Norwesco 2035 Gal Elliptical Tank Band MN, OK, TX: 87 inches of steel and a 36 lb ticket
Part number 62079 is a Norwesco tank band. The material cell reads Steel. The record gives it as 87 inches long, 2 inches wide and 52 inches high, and the shipped cell repeats those same three figures, which tells you the band ships as the bare part rather than inside a box built around it. Empty weight reads 36 lb and the ship weight cell reads the same 36 lb. The freight class cell reads LTL, the ship mode cell reads LTL and the NMFC cell reads 156600. That is the whole record. The gallon figure in the name belongs to the tank the band is named for and not to the band, and this page treats it that way: there is no capacity cell here, no specific gravity, no temperature ceiling, no warranty and no certification cell of any kind on a part like this one.

Three plants, four states in the cell, and a lane priced on length
Start with where it comes from, because on a part this light that is the whole cost story. The plant cell prints St. Bonifacius in Minnesota, Shawnee in Oklahoma and Fairfield in Texas. The class cell reads LTL, which is a ship mode rather than a class, and the NMFC cell reads 156600 beside it. Read those two together and the lane is a freight lane, not a parcel lane, and the reason is the 87 inches, not the 36 lb. A part that is seven feet long and two inches wide occupies a linear foot of trailer that a carrier charges for whether it weighs 36 lb or ten times that, and the dimensional side of the tariff is where a band surprises a first-time buyer. Get the lane priced before the purchase order goes out: the listed price is before freight, and the freight cost estimator will take your ZIP and return the number for your own address rather than a regional guess. One more thing about the name. It ends with MN, OK and TX as part of the catalogue string; the record does not say what those three abbreviations stand for, and nothing here reads them as an approval, a restriction or a rule about where the part may go.
What the record says about hardware, and what it leaves to you
The hardware question is the first one a buyer asks about a band, and this record answers almost none of it, which is worth knowing before you order rather than after. There is no fastener cell. There is no hole pattern, no hole count, no bolt callout, no thread form and no note about whether anything at all ships alongside the steel. There is no working load figure and no torque figure on the sheet, so nothing on this page states one; what the band will carry, and what it is tightened to, are decided against your own tank and your own mounting detail and against the tank maker's own instructions, not against this catalogue record. What the record does give you is shape. The band reads 87 inches long, 2 inches wide and 52 inches high, and those three cells together describe a long, narrow steel part with a formed arc rather than a flat strap in a coil. The 2 inch dimension is the face width, and it is the number that decides whether the band sits inside the cradle, saddle or frame you already have. The honest limitation on this page is that single point: the record describes the part and says nothing about the interface. Measure the seat the band has to live in before you buy, because the sheet will not do it for you.
One part number, standing on its own
There is no related-parts cell on 62079. No second band, no alternate length, no stainless version and no kit are named anywhere on the record, so there is no row here to set beside it and no comparison to make honestly. That is a real constraint on a page like this, not a gap in the writing: with accessories the part number is the specification. If your drawing or your tank's own paperwork calls for this band, 62079 is the number to put on the purchase order and our team confirms availability against that number at the plants above.
Ordering a band by its number instead of by eye
Bands are the parts that get ordered wrong, and the reason is always the same: somebody measures the tank instead of reading the part number. The record in front of you is tied to one named tank family by its own name, and it gives you three dimensions to confirm against whatever is already on the ground. Two jobs are worth doing before you order. First, find the part number stamped, printed or recorded on the band you are replacing, or in the tank manufacturer's own parts documentation, and match it; a photograph of the old part beside a tape measure is worth more than a description over the phone. Second, if this is a new installation rather than a replacement, take the band dimensions above to whoever engineered the mount and let them confirm the seat before the steel is bought. Neither step costs anything and both of them are cheaper than a return freight charge on a seven foot part.
Sight down it before you sign
Thirty-six pounds is a one-person lift and nothing about receiving this part is heavy work, but the shape makes one check worth doing while the driver is still in the yard. Get the band flat on the trailer deck or on the ground, stand at one end of the 87 inches and sight down the length the way a carpenter reads a board. A long, narrow steel part travels leaning against other freight, and the middle is where it gives; a bow you can see from the end is a conversation to have with a driver present, not a discovery to make on installation day with a crane already booked. Look at the 2 inch face at the same time and note any twist along it. Write the part number on the receiving paperwork before the packaging goes in the skip, because once a bare band is in the rack with three others nothing on it tells you which tank it was bought for. A photo of the tank on its pad, full, on day one is worth keeping; it is the baseline every later inspection is compared against.
