A bolt down hoop for Norwesco's 35 gallon tank, two per tank if you want it tied down
Part number 60520 is the steel bolt down hoop Norwesco makes for its 35 gallon tank. The tank takes two, and Norwesco lists them as optional: a 35 gallon tank sitting on a shop floor does not need them, while the same tank on a truck bed, a trailer or a mower frame does. A hoop wraps over the tank and bolts to the deck on each side, so a full tank cannot slide, rock or lift when the vehicle brakes or turns. Each hoop is 36 inches long, 2 inches wide and 20 inches tall as it is shaped, weighs 5 lb, and ships by UPS. The 35 gallons in the name is the tank it fits, not anything the hoop holds.

What to check before you buy
- The tank. Shaped for Norwesco's 35 gallon tank. A hoop curved for another size will not sit flat on the shell, so give us the tank part number if you are not sure.
- Do you need them. On a floor or a pad, no. On anything that moves, yes, and two of them: one hoop holds the middle and lets both ends move.
- Hardware. The hoop is the steel strap. Bolts, washers and any pad between hoop and tank are yours to supply to suit your deck, unless we tell you otherwise when you order.
- The deck. The hoop holds the tank to the deck; it does not make the deck strong enough.
Norwesco's drawing for the hoop is linked on this page under Technical Drawing. It shows the shape and the bolt foot spacing for laying out your holes.
Fitting it
Set the empty tank in its final position and turn it so the outlet points where the hose will run. Lay each hoop over the tank where the drawing shows, mark the bolt holes through the feet, then take the hoop off to drill. Bolt the hoops down snug with the tank empty and check them again after the first fill, because a polyethylene tank settles a little under its first load. Do not crank a hoop tight enough to dent the shell.
Shipping
Each hoop is a 5 lb piece packed 36 by 2 by 20 inches and travels by UPS from the nearest of Norwesco's plants; ordered with the tank, the hoops ship with the tank. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the cost to your ZIP.
