The Norwesco 2000 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank in blue is a 64-inch diameter polyethylene vertical tank standing 152 inches tall, rated for liquids up to a 1.9 specific gravity. That high SG rating is the headline number here: it gives you real margin above plain water (1.0) and covers most water and water-like applications without forcing you up to a heavier-duty vessel. Filled with water this tank holds roughly 16,680 lb, and the shell is rated to carry contents up to about 31,692 lb at full 1.9 SG, so the structure is sized well beyond a water-only fill. Norwesco runs four plants nationwide, so there is a good chance one sits within reasonable LTL range of your site.
Will this 2000 gallon vertical work for your application?
Use the spec set to confirm fit before you order. The footprint is 64 inches in diameter, so plan a pad at least that wide plus working clearance, and verify your 152-inch overall height clears your siting. At 12.7 feet tall on a 64-inch base, this size typically calls for outdoor or high-bay placement and a crane or forklift to set it, so build that into your install plan. The 1.9 SG rating is the number to check against your liquid: water and most water-like solutions sit well under it, and the full-water weight of 16,680 lb tells you what the loaded pad and base support must carry day to day. If you are weighing capacity against your draw and refill schedule, run the numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and read the Tank Sizing Guide before committing to a size. For larger vertical programs, the API 2000 vent-sizing worked examples walk through inbreathing and outbreathing capacity on 1,500 to 10,000 gallon verticals so your venting keeps pace with liquid movement.
Fittings, SG, and the mistake to avoid
Confirm the as-supplied fitting and outlet layout with us before you build out your pad and connections, and line those up with your plumbing first; call 866-418-1777 and we will walk through the configuration. The most common mistake on a high-SG tank like this one is over-trusting the rating: the 1.9 SG number describes what the tank shell is rated to hold, not chemical compatibility. This is a water-class listing, so for any chemical service confirm the specific liquid, its concentration, and temperature against the manufacturer's resistance data along with your fitting and gasket materials before filling. If your liquid runs heavier than 1.9 SG, you need a higher-rated tank, not this one. Cross-shopping the field is worth doing too; the Snyder vs Norwesco vs Chem-Tainer 2000 gallon comparison and the 2000 gallon 64 x 152 buyer's guide lay out how the comparable verticals stack up.
Rugged storage for demanding sites
For rural and remote installations, this size of polyethylene vertical also serves as a fire-water reservoir; the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate service. Whatever the use, the polyethylene construction and the 1.9 SG rating make this Norwesco vertical storage tank a workhorse for bulk liquid storage.
