NORWESCO

Norwesco is a North American manufacturer of rotationally molded polyethylene tanks and containers, with a product history spanning several decades. The company's tanks are used across agricultural, industrial, and municipal sectors for storing water, chemicals, fertilizers, and other non-potable liquids. Norwesco's product families include horizontal and vertical storage tanks, rectangular utility tanks, cone-bottom and total-drain tanks, transport tanks, and specialty containers. The tanks are produced from linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) or medium-density polyethylene (MDPE), depending on the model, and are molded as one-piece, seamless units. This construction eliminates weld seams and reduces potential leak paths. Many Norwesco tanks are rated for specific gravity up to 1.5 or 1.9, and some models carry NSF/ANSI 61 certification for potable water contact. However, the utility tanks featured here are intended for non-potable liquids. Standard fittings include fill openings ranging from 5 inches to 8 inches, and some models offer additional ports for vents, drains, or level indicators. Norwesco tanks are available in a range of capacities, from small 16-gallon rectangular tanks to large vertical tanks exceeding 10,000 gallons. The rectangular horizontal tanks in 3G Electric's catalog are closed-top designs with capacities from 16 to 100 gallons, suitable for space-constrained installations. These tanks are commonly used for chemical storage, agricultural mixing, and industrial process water. 3G Electric supplies Norwesco tanks globally, providing access to the full line of utility, vertical, and total-drain configurations. As a distributor, 3G Electric supports procurement with technical specifications, dimensional data, and logistics coordination. The tanks are shipped from regional warehouses, and 3G Electric can assist with selecting the appropriate model based on capacity, footprint, and chemical compatibility. For plant engineers and maintenance managers, Norwesco tanks offer a rotationally molded, corrosion-resistant alternative to metal or fiberglass tanks. The polyethylene construction resists rust, denting, and many common chemicals, though compatibility should be verified for specific media. Norwesco tanks are not pressure vessels and should be vented to atmosphere. They are designed for stationary or transport use, depending on the model. 3G Electric's catalog includes Norwesco utility tanks with closed tops, which prevent debris ingress and reduce evaporation. These tanks are available with fill openings of 5 or 8 inches, and some models include a 3/4-inch drain fitting. The rectangular horizontal tanks are stackable in some cases, but stacking should follow manufacturer guidelines. For applications requiring total drainage, Norwesco offers cone-bottom and total-drain tanks, which allow complete evacuation of contents. Vertical tanks are available in flat-bottom, cone-bottom, and leg-tank configurations. 3G Electric can source these variants on request. Norwesco tanks are manufactured in the United States and are available through 3G Electric's global distribution network. The tanks are typically shipped by truck or container, and 3G Electric provides logistics support for international orders. For technical buyers, Norwesco publishes detailed specification sheets, including dimensions, weight, fitting sizes, and resin data. 3G Electric can provide these documents upon request. Norwesco tanks are not intended for underground burial unless specifically designed for that purpose. They should be installed on a level, supported surface. The polyethylene material is UV-stabilized for outdoor use, but prolonged direct sunlight may affect the tank over time. Norwesco recommends inspecting tanks periodically for cracks or stress marks. 3G Electric stocks a range of Norwesco utility tanks and can quote other models from the Norwesco catalog. The product line includes rectangular, vertical, and total-drain tanks, with capacities from 16 gallons to over 10,000 gallons. For specific chemical resistance data, consult Norwesco's chemical compatibility chart. 3G Electric's team can assist with model selection and provide current lead times.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about NORWESCO from 3G Electric.

What are the typical applications for Norwesco rectangular horizontal liquid storage tanks?

Norwesco rectangular horizontal tanks are used for storing non-potable liquids such as water, chemicals, fertilizers, and agricultural solutions. Their low-profile, rectangular shape allows installation in tight spaces, including truck beds, trailers, and indoor process areas. Common applications include chemical mixing, batch processing, and mobile storage. The closed-top design reduces spillage and contamination. These tanks are not intended for potable water unless specifically certified. For potable water, Norwesco offers NSF/ANSI 61 certified models. Always verify chemical compatibility with Norwesco's resin guide before use.

What is the maximum specific gravity that Norwesco utility tanks can handle?

Norwesco utility tanks are typically rated for liquids with a specific gravity up to 1.5 or 1.9, depending on the model and wall thickness. The specific gravity rating indicates the maximum density of the liquid relative to water. For example, a tank rated for 1.5 specific gravity can hold liquids up to 1.5 times the density of water. Exceeding this rating may cause deformation or failure. Always check the individual product specification for the exact rating. For heavier liquids, consult Norwesco or 3G Electric for alternative tank designs.

Are Norwesco tanks suitable for outdoor installation?

Yes, Norwesco polyethylene tanks are UV-stabilized for outdoor use. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can degrade the plastic over many years. For extended outdoor service, consider shading the tank or applying a UV-resistant coating. The tanks should be installed on a level, solid surface that supports the full footprint. Do not install underground unless the tank is specifically designed for burial. Freezing temperatures can make some liquids expand and damage the tank; drain tanks before winter if they contain water. Inspect annually for cracks or discoloration.

What fill opening sizes are available on Norwesco rectangular horizontal tanks?

Norwesco rectangular horizontal tanks in 3G Electric's catalog feature fill openings of either 5 inches or 8 inches in diameter. The fill opening size determines the maximum fill rate and the type of lid or fitting that can be used. A larger opening allows faster filling and easier access for cleaning or inspection. Some models include additional ports for vents or drains. The fill opening is typically located on the top surface of the tank. Ensure that the opening is properly sealed to prevent spills or contamination. Replacement lids and fittings are available.

Can Norwesco tanks be used for potable water storage?

Some Norwesco tanks are certified to NSF/ANSI 61 for potable water contact, but the utility tanks listed in 3G Electric's catalog are intended for non-potable liquids. Using a non-certified tank for potable water may introduce contaminants from the resin or mold release agents. If potable water storage is required, specify an NSF-61 certified Norwesco tank. These are typically made from food-grade resin and are labeled accordingly. Always verify the certification before use. 3G Electric can source certified models on request.

What is the lead time for ordering Norwesco tanks from 3G Electric?

Lead times for Norwesco tanks vary by model and destination. Stocked items may ship within a few days, while non-stock or large-capacity tanks may require several weeks for production and freight. 3G Electric provides current lead time estimates at the time of quotation. International orders may require additional time for customs clearance and ocean freight. For urgent requirements, 3G Electric can check availability across regional warehouses. Contact 3G Electric with the specific Norwesco model number and quantity for an accurate lead time.
