The Enduraplas 5200-gallon black vertical storage tank is a large-format polyethylene reservoir for bulk water storage where one tall footprint beats stacking several smaller tanks. The full stated envelope is 164 inches high on a 100 x 100-inch footprint, holding 5,200 gallons in a black shell that blocks light to discourage algae growth in stored water. If you have been searching for a black vertical storage tank in the 5,000-gallon class, this is the size that anchors a rural fire reserve, an irrigation supply, or an industrial process-water bank.
Will it work for your site
Capacity is 5,200 gallons. The tank carries a 1.9 specific-gravity rating, so for plain water (SG 1.0) you are using roughly half its structural rating - it is over-built for potable and irrigation water, and equally suited to denser liquids up to 1.9 SG. That rating sets a weight bracket that matters for your foundation and rigging: about 43,368 pounds full of water, up to a maximum rated contents weight of 82,399 pounds at 1.9 SG. Empty, it is light enough to set by machine; full, it is unforgiving of a poor base. Size and pour your pad for the fluid density you will actually store, and review our concrete pad sizing guide before construction. If you are still confirming the right volume for your draw-down and refill cycle, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk through the math.
Fittings and outlets
Confirm the bulkhead and outlet locations on the technical drawing on this page against your plumbing plan before you set the tank, since a 164-inch-tall vertical is not something you want to reposition once it is filled and plumbed. For the exact fitting and outlet schedule, or to match inlet, overflow, and discharge locations to your layout, call 866-418-1777.
Common uses and the mistake to avoid
This size is a workhorse for rural and remote water: fire-water reserves, irrigation, and reuse-water banks. If you are designing a private fire-protection reservoir, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection - worth reading for any black tank in outdoor service. For grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate aggregation, the industrial water reuse topology guide shows how a tank this size fits a quality-banded storage train. The most common mistake at this scale is under-building the foundation: a full 5,200-gallon load punishes an uneven or undersized pad, so treat the base as part of the tank purchase.
