UL 142 RATED ABOVEGROUND VERTICAL TANKS

UL 142 RATED VERTICAL TANKS

The UL 142 rated vertical tank, manufactured by Eaton Sales & Service, is designed for the aboveground storage of flammable and combustible liquids. These tanks are available in both single-wall and double-wall configurations, providing options for enhanced leak protection and environmental safety.

A vertical tank is best in areas with limited space. They can be lined up side-by-side to make the most of the small footprint available. Since vertical tanks can be manufactured for up to 30,000 nominal gallons, they offer plenty of liquid storage potential.
