Sump Basins

• The following model numbers are the sizes that are typical for Midwest Tank Co. Other sizes are available upon request. All sump basins are coated inside and out with a protective coating. The standard sump basins are made of 3/16-inch steel. You may request thicker steel to meet special job requirements. Basins with a diameter of 36 inches and larger with have a 1/4-inch cover.

• The letters SSBC in the model numbers indicate that the madel is a steel sump basin with cover. To order a basin without a cover, delete the C in the model number (example: SSB). The first two numbers in the model number indicate diameter in inches. The last two numbers in the model number indicate depth.

• Example: SSBC3672 = steel sump basin with cover, 36″ diameter x 72″ deep.

 Construction and Materials

Sump basins are fabricated from 3/16-inch steel and coated inside and out with a protective finish suitable for long-term service in demanding environments. Basins with diameters of 36 inches and larger include a 1/4-inch cover to support durability and handling requirements. Thicker steel can be specified when project conditions call for additional material strength. Model numbers identify diameter and depth, allowing straightforward selection based on installation needs.
