In the title salt, C(6)H(18)N(3) (3+)·3NO(3) (-), the piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation and the ethyl-ammonium group is equatorial relative to the piperazine ring, and in an all-trans conformation. In the crystal, strong charge-assisted N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the piperazinediium trications and the nitrate anions into a three-dimensional network.
