Norwesco 15 Degree Cone Bottom Stand for 300 Gallon Tank

No companion rows are printed against this part number

This record carries an empty sibling list, so there is no table of alternate heights, angles or capacities to lay beside it. A stand is sold to a tank rather than to a range, and the only tank named anywhere on this record is the one in the title. If you are still deciding between cone angles rather than between stands, that decision belongs upstream of this page: our cone bottom buyer's guide to the 15, 30 and 45 degree selection works through what each angle costs you in height and what it gives you at the discharge, and the cone bottom tank stand compatibility matrix is where the pairing of tank to stand actually gets settled across brands. Come back to this page when the tank half is fixed, because that is when a specific stand part number starts to matter.

The floor under the stand, not the pad under a tank

The site question for a stand is different from the site question for a tank, and it is worth separating them. A tank spreads its weight over its whole footprint. A stand puts everything into wherever its frame contacts the ground, and it does that over a 31 inch by 31 inch square, which is a little over two and a half feet on a side. So the surface under it wants to be flat, continuous and hard enough not to take an impression: a poured floor, a proper slab, a steel deck. Gravel, a wooden bed with a soft board in it, dirt that turns to mud in the spring, any of those will let one part of the frame settle and the whole assembly above it goes out of plumb. Where that surface is concrete and it does not exist yet, the framework we use for sizing and detailing it is set out in our guide to concrete pad sizing for above ground polyethylene tanks. The second site number is the 26 inches of height, and it is the one people actually buy a stand for. Everything the stand raises sits 26 inches further up than it would on the floor, which is the space the discharge, the valve, the union and the container underneath have to share. Measure that space before the order, not after, along with the headroom above, because raising a tank by 26 inches also raises whatever opening you have to reach at the top of it. Nothing on this record tells you what the frame will carry, and we will not estimate it; the geometry above is what the sheet supports and the pairing is a question for our team against part number 41486.

What the four filled cells actually say

Frame material

Steel, with nothing after it. No finish, no coating, no section size and no gauge is printed anywhere on this record, so treat the material cell as the single word it is.

Plan cell

31 inches by 31 inches. That square is what has to fit on your floor and what has to be clear of the wall, the door swing and the route people walk, and it is the dimension to take to the site before anything else.

Height cell

26 inches. Read it as the clearance you are buying and check it against the container, the valve and the hose that have to live in that space.

Unpublished

A bolt pattern is not among the published cells, and neither is a hardware count, an anchor detail, a leg count or a fixing to the floor. Confirm all of it against 41486 before you order the concrete anchors, because this record will not settle it for you.

That is a short specification and it is the whole of it. The useful consequence is that a stand purchase is a fitment conversation rather than a catalogue exercise: give us the tank, the part number of this stand and the floor it is going on, and we will confirm the pairing before anything ships. The honest limitation on this page is that the record does not publish what the frame is capable of carrying, and nothing in this page should be read as saying so.

Why a cone bottom needs a frame at all

A cone bottom tank has no floor to stand on. That is the whole point of the shape, and it is also the reason a stand appears on the order beside it: the tank has to be held clear of the ground so the sloped bottom can drain to its low point and so there is room under that point for a valve and whatever catches what comes out. A flat bottom tank sits on a pad and needs nothing; a cone needs structure, and the structure is bought separately. This part number is the one the catalogue puts against a 300 gallon 15 degree tank, and it is sold for that pairing rather than as a general purpose frame. What we will not do on this page is tell you how the tank should be seated in it, what it should be secured with or what the arrangement can take, because none of that is on the record. If the tank itself is not yet chosen, settle the volume first with our tank sizing calculator and tank sizing guide, because the stand follows the tank and never the other way around.

One plant in Burnet, and a carrier name where a class belongs

This is a single origin record. One plant is printed, Burnet in Texas, and the ship-from cell reads Texas and nothing else, which makes the lane easy to quote and unforgiving if you are a long way from central Texas. The freight cells want reading as they stand: the class cell reads UPS, which is a carrier name and not a freight class, while the ship mode cell reads LTL and the NMFC cell reads 178690. We print what the sheet says and reconcile none of it; the quote works off the lane and the dimensions either way. At 90 lb with a 31 inch square plan, this is a part that gets moved by two people or by a pallet jack and not carried casually. The listed price is before freight; run your ZIP through the freight cost estimator for the real figure on the Texas lane. When it lands, set the frame down on a floor you know is flat and put your weight on it corner by corner before it goes anywhere near a tank. Steel that rocks on a flat floor arrived that way, and that is a conversation to have while the paperwork is still open. Keep the shipping label with the part number on it until the stand is installed and signed off. Note the pad height and the outlet height on the site plan while the tape is out; the next pipe run will need both.
