Norwesco's largest heavy duty leg tank: 6025 gallons in black
The Norwesco 6025 gallon black heavy duty horizontal leg tank, part number 44316B, is a polyethylene bulk storage tank 193 inches long, 99 inches wide and 103 inches tall, weighing 1,900 lb empty. It is rated for liquids up to 1.9 specific gravity, a maximum of 15.87 lb per gallon, which is what separates it from a standard leg tank of the same size and makes it the choice for dense liquid fertilizer and chemical solutions. It comes with a 3 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting at the outlet with a 2 inch reducer and a siphon tube, and a 22 inch hinged lid on top. The resin is FDA compliant per Norwesco, and Norwesco holds an NSF/ANSI 61 company listing that names no model, so call us before you count on it for drinking water. The service limit is 120 F and the warranty is 5 years. 6025 gallons of water weighs about 50,250 lb, so the pad under this tank matters as much as the tank.

Where it goes
This is a fixed bulk tank. At 193 inches long and 103 inches tall it needs a flat, continuous pad with room for the supply truck to pull alongside, and it fills from a transport and empties through the bottom outlet to a pump or a loading manifold. Every leg has to bear on the pad; a tank this heavy left bridging a low spot works the wall at the leg roots. Norwesco calls for 5 support bands, band part N-64085, wherever the tank rides on a skid or a vehicle, and they are listed in the add-ons box on this page. If the tank is going on a trailer frame, the Norwesco applicator and leg tank DOT guide and the farm fleet DOT classification guide explain how the load is classified on the road.
What goes in it
Liquid fertilizer is the usual load, and blends weigh well over water, which is why the 1.9 rating earns its keep. If you blend in the tank, our note on fertilizer blend stratification and how to catch it before the spreader runs off spec is worth reading before the first batch; a tank this deep layers more than a small one. For chemicals, check the liquid in our chemical compatibility guide; urea solution, calcium chloride, phosphoric acid, potassium carbonate and sodium hypochlorite are the common ones at this size. Keep the contents at or below 120 F. The tank sizing calculator and tank sizing guide settle the volume question.
Openings and fittings
- Outlet. A 3 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting with a 2 inch reducer and a siphon tube. Use the reducer for 2 inch plumbing or remove it for a full 3 inch line to a pump. A siphon outlet needs the pump primed or the line flooded before it will draw.
- Lid. A 22 inch hinged lid on top, wide enough for a fill hose, a float and an arm with a brush. The top of this tank is 103 inches up, so plan a step or a platform for filling and inspection; nobody should be climbing the tank.
- Drawing. Norwesco's drawing for this tank, linked under Technical Drawing on this page, shows the outlet and lid positions and the leg layout for pad and band planning.

Shipping and receiving
The tank ships LTL at freight class 300 from Norwesco's St. Bonifacius, Minnesota or Lancaster, Ohio plant, 193 by 99 by 103 inches and 1,900 lb. It takes a flatbed and a loader or a forklift with long forks at your end. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP. At the tailgate, check the part number against 44316B, walk round every leg for transit damage, confirm the reducer is in the outlet, and fill with water the first time so any problem shows up with something harmless in the tank.
