The 260PE solves a specific floor-space problem: it holds 260 gallons in a cylinder just 36.75 inches across by going up instead of out - 59.75 inches of height, the tallest proportions in this stretch of Ronco's open-top family. When the process needs big volume but the floor plan is already spoken for, the tall column is the shape that says yes.
Height pays a second dividend in dip and soak work: liquid depth. Long parts, coils, and racks that would lie sideways in a wide shallow tank hang vertically in this one, fully submerged. The molded polyethylene body weighs 90 pounds empty and carries the chemical resistance the open-top line is known for - Ronco has molded these process cylinders in Tustin, California since 1974.
Mind the working height: the rim of a tank this tall sits at chest level for most people, so plan how filling, loading, and skimming will actually happen - and let plumbing do the emptying. Ronco installs fittings per order, spin-welded or threaded at your marks, so a bottom drain or pump outlet is specified up front rather than improvised later. Print the technical drawing below, mark the ports, and confirm the layout in the fitting planner on this page. A matching cover closes the top between uses.
