The Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank in green is a high-density linear polyethylene (HDLPE) vertical tank built for bulk water storage. It stands 96 inches tall on a 102 x 102-inch footprint and holds 3,000 gallons rated to a 1.0 specific gravity. Filled with water, contents reach roughly 25,020 pounds, so the pad and site have to be planned around that load before the tank ever arrives. The technical drawing on this page governs the exact port heights and dimensions.
Will it work for your site?
This is a straight water storage tank: green HDLPE resin, sized for general water storage rather than heavy chemical service. The 1.0 specific-gravity rating is a hard ceiling, not a spec to read past. It means the tank is engineered for contents up to the density of water, roughly 25,020 pounds when full. Do not fill it with any liquid heavier than water. The vertical profile keeps the footprint compact at 102 x 102 inches while giving you the full 3,000-gallon column, which is why it is a common pick for rural fire-water reserves, irrigation buffering, and industrial water reuse trains. If you are still deciding on capacity, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and read the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
Fittings and access
The tank comes configured with a flange, a 2-3" S.U.M.O. fitting for the main supply or drain line, a 1-1/2" polypropylene bulkhead fitting with an EPDM gasket, a 2" polypropylene bulkhead fitting with an EPDM gasket, and an 18" polyethylene manway with an integrated 4" vent and tie-down. The 18" manway gives you a full-size access point for inspection and cleaning, and the built-in 4" vent handles fill and draw air exchange so you do not need to spec a separate vent. Both bulkhead outlets seal on EPDM elastomer with polypropylene bodies, which suits ambient water storage and general reuse water well; if you ever plan to introduce any chemistry, verify EPDM and polypropylene compatibility first. Confirm the exact port heights and orientation against the technical drawing on this page so your fittings line up with your riser and valve layout.
Weight, pad, and freight
Because a full 3,000-gallon column runs about 25,020 pounds, the foundation is the part most people underestimate. A vertical poly tank needs a level, continuously supported pad rated for that load; our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework. If this tank is going into a rural fire reserve or a grey-water and rainwater reuse system, our fire-water reservoir design guide and industrial water reuse topology guide cover the sizing and plumbing decisions in detail.
