Norwesco 25 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank without Fittings

The Norwesco 25 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a compact white polyethylene vertical tank built for water and general liquid storage where space is tight and footprint matters.Its bounding box is a clean 18" W x 18" L x 29" H, so it slots into utility rooms, equipment skids, trailers, and tight corners of a barn or shop where a larger Norwesco vertical tank simply won't fit.This unit ships without fittings, which gives you control over where and how you plumb your inlet and outlet rather than working around a pre-set bulkhead.

Will it work for your job?

Fill this vertical storage tank with 25 gallons of water and it carries about 208 pounds of liquid on its 18.0 x 18.0 inch footprint, a load any solid, level surface will take without special engineering.Because the tank itself is light, you can position it empty by hand and let it gain weight in place, which matters when you're planning support on a mezzanine, trailer, or shelf.If you fill it with something denser than water, the tank is rated to a 1.5 specific gravity, which puts the maximum rated contents weight at 313 pounds.That 1.5 rating is worth noting: many compact verticals are rated only 1.0 to 1.5 SG, so this unit carries genuine structural headroom for denser water-based contents.Plan your support for 208 pounds in water service, with 313 pounds as the structural ceiling at 1.5 SG.The white polyethylene body also lets you eyeball the liquid level through the wall in good light, useful when there's no sight gauge plumbed in.If you're not sure 25 gallons is the right volume for your draw rate or refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.

Reading the specs and planning your fittings

Since this tank arrives without fittings, the technical drawing on this page is your reference for wall geometry and where a bulkhead or flange can land.Match any aftermarket fitting and gasket to your liquid and to the polyethylene wall, and torque to the fitting maker's spec so you don't dimple the wall around the penetration.Set the tank on a flat, fully supported pad; an 18-inch base concentrates the load, and a level surface keeps the wall from carrying uneven stress as it fills.For above-ground installs on a poured pad, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework.A 25 gallon tank like this also fits naturally into grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate aggregation setups; our write-up on industrial water reuse tank topology covers how small storage units stage into a reuse train.In cold climates, the field guidance in our fire-water reservoir design write-up covers freeze-protection thinking that applies to any stored-water tank.

The mistake to avoid

The most common error on a no-fittings tank like this 25 gallon Norwesco vertical is over-tightening or under-sizing the fitting you add yourself.Polyethylene is not metal pipe; a fitting torqued like a steel union will deform the wall and start a slow weep.Pick a bulkhead and gasket rated for your liquid, and follow the fitting manufacturer's torque value.The second mistake is loading past 1.5 SG.If your contents are heavier than that, this tank is the wrong size class and you should step up to a higher-rated vertical.
