1600 gallons on a 30 degree cone, and no fitting on the sheet
Part N-40814 prints 1600 gallons, a 30 degree cone bottom, an 89 inch circle standing 96 inches tall on a black poly stand, 524 lb empty and 524 lb to ship, a 16 inch lid, a specific gravity cell of 1.9, 13344 lb of water at 8.34 lb per gallon, a maximum contents figure of 25354 lb and a ceiling of 120 F / 48 C. The outlet cell is empty and the name says No Fitting. It is built at Hanford, CA, Washington Court House, OH and Tooele, UT, and it moves LTL.

Four rows at 1600 gallons and two neighbours
| Part | Gallons | Shell | Sheet weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| N-40814 (this record) | 1600 | 89 x 89 x 96 in | 524 lb |
| 40814 | 1600 | 89 x 89 x 96 in | 524 lb |
| N-40813 | 1600 | 89 x 89 x 96 in | 524 lb |
| N-40815 | 1600 | 89 x 89 x 96 in | 558 lb |
| N-40356 | 1050 | 73 x 73 x 86 in | 204 lb |
| N-44337-C | 1720 | 91 x 91 x 78 in | 274 lb |
Four rows print the same capacity in the same 89 by 96 inch envelope, and three of them print the same 524 lb. One of those rows carries this record's own catalogue number without its prefix. The sheet gives both and we print what it says; we do not invent a difference the manufacturer has not published, and if the distinction matters to a purchase order, ask us and we will confirm it against the factory rather than from a web page. N-40815 is the one row in the group that prints a different weight.
The two neighbours are the interesting rows. N-40356 holds 1050 gallons on a 73 inch circle, and N-44337-C holds 1720 gallons on a 91 inch circle standing only 78 inches. That last one is the shape to look at if your ceiling is the constraint, because a cone bottom on a stand spends its height twice: once on the cone and once on the structure holding it clear of the floor.
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.
The drain this record does not settle
On a cone bottom the drain is the whole point of the shape, so this is the section to read slowly. The store name on this record ends in No Fitting, and the outlet cell on the sheet is empty. Those two agree with each other, and between them they mean the record does not tell you what port, thread form or bulkhead comes on the cone apex. We are not going to fill that in. Here is what to settle before you order:
- Ask us to confirm, against this exact part number, what the cone apex is supplied with and what it is drilled for. That is a five minute question to the factory and it is the only answer worth having.
- Decide your line size from the duty, not from the tank. A cone drains what the outlet will pass; if you are dropping a batch into a pump or a tote on a schedule, the port size is the schedule.
- Confirm the valve and the run before the stand is set, because the space under a cone is finite and a valve stack that is designed after the tank is standing is a valve stack that ends up on the floor.
Above the cone, the record publishes a 16 inch lid, and that is the access. Sixteen inches takes an arm, a light and a brush, which is what you want on a vessel you will be emptying and recharging rather than filling once. The inlet cell publishes nothing, so the top opening is your fill route unless you arrange otherwise, and whatever you arrange has to leave the tank a way to breathe while a cone drains fast.
Why a cone floor instead of a flat one
Take the duty from the two cells that carry it. The grade line reads 1.9 and the maximum contents figure reads 25354 lb against 13344 lb of water, so this sheet publishes headroom for a liquid materially denser than water, at or below 120 F / 48 C. That is a wider permission than a water tank's sheet carries, and it is the reason this record shows up in mixing, dosing and process rooms rather than beside a hose reel.
The 30 degree cone is the other half of the answer. A flat floor holds a heel: whatever settles, separates or refuses to move sits in the bottom and you either live with it or you get in the tank. A cone at 30 degrees keeps the contents moving toward a single low point, so the tank empties toward the drain rather than toward the middle of a floor, and what settles ends up where you can take it out. That is why people buy cones for slurries, for anything that stratifies, for batch work where the next batch must not inherit the last one, and for any duty where a clean-out between runs is part of the job rather than an annual event.
The honest limitation is the one every cone buyer meets: the tank cannot stand on its own bottom. This record comes with a black poly stand as part of its name, and the sheet says nothing further about that stand, so plan the floor under it, the levelling of it and the access around it with your own installer and with the real load in front of you.

Three plants, 524 pounds, LTL
The plant cells name Hanford, CA, Washington Court House, OH and Tooele, UT, and the ships-from cell names California, Ohio and Utah. Three origins spread across the country is the best freight news on any record in this batch: the tank that reaches you is usually not the one that travelled furthest. The mode reads LTL, and 524 lb inside an 89 by 96 inch envelope plus its stand is priced on the space it occupies. Send us the destination on the freight cost estimator and we will quote the lane that actually serves it; the listed price is before freight.
Receive it at the seat. Before anything is lifted, look at where the cone sits into its stand, all the way round, and check that the contact is even and nothing has been pushed out of shape in transit. That seat is the only place this tank touches its structure, and it is far easier to look at on a trailer than it is once the tank is standing over a valve and a drum.
A note on the paperwork: the material cell and the colour cell are blank on this record even though the name says HDLPE and the stand is black, and the warranty cell is blank as well. We print the sheet as it stands rather than filling cells from a neighbouring row; if you need any of those confirmed in writing before you buy, ask and we will get it from the factory.
Batching, settling, and the clean-out
The jobs that suit a cone are the jobs where the bottom matters more than the top: batch make-up where each run has to start clean, holding a product that separates on standing, feeding a pump that must not be fed sediment, and any duty where the drain-down is a timed part of the process. The 1.9 grade line on this record is what makes it a candidate for duties a water-graded shell should not be asked to take.
If you are still deciding on volume, the tank sizing calculator will turn a batch schedule into a capacity faster than an argument will, and the sizing guide is the longer read behind it. For this exact configuration, our full buyer's guide to the 1600 gallon 30 degree cone bottom with a poly stand goes through the install and the plumbing decisions in far more detail than a product page can.
One install specific to close on: leave yourself real working room under the apex. Whatever the drain arrangement turns out to be, you will be opening and closing it, and a cone that empties into a space you can only reach on your knees is a cone you will stop draining properly by the second month. Write the outlet fitting size and material on the site plan; the replacement is ordered by those two words.
