A 100 gallon flat bottom utility tank that fits where bigger tanks cannot
The Norwesco 100 gallon utility tank, part number 41460, is a natural white polyethylene tank 38 inches long, 26 inches wide and 26 inches tall, weighing 50 lb empty. It is a low, flat bottomed box of a tank that sits on a bench, a deck, a trailer floor or a pickup bed without a cradle or a stand. It comes with a 1 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting at the outlet and an 8 inch threaded vented lid on top. The tank is rated for liquids up to 1.5 specific gravity, which covers water, most liquid fertilizers and many common chemicals; 100 gallons of water weighs 834 lb. The resin is FDA compliant, Norwesco lists its water tanks under NSF/ANSI 61 (the listing names no models), the service limit is 120 F, and Norwesco backs it with a 3 year warranty. The natural white wall lets you see the level from across the room.

Where it goes
The 26 inch height is the reason to buy this shape. It clears the sides of a pickup bed, goes under a shelf or a bench, and leaves the lid at a height where you can see into it. A flat bottomed tank transfers its weight through whatever is under it, so the surface matters more than its strength: sweep the spot first, because a bolt head, a weld bead or a stone under 834 lb of water becomes a permanent pressure point. Any sound bench, slab or truck floor takes the load; our guide to concrete pad sizing for above ground polyethylene tanks is there if the tank is going on a new pad outdoors. On a vehicle, strap it down over the body, never through the lid, and read the farm fleet DOT classification guide for how a portable utility tank is treated on the road.
What goes in it
Water for a crew, a greenhouse or livestock, spray mix for a small rig, and the liquids that polyethylene handles without comment are the normal loads. Check anything stronger in our chemical compatibility guide before it goes in, and keep the contents at or below 120 F. Liquids heavier than 1.5 times water need a heavy duty tank. If you are deciding between this and a vertical tank of the same volume, the tank sizing calculator and tank sizing guide walk through the choice.
Openings and fittings
- Outlet. A 1 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting, factory installed low in the wall. A 1 inch ball valve or a hose barb threads straight in. Dry-fit the valve so the handle swings clear of the tank before you tighten it, and support any hose so the fitting carries liquid, not weight.
- Lid. An 8 inch threaded vented lid on top: big enough to fill from a hose or a bucket, pour concentrate in, and get a brush inside. Keep the vent clear so a pump can draw without pulling the tank walls in.
- Drawing. Norwesco's drawing for this tank, linked under Technical Drawing on this page, shows the exact outlet and lid positions.
Sizes nearby
Norwesco makes several utility tanks close to this size and the differences are in the footprint, not the gallons. The 100 gallon portable flat bottom utility tank is the other 100 gallon shape. One step up: the 110 gallon portable flat bottom utility tank. One step down: the 68 gallon portable flat bottom utility tank. Measure the space first and pick the footprint that fits it.
Shipping and receiving
The tank ships LTL at freight class 250 from Norwesco's Burnet, Texas plant, 38 by 26 by 26 inches and 50 lb. One person can carry it off the truck. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP. If you are ordering it with fittings or a second tank, put everything on one order so it travels together. At the tailgate, check the part number against 41460 on the bill of lading, look at the corners and the bulkhead fitting for transit damage, and fill it with water the first time before it carries anything else.
