American Granby 204701 275 Gal Horizontal Fuel Oil Tank

Product Description

The AMERICAN GRANBY 204701 is a 275-gallon horizontal fuel oil storage tank built for residential heating oil systems. Constructed from ASTM A-1011 steel at 12-gauge thickness, it provides durable, long-term containment of No. 2 fuel oil in above-ground indoor or outdoor installations. The tank measures 60 inches in length, 44 inches in width, and 27 inches in height. Four 2-inch NPT openings on top and one 2-inch NPT opening on the bottom allow flexible connection of supply, return, vent, and fill lines. A black electrostatic powder paint finish protects against corrosion. Licensed oil burner technicians and plumbers are the primary installers of this unit.

This tank is designed for residential above-ground fuel oil storage, typically installed in basements, utility rooms, or on outdoor tank pads. It serves as a primary oil supply vessel for forced-air furnaces, boilers, and other oil-fired heating equipment. The horizontal profile suits installations where ceiling height is limited or floor footprint is preferred over vertical tank placement. All openings are factory-threaded NPT for direct connection to standard oil system fittings and components.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed oil burner technician or plumber in accordance with NFPA 31 and all applicable local codes. Shut off all fuel supply and burner power before connecting or disconnecting any tank lines. Ensure the tank is set on a structurally adequate, level support pad or stand rated for the filled weight of the tank. Verify all NPT fittings are properly sealed with oil-compatible thread sealant before placing the system in service.
