Behlen Country 103 gal. 224 Galvanized Round End Stock Tank

A: The drain plug is located on the back side or "seamside" of the tank. This model features a 1-inch diameter drain plug, and the bulkhead fitting is compatible with a 3/4" NPT pipe thread spigot if you choose to install one.

A: Hello, thank you for your question. Yes, it can be used for a cold plunge. However, it would be important to note that it may be too small for some adults depending on their height and build. Dimensions: 2 ft. W x 4 ft. L x 2 ft. H

A: Hi, While a Behlen Country galvanized stock tank can be used for planting, it's not specifically designed for that purpose, and some precautions are necessary. The primary concern is the potential for leaching from the galvanized coating, which could be harmful to plants.

A: Hi, If the substance is white rust, here are a few things to know. White rust is a white, chalky substance that forms on zinc and zinc-coated materials when they are exposed to moisture and oxygen. It's also known as zinc hydroxide. How it forms White rust forms when zinc is exposed to hydrogen and oxygen It can form on new equipment when it's first put into use It can also form on older zinc if it's exposed to high pH water or if the surface has been scraped How to prevent it Maintain the pH of circulating water below 8.3 for new galvanized cooling towers Increase airflow around zinc-coated metal Increase metal temperature to keep moisture away Lower the humidity of the room where zinc-coated metal is stored Avoid bringing cold zinc into a warmer place How to treat it Brush small areas of white rust with a stiff-bristled brush Clean the area and treat with an inorganic zinc-rich paint White rust can permanently stain zinc surfaces and negatively affect the appearance of galvanized products.

A: Hello! The drain plug will be located on the back side or "seamside" of the tank. Should you have any further questions, please reach out to [email protected].

A: Any galvanized product can contain a trace amount of lead. In the case of the galvanized steel coils that we purchase, based on past testing, a single tank could have a lead content of roughly 0.00000007 grams, which is 0.0000000004% of the total metal content of the tank. For comparison, the 2020 EPA regulation tied to the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act defines “lead free” for pipes as a weighted average of 0.25% lead calculated across the wetted surfaces of a pipe, pipe fitting, plumbing fitting, and fixture and 0.2% lead for solder and flux. So the answer is yes our galvanized tanks could contain lead, but in an infinitesimally small quantity that would not impact health.

A: The seams are sealed with a 2 composite epoxy sealant.

A: Unfortunately Behlen Country does not manufacture a lid for this stock tank. However, consumers have used outdoor lawn furniture covers with flexible drawstrings as lids or covers for stock tanks of this size.

A: You are able to screw in a spigot into the bulkhead fitting on our Galvanized stock tank. The thread type is ¾” NPT pipe thread.

A: Hello, Behlen Country does not manufacture a tank this deep. The tallest galvanized tank Behlen Country manufactures is 2' tall.
