A bolt down hoop for Norwesco's 225 and 325 gallon tanks, sold one at a time
Part number 60478 is the steel bolt down hoop Norwesco makes for its 225 and 325 gallon horizontal tanks, and this listing is for one hoop. A hoop wraps over the tank and bolts to the deck, skid or trailer on each side, so a full tank cannot walk, rock or lift when the vehicle brakes or the ground moves under it. Each hoop is 42 inches long, 3 inches wide and 39 inches tall as it is shaped, weighs 13 lb, and ships by UPS. The gallon figures in the name are the tanks it fits, not anything the hoop holds.

What to check before you buy
- The tank. Shaped for Norwesco's 225 and 325 gallon horizontal tanks. A hoop curved for another shell will not sit flat, so give us the tank part number if you are not sure.
- The count. One hoop per listing. A horizontal tank wants a hoop near each end so neither end can move; order two for a tank that rides on a vehicle.
- 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. The trailer or truck bed rating, not the hoop, is usually the limit.
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 pipe 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. Look at the hoops and bolts each season and after any hard trip.
