Norwesco 2500 Gallon Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

Seven feet eleven of circle on the floor

The site work on 40052B is governed by a plan dimension of 95 inches and a height of 91, which is very nearly a cube of a tank and a shape that hides how much it weighs when full. Twenty thousand eight hundred and fifty pounds of water is spread over that circle, and the whole circle has to carry it. Build or verify a bearing surface that touches the base everywhere, and keep the pad edge out past the shell so the perimeter is not sitting on the crumbling lip of a slab; the framework is in our concrete pad sizing guide for above ground polyethylene tanks. Clearance is generous by the standards of this family, because at 91 inches a person of normal height stands beside the crown rather than under it, and the 16 inch lid is reachable from a two-step platform instead of a ladder tied off to something. That makes it a practical tank for routine sampling and cleaning, which is a real operating advantage over a tall column of the same volume. Restraint is not addressed on this record at all, so any strapping or anchor is designed by you for your own wind and site conditions. If the duty volume is still open, run it through the tank sizing calculator and read the tank sizing guide before the pad is set, because the pad is the expensive thing to redo.

Where 40052B goes to work

Twenty-five hundred gallons on a squat plan is the workhorse size for yard storage, wash water, process supply and held reserve, and the 3 inch bulkhead with a 2 inch reducer means the draw can be plumbed for a pump or for gravity without a new penetration. When it is bought as standing reserve at a site the mains do not serve, the volume should come from a demand calculation rather than a round number, and our fire water reservoir tank design guide sets out that discipline along with the freeze engineering a standing tank needs in a cold climate. When it is a stage in a reuse system, gathering grey water, rainwater or condensate into a quality band before treatment, our industrial water reuse tank topology guide places it in the train. The check that comes before all of it is the pair of cells the sheet prints for contents: a 1.9 specific gravity line and 39615 lb of maximum contents.

Three inch bulkhead, a reducer, and a 16 inch lid

• A 3 inch PP female NPT bulkhead fitting with a 2 inch reducer, which is the only port described on the record and gives two pipe sizes from one penetration.
• A 16 inch threaded vented manway as the only opening on top, carrying fill, inspection and venting duty together.
• A maximum operating temperature of 120 F / 48 C.
• A specific gravity line of 1.9 with 39615 lb printed as the maximum contents weight.
• There is no second port named anywhere on this record, and no structural attachment is published.

The install detail that saves trouble later is the reducer. Decide at the pad whether the system is 3 inch or 2 inch and set the valve and union accordingly, because changing your mind after the tank is full means draining it; the reducer gives you the choice once, not continuously. Support the first run of pipe on its own legs within a foot of the wall so that the bulkhead carries liquid and not steel. The honest limitation is the same one this whole family carries: a single low draw and a single top opening, so any level instrumentation, return line or recirculation loop is added by you rather than supplied here.

40052B against 40052, 42382B and 42384B

Worth flagging honestly: the catalogue carries 40052 with the same capacity, the same 95 by 95 by 91 shell and the same 424 lb weight cell as 40052B under a different part number. We print both rows as the sheet has them and we do not guess at what separates them; if the difference matters to your order, the part number is the thing to specify and our team will confirm availability against it. The 102 inch rows are a different proposition, trading eleven inches of height for seven inches of plan on each side, which is the trade you make when the ceiling is the constraint. Three rows in the table share the 95 inch plan at three different heights, so if your pad is already 95 inches this is the column to read down.

Ten states in the ship-from cell

The plants printed on 40052B are St. Bonifacius in Minnesota, Lancaster in Ohio, Griffin in Georgia, Shawnee in Oklahoma, Tooele in Utah and Owego in New York, and the ship-from cell runs to ten states: California, Georgia, Iowa, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and Washington. On a tank that prices on cube rather than on its 424 lb, that breadth is the single biggest lever on what you pay to get it. Ship mode reads LTL and the freight class cell reads 400. The listed price is before freight; run your ZIP through the freight cost estimator for the lane before you budget. At the dock, count the ports on the shell against the one port this sheet prints while the tank is still on the trailer, because an unexpected boss or a missing fitting is a paperwork problem for ten minutes and a plumbing problem for a week. Take a photograph of the tank on the deck with the bill of lading visible, and keep it. 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.
