This 1,000-gallon underground septic tank is built for residential and light commercial wastewater management where a reliable, code-recognized buried solution is needed. Designed for below-grade installation, it holds up to 1,000 gallons and features a two-compartment layout that supports proper settling and separation in a standard septic workflow. IAPMO certification means the tank has been evaluated against recognized plumbing and sanitation standards, giving installers and inspectors a documented compliance reference.
The tank ships not preplumbed, so plumbing connections are completed on site to match local code requirements. Liquid access includes one inlet, one outlet, and two manway lids, giving installers clear points of entry for connection and future service access.
This tank fits into a standard two-compartment septic system layout where the first chamber receives incoming wastewater and the second provides additional clarification before effluent moves to the drain field. The gasketed PVC tee assemblies on both the inlet and outlet help create secure, leak-resistant connections at each plumbing tie-in point. Two 20'' gasketed manways, one per compartment, allow access for inspection, pumping, and maintenance without requiring excavation beyond the lid locations. At 395 lbs., the tank requires appropriate equipment for placement and backfill. Installers should confirm local setback, depth, and soil-loading requirements before specifying this unit.
Key Features:
- 1,000-Gallon Capacity: Sized for standard residential septic applications, providing sufficient holding volume for typical household wastewater loads.
- Two-Compartment Design: Separates the tank into two chambers to support proper solids settling and effluent clarification before discharge to the drain field.
- IAPMO Certified: Evaluated against recognized plumbing and sanitation standards, supporting code compliance and inspector approval on permitted installations.
- Gasketed PVC Tee Assemblies: Both the 4'' inlet and 4'' outlet use gasketed PVC tee assemblies, providing secure, field-connected plumbing tie-ins that help prevent leaks at connection points.
- Dual 20'' Gasketed Manways: One manway per compartment allows access for pumping, inspection, and service without disturbing the surrounding installation.
- Underground Installation: Engineered for below-grade placement, keeping the system out of sight and protecting tank integrity from surface exposure.
This 1,000-gallon two-compartment underground septic tank is a practical choice for new septic system installations or replacements where a certified, field-plumbed buried tank is required. The gasketed connections and dual manway access points support a straightforward installation and long-term serviceability. Review all local code, soil, and loading requirements with a licensed installer before finalizing placement.
