The Norwesco 1500 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a blue, high-density linear polyethylene tank that holds 1,500 gallons on a compact 64 x 64-inch footprint. It stands 64 inches in outside diameter and 116 inches tall, so it gives you full-height bulk-liquid capacity without spreading across the pad the way a low-profile or horizontal tank would. If you are sizing a Norwesco vertical storage tank for water, irrigation, rainwater, fire-reserve, or general process-liquid duty, this is the heavy-liquid-rated version of the line.
Will it work for your site?
Capacity is 1,500 gallons in a round shell that measures 64 inches in outside diameter and 116 inches tall, so allow roughly ten feet of overhead for fill access and lid removal, and measure your pad and containment to the 64.0 x 64.0-inch footprint. Weight is the number people forget: filled with water this tank carries about 12,510 pounds, so the slab, ring, or compacted base under it has to be engineered for that load. The shell carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, and the structure is rated to a maximum contents weight of about 23,769 pounds, which is your ceiling if you ever store a liquid heavier than water.
The mistake to avoid: specific gravity
The single most common error on a vertical tank like this is matching capacity but ignoring the weight of what goes inside it. Water fills this tank to about 12,510 pounds; the 1.9 specific gravity rating means the wall thickness tolerates contents up to about 23,769 pounds, or liquids up to 1.9 times the density of water. That is the top SG rating Norwesco builds in this size, so for heavier process liquids you do not need to hunt for an upgraded shell. Before storing anything heavier than water, confirm your liquid's density against the 1.9 rating, confirm the fittings and gaskets you select suit that service, and size your base for the real filled weight, not the empty tank. Run those numbers with the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to a pad design.
Fittings and engineering references
This listing does not pre-spec outlet or fitting sizes, so verify port placement and thread sizes on the technical drawing on this page before you order bulkhead fittings or gaskets. If this tank is part of a rural or remote fire-water reservoir, our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design for rural and remote sites walks through NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection. For vented atmospheric service, our atmospheric vent capacity calculations piece works API 2000 examples on 1,500-to-10,000-gallon verticals, and there is a full 1500 gallon vertical buyer's guide for the 64 x 116 configuration.
