The Snyder Industries 4100 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a white polyethylene vertical storage tank built to a 1.5 specific gravity rating, meaning it is engineered to hold liquids up to 1.5 times the density of water without exceeding its wall design. That headroom is the reason to choose it: filled with plain water at roughly 8.34 lb per gallon, this tank carries about 34,194 lb of contents; at its full 1.5 SG rating it is built to hold up to 51,291 lb. That is roughly 17,097 lb of extra load capacity over plain water. Standing 130 inches tall on a 102 x 102 inch footprint, it is a large-format vertical tank for bulk water, fire-protection reserve, and general liquid storage.
Will it work for your site?
Match the tank to your liquid and your slab. Because it is rated to 1.5 SG, it handles water and most water-based liquids in that density band with margin to spare. The full-water load of about 34,194 lb concentrated on a 102 x 102 inch footprint is what drives your foundation design, so plan a level, engineered pad rated for the filled weight. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm this 4,100-gallon size against your draw-down and refill cycle, and the 130-inch height and 102 x 102 inch footprint give you the numbers you need for access and layout planning. Fitting and outlet configuration is confirmed at order, so call 866-418-1777 to lock in the exact port arrangement for your plumbing.
Foundation and application planning
For above-ground installs, the pad matters as much as the tank. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework for a tank this heavy. If this vertical tank is going into rural fire-protection duty, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection. For reclaim and reuse trains, see our industrial water reuse tank topology write-up.
The mistake to avoid
The common error on a large vertical storage tank is treating the SG rating as a formality. The 1.5 SG design is what lets this tank hold denser liquids safely; if your liquid is heavier than 1.5 SG, this is the wrong tank and you need a higher-rated vessel. Equally, undersize the pad and the filled weight will crack it. For long-service durability, our note on HDPE wall thickness at the vapor-saturated headspace explains where premature failures actually start.
