We hold a large inventory of bare tanks from 210 gallon up to 1000 gallons. You can add a steel jacket or our R-16 topcoat insulation with a 4-5 day turnaround.

  • Vertical jacketed tanks are limited to 144” overall height
  • Jacket diameters are limited to 60”
  • Spray-on topcoat insulation can be applied to any size tank. A single coat of topcoat has an R-16 value and a second coat can be applied for a total R-32 value.

Note: Spray-on topcoat is applied at 2.25” thickness, however, since it is hand applied, thickness variations can occur especially on the tank heads and around nozzles and flanges.

Be aware of nominal vs. actual gallons

The Niles Steel Tank model numbers indicate the actual physical size of only the tank itself, but we offer our gallons in both actual (usable) and nominal (includes the area outside of the tank). We do this because there is often some confusion when comparing other manufacturers sizes with ours.

To us, usable gallons are what the tank will actually hold and do not include areas outside of the tank.

To the right is a diagram which will better explain actual vs. nominal gallons.

** Higher psi ratings on glass lined water storage tanks are available but manufactured under ASME code Section VIII –  “U” stamped.
