Norwesco 10500 Gallon Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

Four rows near this capacity, two shells

Three catalogue numbers print the 130 by 130 by 202 inch shell and a fourth publishes only its height, with the plan dimensions and weight cells empty; that is how the sheet issues it and that is how it is reproduced. The two neighbouring capacities are a different proposition altogether, both on wider circles at lower heights. Read the table across the diameter and the height columns rather than down the gallons column: it is the 130 inch circle carried to 202 inches that makes this record what it is, and no other row on the list offers that combination of ground area and headroom.

Still deciding between these? Freight to your ZIP often settles it; the wider tanks ship differently. Or call 866-418-1777 and we will walk the table with you.

Above the liquid line: the 22 inch opening

The manway cell reads 22 inches, threaded and vented, and the vent is the part to think about first on a shell that stands 202 inches. Seventeen feet of standing column over a 3 inch bottom port moves quickly once a valve opens, and the air that replaces it has to come back through the top at the same rate. That is the job of the vent. It also puts a permanent condition on the top of this tank: anything screwed into the opening or laid over it, now or in a decade, has to leave the air path working, or the draw rate quietly changes and nobody connects the two events.

Below, the port is described as a 3 inch PP female NPT bulkhead fitting with a 2 inch reducer. Female thread in polypropylene means the mating part is male; the reducer is part of the assembly the sheet describes, so the line can leave at either size without a second hole through the wall. Nothing else is published for penetrations. The inlet cell carries a dash, which means the fill arrangement is not specified on this record at all and should be agreed with us rather than assumed.

Two cells fix the limits and both are this part number's own. The temperature cell reads 120 F / 48 C, a ceiling for the contents as much as for a black shell standing in the open. The grade line reads 1.9 against 166383 lb of maximum contents: the first states the density the shell is written for, the second states where that stops.

Which cells belong to 47929 alone

Three rows in one shell means the silhouette tells you nothing, so start with the family and then read what only this row prints: 2400 lb empty, a grade line of 1.9, 166383 lb of maximum contents, a 22 inch vented manway and a five year warranty cell. That block is the record. When a quote comes back, it is the block you check, because the shell dimensions will match on more than one part number and the cells will not.

The ground question follows from the shape. A base under eleven feet across carrying 87570 lb of water concentrates a great deal of load into a modest circle, and a poly shell takes the form of whatever it stands on, so level and continuous across the entire base beats strong in the middle. Our pad sizing framework for above-ground poly tanks takes those decisions in the order they arrive on site, and the tank sizing calculator with the tank sizing guide will confirm whether 10500 gallons is the number your duty actually wants.

The honest limitation on this record is access rather than capacity: one 22 inch opening on top and one port at the bottom is a tank designed to be filled, drawn and rinsed, and any service that needs more connections than that needs a conversation before the order, not after it.

Tall storage where the pad is small and the roof is high

The duty this shell suits is bulk volume on a constrained footprint in the open air: a tank farm boxed in by roads and buildings, a reclaim installation squeezed into an existing bund, a buffer beside a line that has ground for eleven feet and nothing more. Where the water is being recovered rather than bought, our piece on quality-banded reuse storage is the one that changes the layout, because it decides what shares a vessel and what does not. Where the duty is stored reserve on a remote property, the rural reservoir design write-up covers the cold weather work that usually drives the pipe routing.

An install specific: plan the climb before the tank is set. At 202 inches the manway is beyond a portable ladder, and the platform, cage or lift that reaches it is far cheaper to place while the pad is being formed than to retrofit around a full tank.

Albertville loads it; the class cell reads 300

One plant is printed for this part number, Albertville, Alabama, and Alabama is the only state in the ships-from cell. With a single origin, the route from northern Alabama to your gate is the whole freight calculation, and on a 202 inch shell the route matters as much as the mileage because height restrictions do not negotiate. Mode reads LTL, class cell 300. Put the destination into the freight cost estimator and we will quote the lane that exists; the listed price is before freight.

Measure the circle twice. Take a tape across the 130 inch base while the tank is still on the trailer, write the number down, and take it again after the tank is standing on your pad; two matching readings say the shell arrived and was set without being distorted by the lift.

Once it is in service, put the manway inspection on the same schedule as the pump maintenance, because the opening seventeen feet up is the one nobody walks past by accident. Write the outlet fitting size and material on the site plan; the replacement is ordered by those two words.
