Norwesco 25 Gallon Rectangular Flat Bottom Utility Tank Without Fitting in White

The Norwesco 25 Gallon Rectangular Flat Bottom Utility Tank (N-42482) is a loaf-style portable tank built for small-batch water hauling and utility transfer where a compact footprint matters more than volume.Molded in white FDA-approved polyethylene, it carries a 25-gallon rating, an empty weight of 15 lb, and a 5" lid for filling and access.The flat bottom sits stable on a truck bed, trailer deck, or skid without a cradle, and the 16" x 34" footprint fits tight spaces on a farm fleet or work truck.This unit ships without a fitting, so you spec the bulkhead or outlet that matches your plumbing.If you are searching for a 25 gallon Norwesco tank with a rectangular flat bottom, this is the utility size that number points to.

The specs at a glance

FDA-approved for potable contact, service temperature ceiling of 120 F / 48 C, 5" lid, and a 16" x 34" footprint standing 12" high.The wall is molded in polyethylene and rated to a 1.5 specific gravity.Those four facts cover most purchase decisions before you read another line.

Will it work for your job

Dimensions are 34" long x 16" wide x 12" high, so the low profile keeps the load center of gravity down when the tank rides on a moving vehicle.On water at a specific gravity of 1.5, a full 25 gallons weighs about 208 lb, and the tank body plus contents lands near 223 lb gross.The polyethylene is rated to a 1.5 specific gravity, which caps the maximum rated contents at 313 lb, or roughly 328 lb gross once you add the 15 lb shell.When you plan tie-downs and a pad for a moving platform, size them against that loaded gross weight, not the empty 15 lb.Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm the 25-gallon size against your fill cycle before you buy.

The mistake to avoid

The 1.5 specific gravity rating is a ceiling, not a target.Water sits at 1.0 and is well within range, but a denser fluid hits the weight wall before the tank is full: at SG 1.5 you can only put in about 16 to 17 gallons before reaching the 313 lb contents limit, even though the tank looks half empty.Check the actual specific gravity of your liquid first.If your fluid runs heavier than SG 1.5, call us at 866-418-1777 and we will point you to a chemical or industrial-rated tank instead of pushing this loaf past its rating.Then settle the plumbing: this tank ships without a fitting, so you will need a bulkhead fitting and a matching gasket rated to your transfer pressure and sized to the flat sidewall, plus a confirmed 5" lid gasket if you are hauling sealed.Call the same number and we will spec the fitting and gasket set so the tank does not arrive with no way to plumb it.For farm fleet and portable use, our guide to loaf-style portable utility tanks and the 49 CFR 173.5 agricultural exemption covers how DOT classification applies to farm transport.See the technical drawing on this page for the exact port and dimension layout.
