Norwesco 3135 Gallon Horizontal Leg Tank in Black

On a trailer, a flatbed or the ground

At 150 inches long and 88 inches wide it fills a tandem-axle trailer deck; at 80 inches tall, add the deck height and measure the overall height against the bridges, gates and shed doors on your route before you order. Full of water the contents alone weigh 26,146 lb, so the trailer's axles, tires, hitch and brakes decide the real limit, not the tank. Strap it through the moulded leg recesses, never over the manway, and fit the 4 bands Norwesco specifies for this tank, part N-65079, where it rides on a vehicle. On the ground it needs a flat, continuous surface under all the legs. Our guide to Norwesco applicator and leg tanks and the DOT non-roadable trailer rules covers how a tank like this is classified on the road.

What goes in it

Water for hauling, stock, dust control and fire reserve, and liquid fertilizer up to the 1.5 limit. Check anything new in our chemical compatibility guide; the entries leg tank buyers ask about most are urea solution, calcium chloride, DEF, magnesium chloride and sodium carbonate. Liquids heavier than 1.5 times water need a heavy duty tank, and anything hotter than 120 F is outside the rating. If you blend in the tank, read our note on fertilizer blend stratification first. For the volume, use the tank sizing calculator and tank sizing guide.

Openings and fittings

1. Outlet with siphon tube. A 3 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting with a 2 inch reducer, fed by a siphon tube that reaches down inside the tank. The siphon tube lets the outlet sit up on the tank where it is protected, while still drawing from the bottom. Run the full 3 inch to the pump, or thread the reducer in for a 2 inch connection, and support the first length of hose on its own.
2. Manway. A 16 inch threaded vented manway on top for filling from a pump, a float, and cleaning access. Keep the vent clear so the tank breathes as it is pumped down.
3. Drawing. Norwesco's drawing for this tank, linked under Technical Drawing on this page, shows the outlet and manway positions and the leg layout for planning the strap points and the deck.
