The Norwesco 1500 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank in white is a ground-standing vertical storage tank molded from high density linear polyethylene. It stands 116 inches tall on a 64 x 64 inch footprint and holds 1,500 gallons. The 1.9 specific gravity rating is the number that sets this tank apart: the wall is built to hold liquids substantially denser than water.
Will this tank work for your liquid?
Rated to 1.9 specific gravity, this tank handles dense liquids - brine, many fertilizers, and heavier chemistries - that would exceed a standard water-only tank wall rated near 1.0 to 1.1. The rule is simple: if your product's specific gravity is at or below 1.9, the wall is rated for it. Filled with plain water, this tank carries 12,510 pounds of contents; at the full 1.9 rating, contents can reach 23,769 pounds. If you are unsure how the height and footprint fit your site, or how to right-size capacity for your draw and refill cycle, run the numbers with the Tank Sizing Calculator and read the Tank Sizing Guide before you order.
Foundation and dimensions
The single most important install fact: your foundation must support the full rated load of 23,769 pounds, not the 12,510-pound water weight - engineer the pad, ring, or slab accordingly. The tank measures 116 inches tall on a 64 x 64 inch footprint, so plan doorway clearance, ceiling height, and pad size around those figures. This is a vertical storage tank in the 1500 gallon class, white in color.
Fittings - confirm before you order
Fitting, bulkhead, and gasket configuration on this model is not yet listed here. Confirm outlet size, vent, and lid and gasket compatibility for your liquid before ordering by calling 866-418-1777, and check the technical drawing on this page for the molded penetration layout.
Freight and how it ships
This is a large vertical tank, so it ships LTL freight on its own. Norwesco molds this model at several plants - Fairfield, TX; Griffin, GA; Hanford, CA; Owego, NY; St. Bonifacius, MN; Tooele, UT; and Washington Court House, OH - and we ship from the location nearest your ZIP, so freight is kept as short as the network allows and quoted live to your ZIP, never as a flat or freight price.

If this tank is part of a rural or remote fire-water reservoir, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection.
