Norwesco 1625 Gallon Black Heavy Duty Horizontal Leg Tank

Where it goes

At 139 inches long and only 63 inches wide this is a narrow tank, which suits a trailer deck, the side of a building or a row of tanks on a shared pad. The moulded legs sit flat without a cradle; put every leg on a continuous, level surface. On a vehicle, strap through the moulded leg recesses, never over the manway, and use the support bands Norwesco makes for this tank. Our guide to Norwesco applicator and leg tanks for fertilizer and the DOT non-roadable trailer rules covers how these tanks are classified on the road, and the farm fleet DOT classification guide covers the agricultural exemption. Our 1625 gallon horizontal leg tank size page compares every version at this capacity.

What goes in it

Fertilizer blends, brines and treatment chemicals heavier than water are what the 1.9 rating is for. If you blend in the tank, read our note on fertilizer blend stratification and how to catch it before the spreader runs off spec. Check chemicals in our chemical compatibility guide before the first fill; calcium chloride, ferric chloride, phosphoric acid, potassium hydroxide and sulfuric acid are the entries heavy duty buyers open most. Keep the contents at or below 120 F. For the volume itself, use the tank sizing calculator and tank sizing guide.

Openings and fittings

1. Outlet. A 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting, factory installed low in the end wall. Your valve, camlock or hose adapter threads straight into it. Support the valve and the first length of hose so the fitting carries liquid, not hardware.
2. Manway. A 16 inch threaded vented manway on top, 68 inches up and reachable from the ground: wide enough to fill from a hose, drop a suction line in, and clean through.
3. Drawing. Norwesco's drawing for this tank, linked under Technical Drawing on this page, shows the outlet and manway positions and the leg layout for strap planning.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 300 from Norwesco's Washington Court House, Ohio plant, 139 by 63 by 68 inches and 514 lb. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP. A forklift makes unloading simple. At the tailgate, check the part number against 40834 on the bill of lading, look at all the legs for transit damage, and fill it with water the first time before it carries anything heavier.
