The Norwesco 200 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank ships without fittings, which means you specify exactly where bulkheads and outlets go for your install rather than working around a pre-drilled layout. It is a single-wall polyethylene vertical storage tank built for ambient-temperature water and dilute solutions in agriculture, rainwater collection, fire-water reserve, and general storage duty. If you are sizing a private fire-protection reserve or staging multiple tanks, this 200-gallon footprint is a common building block.
Will it work for your application?
Filled with water, this tank carries roughly 1,668 lb at full capacity, so the pad, ring, or stand underneath has to be flat, fully supporting, and rated for that load before you fill. Plan the base first; a vertical poly tank wants continuous support under the entire bottom, not point loads. Because it leaves the factory without fittings, confirm your outlet height, bulkhead size, and gasket or seal material against the liquid you are storing before you drill, so the penetration lands where your plumbing needs it and seals to your fluid. Use the technical drawing on this page to verify diameter, height, and wall reference dimensions against your space, and run your volume through our Tank Sizing Calculator or the Tank Sizing Guide if you are deciding between this and an adjacent size.
Service limit: know your fluid's specific gravity
This is a water-class, single-wall poly tank for ambient temperatures and water or dilute solutions only. No hot fill. Before you store anything other than water, confirm your fluid's specific gravity: water sits at 1.0, and if your liquid is denser than that, size up to a heavier-wall, higher-SG-rated Norwesco vertical instead of this water-duty tank. The 1,668 lb figure above is the filled weight of water at SG 1.0; a denser fluid weighs more and changes both the base rating and the tank you should be buying.
Picking the right 200-gallon vertical
One detail to get right up front: a "no fittings" tank is the correct choice only if you intend to add your own bulkhead fittings, not if you expected a ready-to-plumb outlet. If you would rather receive it pre-fitted, look at a fitted version of this size instead. The natural-white wall lets you eyeball liquid level, which matters for water storage and metered draw-down. For deeper background on this exact tank and how the dimensional variants compare, see the buyer's guides for the 200 Gallon Vertical Natural White, the 30 x 72 (41856) version, and the 35 x 59 version.

Freight
This tank ships LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP code, with no freight included in the list price. It ships empty and dry, so the 1,668 lb filled weight above is not the shipping weight. Norwesco molds at plants nationwide, including Fairfield, TX; Griffin, GA; Hanford, CA; Owego, NY; Shawnee, OK; Sheldon, IA; St. Bonifacius, MN; Tooele, UT; Washington Court House, OH; and Washougal, WA, so your order routes from the nearest stocking plant to keep transit short.
