the loaded weight, not the empty tank.On the 85 x 85 footprint (about 50 square feet), full water works out to roughly 258 pounds per square foot and max 1.9 SG contents to roughly 490 pounds per square foot of bearing load, so size the pad and subgrade to that.Our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework for getting that base right.If you are still choosing a capacity, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match volume to draw rate and refill cycle.

Common uses, geometry, and fittings

A 1,550-gallon vertical storage tank in black is a frequent choice for bulk water storage, rainwater collection, and rural or remote reserves where a tall, small-footprint vessel matters.For private fire protection planning, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate service.If you want to compare this against the natural-white versions of the same 1,550-gallon class, see our buyer's guide for the 87 x 67 natural-white build — but note the geometry differs: this black build is a wider, shorter 85 x 85 footprint, while the natural-white 87 x 67 versions are taller and narrower, so confirm pad size and overhead clearance against the build you actually choose.Fitting and gasket specifications are confirmed per build on the technical drawing on this page and the order sheet; call 866-418-1777 to verify your inlet, outlet, and bulkhead and gasket configuration before ordering.
