The Norwesco N-40108 is an 1100-gallon vertical liquid storage tank molded in blue, shipped with no pre-installed fittings so you plumb the outlet and lid penetrations to match your own site. It's a low-profile vertical — 53" tall on an 87" diameter footprint — weighing 210 lb empty, FDA Approved, and rated to a 1.9 specific gravity with a 120 F / 48 C maximum service temperature. If you searched "1100 gallon Norwesco vertical liquid" tank and want a clean unit to configure yourself, this is that tank.
Will it hold your liquid?
Filled with plain water, the contents weigh about 9,174 lb, so plan the pad and anchoring for roughly 9,400 lb loaded. The 1.9 specific-gravity rating means the wall is built for heavier-than-water liquids, but read that number as a structural ceiling, not headroom — at the full SG limit the contents can reach about 17,431 lb, which is what the shell is engineered to survive, not a service target. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm your liquid's specific gravity sits under 1.9 before you fill. If your liquid runs heavier than 1.9 SG, this is not the right unit — call and we'll spec a heavier-rated model.
Fittings, lid, and gaskets
This unit ships with no fitting: a blank tank with a 16" lid opening for fill, inspection, and access. You choose the outlet size and height, and — this is the part buyers miss — you must source the bulkhead fittings AND gaskets separately, matched to your liquid, since the gasket is the actual seal and compatibility point. Call 866-418-1777 and we'll spec the outlet and gasket material with you so the penetrations are right the first time. The 87" round footprint spreads the load evenly but needs full, continuous support underneath — a flat, level pad the full diameter. See the concrete pad sizing guide for the ACI framework behind that.
Freight
Norwesco molds this tank at plants across the country, so it ships LTL from the location nearest you — Fairfield, TX; Hanford, CA; Owego, NY; Shawnee, OK; Sheldon, IA; Tooele, UT; Washington Court House, OH; or Washougal, WA — and that short-haul advantage keeps freight down on a tank this size. The one mistake to avoid: buying on capacity alone. Confirm your liquid's specific gravity against the 1.9 rating first, because a heavier liquid in an under-rated tank is how walls fail. Get a live, ZIP-specific number through the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we'll size it, spec the fittings and gaskets, and quote it with you.
