The Norwesco 210 Gallon Black Vertical Storage Tank is a 210-gallon polyethylene vertical tank built for water and general bulk-liquid storage. It stands 67 inches tall on a compact 32 x 32-inch footprint, so it tucks into narrow utility rooms, pump houses, and trailer corners where floor space is tight. At 32 inches wide it clears a standard 36-inch doorway, which makes placement inside existing equipment buildings straightforward. The black resin blocks light to slow algae growth in standing water, a practical edge for outdoor and semi-exposed installations.
Will this Norwesco vertical storage tank work for my job
This vertical tank is rated to a specific gravity of 1.5, meaning the wall is engineered to hold liquids up to 1.5 times the density of water. That is unusually high for a tank you might use for plain water, and it works in your favor: the same tank that stores water today can later hold denser mild solutions or process fluids without buying a heavier-rated vessel. Filled with water at full capacity, the contents weigh about 1,751 pounds; at the full 1.5 rating the contents can reach roughly 2,627 pounds. Size your pad, stand, or floor structure around the heavier figure so the base never becomes the weak point. Because the load travels straight down through the 32 x 32-inch footprint, a level, fully supported concrete pad or equivalent base under the entire bottom is the right approach. To match capacity to your real draw and refill cycle, use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide.
Fittings, layout, and the technical drawing
Fitting and outlet locations for this storage tank are shown on the technical drawing on this page. Review it before you trench plumbing or set the tank, since outlet height and orientation determine how low you can gravity-drain and where your bulkhead and supply runs land. Confirm the outlet thread size on the technical drawing before buying a bulkhead fitting and gasket so the seal seats correctly, or call us at 866-418-1777 and we will verify it with you. If you are designing a fixed pad for this or several tanks, the concrete pad sizing guide for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework so your base carries the full rated load.
Common application uses and cold-climate notes
As a black vertical storage tank, this Norwesco unit fits non-potable water holding, rural fire-protection reserves, rainwater and grey-water capture, and general process and standby storage. For fire-water reserve planning at remote sites, the rural fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and the freeze-protection steps any water tank needs in cold climates. If you are aggregating multiple water sources, the industrial water reuse topology guide and the rainwater harvesting first-flush guide help you stage storage correctly.
This tank ships LTL freight. Norwesco molds from plants spanning the West (Hanford CA, Tooele UT, Washougal WA), the Midwest (Sheldon IA, St. Bonifacius MN), the South (Fairfield TX, Griffin GA, Shawnee OK), the Northeast (Owego NY), and Ohio (Washington Court House), and we route from the plant nearest you to keep freight down. Tell us your ZIP and we quote the actual cost up front with the Freight Cost Estimator or by phone at 866-418-1777 - no surprises at delivery. One mistake to avoid: don't undersize the base. The contents can reach about 2,627 pounds at the full rated specific gravity, so confirm your pad or stand is rated for that load before the first fill.
