Norwesco 2035 Gallon Horizontal Elliptical Leg Tank in Black

Six plants, seven states, and an oversize lane

Buy this tank and the first thing that decides your cost is where it comes from. The record names six plants: St. Bonifacius, Minnesota; Lancaster, Ohio; Griffin, Georgia; Shawnee, Oklahoma; Tooele, Utah; and Hanford, California. The ship-from field names seven states, and the seventh is Texas, which has no plant of its own on this record. We print both fields as the sheet carries them rather than reconciling them for you, and we confirm the actual origin at quote time, because on a body this size the origin is most of the freight number.

The second thing that decides it is the class. Freight class and ship mode both read OVS on this record, and 142 inches of length against 84 inches of width is why: this is not a parcel and it is not an ordinary pallet, it is a shaped load that takes its own space on a trailer. Plan the receiving end around that. You want a clear approach, room for the truck to sit while it is unloaded, and a lift with the reach to take a 605 lb shell without dragging it. Once it is on the ground the site question is simple to state and easy to get wrong: continuous, level, load-bearing support under the full 142 by 84 inch outline, with real bearing under every moulded leg rather than under most of them. A leg that sits high on delivery day is still sitting high when the shell above it is holding 16972 lb of water. If you are still settling on the volume, the tank sizing calculator turns a duty cycle into gallons and the tank sizing guide covers choosing a body shape once the number is fixed.

Two black rows in the same shell

The thing worth knowing before you order is that this sheet carries two black 2035 gallon rows, not one. N-40621 is this record at 605 lb and N-40775 is a second black record at 685 lb, with the same capacity and the same 142 by 84 by 56 inch dimensions. The sheet gives both weights and does not explain the difference, so neither will we; what we will do is make sure the part number on your purchase order is the part number that arrives, because on a page where two rows share a colour and a shape that is the mistake that actually happens. The rest of the family is easier to read. N-40387 keeps the 142 inch length and narrows to 71 inches of width for 1635 gallons, which is the row to look at if your available strip of ground is long but not wide. N-40283 goes the other way at 140 by 90 by 72 inches for 2635 gallons and is the heaviest row here at 955 lb, so it wants more lift as well as more ground.

Other makers in the running? 866-418-1777 will compare them honestly; Norwesco, Snyder, Chem-Tainer, Enduraplas and Bushman are all here, or price freight on this one.

A 16 inch vented manway at 56 inches of height

• Access is a 16 inch threaded vented manway, and the lid size field agrees at 16 inches. It sits on top of a 56 inch body, which is chest height on most people: high enough to work at standing, low enough that you do not need a platform to open it.
• Because the manway is vented, treat the vent as a working part rather than a lid detail. Anything that blocks it changes how the tank behaves on a fast fill or a fast draw, and it is the cheapest thing on the tank to keep clear.
• The outlet field gives a 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting. Size the line and the valve to 2 inches and do not neck down at the shell.
• The service ceiling is 120 F / 48 C. That is a ceiling, not a target, and it is the only thermal figure this record publishes.
• Specific gravity is given as 1.5 and the maximum contents weight as 25458 lb, against 16972 lb for the same volume in water.

The honest limitation on this record is the inlet: there is no inlet field on the sheet at all. On a leg tank of this size that normally means filling happens through the manway or through a connection you specify yourself, and it means nothing about a top fill arrangement should be read off this page. Ask us and we will put the question to Norwesco in writing rather than guess at it. The install specific worth carrying away: hang no pipe weight on the bulkhead. Support every run independently within the first few feet of the shell, so that thermal movement in the line never arrives at the 2 inch fitting as a load.

What 2035 gallons of low, wide body is for

Strip the name back and what this record describes is a shape: 2035 gallons carried low and wide on moulded legs, one 16 inch opening on top, one 2 inch outlet, a 120 F / 48 C ceiling and a specific gravity figure of 1.5. Everything past that is your liquid, your plumbing and your ground, and three of our articles cover the decisions that sit around it honestly. The article on Norwesco applicator and leg tanks explains how tanks in this family are scoped, which is the reading to do before anyone assumes a use this record does not describe. The piece on blend tank stratification and thermal layering matters here because a long, low body with a single top opening is exactly the geometry in which layering goes unnoticed until something downstream runs off spec. And the article on loaf-style portable utility tanks is worth reading if what you really want is a smaller vessel that moves, rather than a 605 lb body you set down once.

Rated liquids and the fittings to order with them

The resin carries a rating for each liquid below at the concentration shown, and each line names the wetted fitting and gasket to specify. Confirm the service you actually run on the chemical page or in the chemical compatibility database before ordering.

• Aluminum Sulfate at 50%, with PVC fittings and EPDM gaskets
• Calcium Chloride at 40%, with PVC fittings and EPDM gaskets
• DEF at 32.5%, with 316SS fittings and EPDM gaskets
• Ferrous Sulfate at 20%, with PVC fittings and EPDM gaskets
• Magnesium Chloride at 30%, with PVC fittings and EPDM gaskets
• Sodium Carbonate at 30%, with PVC fittings and EPDM gaskets
• Urea Solution at 50%, with PP/PVC fittings and EPDM gaskets
• Sulfuric Acid (CPVC fittings, Viton gaskets)
• Sodium Hypochlorite (PVC, Viton)
• Hydrochloric Acid (PVC, Viton)

605 lb empty, and an OVS bill either way

Freight class and ship mode both read OVS on this record, and the empty weight and the shipping weight agree at 605 lb, which tells you that what you are paying for is space rather than tonnage. Get a real number for your ZIP from the freight cost estimator before you commit; the listed price is before freight. Receiving is a weight job here more than a paperwork job: 605 lb of empty shell is light enough that a crew will be tempted to move it by hand and heavy enough that doing so is how legs get caught. Take it off with a machine, set it down on the six legs rather than on an edge, and walk the full 142 inch flank once while the driver is still in the yard. If you only do one thing before signing, put a hand on each leg and rock the tank; a leg that moves against the ground is a delivery conversation and not a Monday morning conversation. Write the part number on the sign-off sheet rather than the description, because this family has two black rows and only the number tells them apart. Put the tank's part number on the maintenance log the day it lands; five years on, nobody remembers which shell it is.
