The Norwesco 50 Rectangular-B is a doorway-profile polyethylene tank built for tight-access liquid storage where a round 50-gallon tank simply won't fit through a standard opening. At 41 inches long, 26 inches wide, and 15 inches tall, its low rectangular footprint slides through doorways and stairwells that block a vertical tank, then sits flat against a wall to reclaim floor space. It carries a single molded-in 1-inch outlet and a 16-inch lid for fill and inspection access.
Will it work for your application
This is a 50-gallon white polyethylene rectangular tank rated to a 1.5 specific gravity, with a maximum contents temperature of 120 F (48 C). Empty, it weighs just 37 lb, so one person can reposition it. Filled with water it carries about 417 lb, and at its full 1.5 SG rating it can hold up to 626 lb of contents. Size your stand, shelf, or pad to that 626 lb worst case, not the empty weight and not the 417 lb water figure, so the base is never under-designed for a denser fluid the rating permits. If you are unsure the footprint and height suit your space, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide before you order. The molded material is FDA approved. Dimensions here are verified against the master catalog, and you can confirm the outlet and lid positions on the technical drawing shown on this page.
The mistake to avoid
The 1.5 specific gravity rating governs how heavy a liquid this tank can safely hold, not just the volume it fills. Water sits at 1.0, so a full 50 gallons of water is well within spec. If you plan to store anything denser, confirm the fluid's specific gravity stays at or below 1.5 before you commit. This tank comes with one 1-inch outlet and one 16-inch lid, so plan your plumbing around that single 1-inch port from the start. Our fitting and outlet selection decision tree walks through sizing the connection, and the pad-sizing guide covers the base under a loaded rectangular tank.
