Norwesco's steel stand for the 300 and 500 gallon cone bottom tanks
Part number 63933 is Norwesco's painted steel stand for its 300 gallon and 500 gallon cone bottom tanks. A cone bottom tank has no flat base, so it needs a stand that cradles the cone and lifts the outlet high enough to get a valve, a hose or a drum underneath. This one is a black welded steel frame 38 inches square at the floor and 34 inches tall, weighing 95 lb. The stand and the tank are a matched pair: the cone angle and the size of the tank decide the stand, so this one belongs under the 300 or 500 gallon tank it is named for and not under a tank that merely looks similar.

What to check before you buy
- The tank. Norwesco pairs each cone bottom tank with its own stand. Our cone bottom tank stand compatibility matrix lists which stand goes under which tank; if you are still choosing the tank, the Norwesco cone bottom tank buyer's guide explains how the cone angle changes the drain and the stand.
- The floor. The stand needs a flat, level, continuous 38 inch square with no drain, joint or slope under it. A stand on a floor that falls toward a drain rests on three feet instead of four.
- The height. The frame is 34 inches tall, which sets the room under the cone outlet for a valve, a pump inlet or a drum. Measure that equipment before the order, not after. Our guide to fitting placement on polyethylene bulk storage tanks covers the rest of the plumbing layout.
- Steel or polyethylene. Our steel frame versus polyethylene stand decision tree explains when each is the better choice.
- Anchoring. No anchor hardware comes with the stand. If your site needs it bolted down, that hardware is yours to plan.

Setting it up
Put the stand in its final position and check it with a level across both diagonals. Set the empty tank in it and turn it so the outlet points where the pipe will run. Fit the outlet valve before the first fill, and fill with water the first time. The tank's own documentation and your installer, not this page, decide what your floor has to carry.
Shipping
The stand ships LTL, NMFC 178690, 38 by 38 by 34 inches and 95 lb, from Norwesco's Sheldon, Iowa plant. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP. When it arrives, check the four feet before the driver leaves: a corner that took a knock in transit shows as a foot that no longer sits flat with the other three.
