Manchester Tank Co

<h3>About Manchester Tank Co</h3><p>Founded in 1946 and headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee, Manchester Tank &amp; Equipment Co. has built a reputation as one of North America's foremost manufacturers of pressure vessels and containment solutions. As an affiliate of McWane, Inc., the company brings decades of engineering expertise to bear on one of the most safety-critical product categories in the industry: the storage and transport of pressurized gases and chemicals.</p><p><a href="/56144-liquid-propane-gas-lpg-fuel-tank-manchester-tank-co-7445">Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) fuel tanks and cylinders</a> are the backbone of Manchester Tank's product line. The company produces both DOT-approved steel and aluminum cylinders — ranging from 5 to 420 pounds — and ASME-approved steel tanks spanning from 1 to 30,000 gallons. Whether you need a portable cylinder for a backyard grill, an RV propane container for life on the road, or a large-capacity horizontal tank for commercial or agricultural heating, Manchester Tank has engineered a solution to meet it. Their cylinders are shot-blasted before painting and finished with a durable dry powder coat for maximum corrosion resistance, and all DOT cylinders are equipped with an Overfill Prevention Device (OPD) for added safety.</p><p>Manchester Tank's reach extends well beyond propane. The company serves a remarkably broad range of markets, including compressed air, chemical storage, refrigerant containment, fire suppression, forklifts, and oil &amp; gas. This versatility reflects a core engineering philosophy: build pressure vessels that perform reliably under demanding conditions, across every industry that depends on them.</p><p>Accurate monitoring is essential to safe pressure vessel operation, which is why Manchester Tank also offers <a href="/18684-dial-indicator-gauge-manchester-tank-co-7445">dial indicator gauges</a> and a broader selection of <a href="/200484-gauges-sending-units-manchester-tank-co-7445">gauges and sending units</a> to complement their tanks and cylinders. The company has even introduced Rotarex Electronic Capacitance Gauges as standard equipment on select tank lines, delivering continuous, accurate propane level readings with no moving parts — a meaningful upgrade over traditional float-style gauges.</p><p>Rounding out a complete LPG system, Manchester Tank supplies <a href="/7445-manchester-tank-co-pipe-fitting-17358">pipe fittings</a> and related hardware to connect cylinders, valves, and regulators. Distributors across North America stock Manchester's adapters, connectors, and fittings as trusted components for both new installations and service work.</p><h3>Why Professionals Trust Manchester Tank</h3><ul style="list-style:disc"><li><strong>Proven compliance:</strong> Products conform to DOT specifications 4BA and 4BW and Transport Canada (TC) specifications 4BAM and 4BWM, as well as ASME pressure vessel standards.</li><li><strong>Broad size range:</strong> Cylinders from 5 lbs to 420 lbs and ASME tanks from 1 to 30,000 gallons cover virtually any application.</li><li><strong>Built for durability:</strong> Steel shot-blasting and powder-coat finishing protect against rust in harsh environments.</li><li><strong>Made in the USA:</strong> Manchester Tank manufactures its cylinders domestically, with distribution points across the country for reliable availability.</li><li><strong>Decades of experience:</strong> Over 75 years of pressure vessel manufacturing means deep expertise in safety, compliance, and product performance.</li></ul><p>From the weekend camper refilling a portable BBQ cylinder to the industrial facility managing large-scale propane storage, Manchester Tank Co delivers the engineering, compliance, and reliability that safety-critical applications demand.</p>
