A 100 gallon ribbed pest control operator tank for a truck bed or a van
The Norwesco 100 gallon ribbed pest control operator tank in white, part number 42835, is a polyethylene tank 38 inches long, 30 inches wide and 30 inches tall, weighing 41 lb empty. It is the ribbed version of Norwesco's operator tank: the ribs moulded into the wall stiffen the shell, which keeps the sides from bulging when the tank is full and the truck is moving. Pest control operator tanks are built low and flat so they ride in a pickup bed, a service body or a van with the lid still reachable. It has an 8 inch threaded vented lid on top. Norwesco rates it for liquids up to 1.5 specific gravity, which is 12.52 lb per gallon; 100 gallons of water weighs 834 lb. The service limit is 120 F, and Norwesco backs the tank with a 3 year limited full replacement warranty.

On the truck
At 38 by 30 inches it sits across a pickup bed between the wheel wells or along one side of a van floor, and at 30 inches tall it clears most caps and tonneaus; measure the opening before you order. Full, the tank carries 834 lb of water plus its own 41 lb, so strap it through the moulded recesses before the first drive and keep it forward in the bed. The flat bottom sits on the floor without a cradle. If the tank will live on a pad at the shop between jobs, our note on concrete pad sizing for above ground polyethylene tanks tells you what matters, though a tank this size asks little of a slab. The tank sizing calculator and tank sizing guide help if you are choosing between this and the next size.
What goes in it
Water and the dilute pesticide, herbicide and termiticide mixes that polyethylene handles, which is most of what a pest control operator carries. Nothing heavier than 1.5 times water and nothing hotter than 120 F. Rinse after every mix; the ribs give residue a few more corners to dry in, so flush with the lid off and look.
Openings and fittings
- Lid. An 8 inch threaded vented lid on top: fill from a hose, drop a pump intake or a float in, and rinse through it.
- Outlet. No outlet fitting is listed with this tank, so plan on the fitting your pump needs and confirm with us before you order whether the tank ships with one or you are installing your own. A bulkhead fitting needs a flat area of wall at least as wide as its flange, and on a ribbed tank that means fitting between the ribs; the drawing shows where.
- Drawing. Norwesco's drawing, under Technical Drawing on this page, gives the rib layout, the shell profile and the flat areas for fittings and straps.
