Low-Profile Tanks
Low-Profile Tanks — Comprehensive Catalog
Low-profile polyethylene tanks are engineered for installations where vertical clearance is the binding constraint — shallow septic excavations, doorway clearance, pickup-bed loading, basements, crawlspaces, and trailer underdecks. Wider than tall geometry maintains capacity while staying under typical 36"–48" clearance limits. Catalog spans Norwesco, Snyder Industries, Chem-Tainer, Enduraplas, and Bushman low-profile septic, water, and utility SKUs.
Applications
- Shallow-bury septic installation (IAPMO-certified models — verify on listing)
- Doorway-passable utility tanks (28"–32" passable through standard interior doors)
- Pickup-bed loading (under truck-bed rail height)
- Basement and crawlspace water storage
- Underdeck trailer / RV potable water storage (NSF 61 models available)
Compliance & Standards
Typically rotomolded to ASTM D1998; FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 resin compliance varies by model (see each product's Specifications). Low-profile septic tanks: verify IAPMO listing and your local code requirement — many jurisdictions require IAPMO IGC 188 or NSF/ANSI 40 certification for new septic installations. Burial-depth maximum varies by model and soil condition; confirm cover depth and ribbing rating against your install plan.
Engineering & Selection
Two specifications drive low-profile selection. (1) Overall height — measure your clearance envelope (doorway, basement ceiling, truck bed rail) and subtract 2" for handling clearance. (2) Footprint — low-profile tanks trade vertical for horizontal, so confirm length × width fits your install area. For shallow-bury septic, verify excavation depth requirement vs. inlet/outlet invert elevation.
Freight & Delivery
Tanks ship LTL motor freight from the closest stocking warehouse to your delivery ZIP. Typical transit 5–10 business days. Liftgate available at delivery (per-shipment fee). Always inspect at delivery and note damage on the bill of lading before signing — that is the carrier claim trigger. Bulk-order consolidation reduces per-tank freight 25–40%. Get your LTL freight quote by ZIP, or call 866-418-1777 for same-business-day quoted pricing.
Sizing & Selection
Septic models: match capacity to bedroom count per local code (typically 1,000-gal min for 1–3 bedrooms, 1,250-gal for 4, 1,500-gal for 5+). Water/utility models: match to fill cycle and draw rate. 866-418-1777 for code review.
