Norwesco 2650 Gallon Elliptical Leg Tank in White with Baffles

A hundred and twenty-two inches of floor, level end to end

Start with the floor this tank lies on, because at 122 by 88 inches carrying a maximum contents figure of 41992 lb, the structure is the expensive part of the installation and the tank is the easy part. Two rules cover most of it. First, the support follows the moulded underside continuously across the whole plan: no cross-member with a gap either side of it, no pair of bearers at the ends, no shim under one corner. A rotationally moulded shell does not bridge, and where it is asked to, it tells you in the wall rather than in your steel. Second, level means level in both directions and it means level after the tank has stood full for a day, not before. Ground that settles under 22101 lb of water was never level, and on an 82 inch body a small settlement shows up as a lean that then loads one side of the floor for the rest of its life. The name of this record is an elliptical leg tank with baffles, and the name is exactly as far as the internals are described here: the sheet carries no baffle count, no spacing and no compartment volumes, so this page tells you the name says baffles and leaves it there. The same discipline applies to everything holding the tank down. No leg count, no hoop, no band, no strap rating, no cradle detail and no vehicle fit is published, so the frame and the restraint belong to your engineer, sized against the 1054 lb empty weight and the 41992 lb maximum contents rather than against anything on this page. The install specific worth planning early is access to the top. The lid sits 82 inches up on a shell 88 inches wide, so there is no reaching over from the side: a platform or a proper ladder position has to exist from day one, or the lid will be opened badly and eventually not at all. Before fixing on 2650 gallons, run the draw and the refill interval through the tank sizing calculator and take the freeboard discipline from the tank sizing guide. The honest limitation: the service ceiling is 120 F / 48 C, and this record's warranty field reads 3 Year Warranty where the black N-45366 in the same shell reads a longer term. Both are printed as the sheets carry them and neither is explained.

Two baffled tanks, two plain ones, and a bigger body

The top four rows are one set of dimensions, 2650 gallons in 122 by 88 by 82 inches, offered at two weights. This record and the black N-45366 are 1054 lb and are the two the sheet names with baffles; the 45362 and the 45364 are 700 lb and carry no baffle word in their names. Between this record and the black one, every published figure is the same except the colour field and the warranty field, and rather than guess at why, this page prints both and tells you to compare the two product records side by side before you choose. Against the 700 lb pair the difference is the name, and the name is the only thing the sheet explains. Beyond the four, the two remaining rows answer different questions. The N-40283 is the low-clearance answer: 2635 gallons laid out at 140 by 90 by 72 inches for 955 lb, ten inches lower than this shell at the cost of eighteen inches more length. The N-40686 is the volume answer and the surprise of the table: 3135 gallons on the same 88 inch width, 150 inches long, and 80 inches tall at 957 lb, which is fractionally lower than this tank despite carrying several hundred more gallons. If your limit is overhead, that row deserves a look before you assume you have to give up capacity. Read the height column first, the width second, the length third, and the gallons last. For how this family sits in the wider fertilizer range, the applicator and leg tank scope article is the reference.

What the fittings line names, in order

• Outlet first, because it sets everything downstream: a 3 inch PP female NPT bulkhead fitting. Build the discharge line at 3 inches and keep it there as far as you can; on 2650 gallons the difference between a 3 inch and a 2 inch run is the difference between waiting on the tank and waiting on nothing.
• Reducer second: the record names a 2 inch reducer with the fitting. That is an option for matching a 2 inch pump, camlock or hose, not the default configuration, and using it is a decision about the receiving end rather than about the tank.
• Siphon tube third, and it is the quiet one. It takes the draw from the low point inside the shell rather than from the bulkhead wall, which is how a tall body gets emptied properly. It is also unserviceable from outside, so never push a rigid rod up the outlet during cleaning.
• Plumb it the same way as any tank worth keeping: full-bore valve tight to the bulkhead, union below the valve, and every subsequent change made below the union so no wrench load ever reaches the moulded boss. Carry the weight of all of it on the frame.
• Access is a 22 inch hinged lockable manway with the lid size field agreeing at 22 inches. The hinge keeps the lid attached in a working yard and the lock keeps an unattended tank closed; both are ordinary practical advantages and both are on the record rather than inferred.
• There is no inlet field, so the fill goes in through that top opening 82 inches up. A fixed fill line and a safe standing position are the two things to sort out before the first delivery.
• The manway is the vent path as well as the access, so keep it clear and treat a fast draw through 3 inches with respect: air has to get in as fast as liquid goes out.

The record's published limits are short: the service ceiling is 120 F / 48 C, the warranty field reads 3 Year Warranty with the written terms to come from Norwesco, and the density statement is the 1.9 field quoted as a maximum of 15.87 lb per gallon, with a maximum contents figure of 41992 lb against 22101 lb for the same volume of water.

Blends that stand between passes

The work this record is built for is heavy liquid held in bulk and drawn down hard: blended fertilizer and solution storage at a mixing site, a staging volume between an incoming bulk load and the machines that feed off it, batch holding where the 3 inch outlet keeps the cycle moving, and standing stock at a field edge where a lockable lid matters because nobody is watching the tank overnight. The 1.9 density field is the reason to look here rather than at the 700 lb records in the same shell, and the 41992 lb maximum contents figure is the number to check your own product against before you order anything. Where the blend stands between passes, read the blend stratification and mixing protocol article: the field verification it describes is what catches a separated tank before the spreader does, and it matters more, not less, on a tank whose internals you cannot see. Check the liquid against polyethylene in our chemical compatibility reference before the first fill. For fleets running a mix of sizes, where this tank is the big one and the portable tanks are the small ones, the portable utility tank scope article covers the smaller end of the same fleet question. What this shell is not: a tank for a hot stream, and not the cheapest route to 2650 gallons.

Minnesota and Ohio, and eighty-two inches at the dock

Three plants are named, St. Bonifacius, Minnesota; Lancaster, Ohio; and Fairfield, Texas, against two ship-from states, Minnesota and Ohio. The Texas plant carries no matching ship-from entry on this record and both lists are printed as the sheet gives them. The freight class field and the ship mode field both read LTL, the NMFC field is 156600, and the ship weight is 1054 lb against the same 1054 lb empty, crated at 122 by 88 by 82 inches. At the dock the height is what catches people: 82 inches on the trailer bed means the top of this tank is well above the height of a standard box van door, so an open deck and a machine with reach is the arrangement to plan for rather than a forklift and a dock plate. Slings around the body under a spreader, no chain through the manway, nothing taking load on the outlet assembly. The freight cost estimator prices the lane to your ZIP, and the listed price is before freight. Before signing, open the hinged lid, put a light in, and then walk the underside along both 122 inch sides looking for scuffs that indicate the shell was dragged rather than lifted. Fill it with clean water in its final position, leave it a full day, and check the frame and the ground before the first product goes in. On a white shell the reward for that discipline is easy to collect: a weep at the outlet shows against a pale wall long before it shows on the floor. The vent screen is the cheapest part on the tank and the one that saves it; look at it every time the manway opens.
