The Enduraplas 8000 Gallon Black Vertical Storage Tank (SKU THV08000B) is a full-size bulk polyethylene vertical storage tank built for high-volume water and liquid storage. It stands 142 inches tall inside a 144 x 144 inch envelope, molded in black polyethylene to cut light penetration and slow algae growth in stored water. Its 1.9 specific gravity rating means it is rated for liquids heavier than water, not just plain water.
Will this vertical tank work for your site?
Size the pad and the plumbing around the full load, not the empty shell. At 8,000 gallons of water this tank carries roughly 66,720 lb of contents, and its 1.9 specific gravity rating carries that up to about 126,768 lb, or liquids up to 1.9 times the density of water. The tank base is round, but it sits within a 144.0 x 144.0 inch (12 x 12 ft) square envelope, so pour the pad for the full square, flat, level, and continuous under the base, not just a 144 inch circle. For pad thickness and reinforcement, work through Concrete Pad Sizing for Above-Ground Polyethylene Tanks before you pour. To confirm this size fits your draw-down and refill cycle, run the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide. See the technical drawing on this page for dimensional detail, and confirm inlet, outlet, vent, and manway sizes against your plumbing before ordering, or call 866-418-1777 to verify the fitting package for THV08000B.
Common uses and the mistake to avoid
A vertical storage tank this size is a workhorse for bulk water storage, rural and remote fire-water reservoirs, and industrial water reuse trains that aggregate grey water, rainwater, and condensate. If you are building a private fire-protection reserve, or running this tank in cold-climate service out of the North Dakota region, size the volume and plan freeze protection with Fire-Water Reservoir Tank Design for Rural and Remote Sites. For reuse and quality-banded storage, Industrial Water Reuse Tank Topology walks the treatment sequencing. The mistake to avoid: underbuilding the foundation. Once filled, this tank is anchored by tens of thousands of pounds, and a pad that settles unevenly puts stress on the tank wall. Get the base right the first time.
Freight and how to order
This Enduraplas vertical tank ships LTL, quoted live to your ZIP from the nearest plant: Converse, TX or Neche, ND. Because an 8,000-gallon tank is an oversized load, freight is quoted per destination rather than listed. Estimate your LTL freight with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote the tank plus LTL freight to your ZIP and confirm lead time from the closest plant.
