12 Litre Water Tank
Product Overview
The 12 Litre Water Tank is a compact and versatile solution for the storage and transportation of water and other compatible liquids.
Manufactured from durable medium-density polyethylene, this small rectangular tank provides a practical 12 litre capacity, making it ideal for applications where a compact water storage solution is required.
With dimensions of approximately 150 × 420 × 200 mm and an empty weight of approximately 1 kg, the tank is easy to handle, position and transport. Its compact footprint makes it particularly suitable for applications where available space is limited.
The tank is available in a natural translucent finish, as well as a selection of coloured options. The natural version is semi-translucent, allowing the water level to be viewed through the tank.
Optional 3/4" BSP female outlets can be configured in different positions, allowing the tank to be adapted to suit a range of installations and applications.

Compact & Lightweight Design
With dimensions of approximately 150 × 420 × 200 mm, the 12 Litre Water Tank is designed for applications where space and weight are important considerations.
Its narrow rectangular profile allows the tank to be incorporated into compact installations, equipment and specialist water systems where a larger tank would be impractical.
At approximately 1 kg when empty, the tank is easy to lift and position by hand, making installation and transportation straightforward.
The compact size also makes the tank useful as a dedicated water reservoir for equipment where only a relatively small volume of water is required.
Water Level Visibility
The natural version of the tank is manufactured from semi-translucent polyethylene, allowing the level of water inside the tank to be seen through the tank wall.
This provides a convenient way to monitor the remaining contents without needing to remove the lid.
Water level visibility can be particularly useful where the tank is incorporated into equipment or installations that require regular monitoring and refilling.
Coloured versions are also available where a particular colour or appearance is preferred.

- Small-scale water storage
- Portable water supply
- Equipment water reservoirs
- Specialist water systems
- Commercial equipment
- Catering and food-service equipment
- Mobile equipment
- Cleaning equipment
- Agricultural and horticultural applications
- Vehicle-based systems
- General-purpose liquid storage
- Potable water applications where the appropriate tank configuration is selected
The tank should only be used with liquids that are compatible with the MDPE / polyethylene construction and selected fittings.

Overseas orders
International orders are welcome. Payment is by IBAN / SWIFT / BIC, MoneyGram and letters of credit. We regret that credit cards are not accepted for international orders.
A purchase order is required; we will then create a pro-forma invoice, and tanks are ordered on clearance of funds.
If you require additional export documentation — for example a Certificate of Origin, or commercial invoices certified by the Chamber of Commerce — you must notify us before completion of your order, as we will have to invoice cost and admin charges to the order.
