The Snyder Industries 5000 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (SKU 1002100C126) is a white, 5000 gallon vertical tank molded in high density linear polyethylene for bulk liquid storage. It stands 154" tall on a 102" diameter footprint, weighs 1,050 lb empty, and ships without a fitting installed - so you specify your own bulkhead outlet and plumbing to match the job. This is the tank to plan around when you need serious on-site volume and want to build the fitting package to your exact discharge and fill requirements. It is built to standards 2285 and 2282.
Will it work for your liquid?
Read the material as one envelope: high density linear polyethylene, a 1.9 specific gravity rating, and a 120 F / 48 C maximum contents temperature. The 1.9 SG rating means the body is engineered to hold contents up to 1.9 times the weight of water. That drives the three numbers you rig and pour around - 1,050 lb empty, about 41,700 lb full of water, and roughly 79,230 lb at the full 1.9 SG rating - so your pad, ring wall, or slab has to be poured for that load and sit dead level across the 102" diameter. Confirm the specific gravity of your actual liquid against that 1.9 number before you buy; matching SG to contents is the single most common sizing mistake on a tank this size. Because this Snyder vertical liquid storage tank arrives without fittings, use the Tank Sizing Guide and Tank Sizing Calculator to lock in your outlet height and fill configuration before you order. The 18" lid gives top access for gauging and inspection.
Spec the fitting package before you order
The 5000 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank Buyer's Guide walks through the full decision, and for private fire-protection reservoirs our Fire-Water Reservoir Design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection. Check the technical drawing on this page against your discharge and fill plan so the bulkhead outlet you choose lands where your plumbing needs it.
Freight and how it ships
A 5000 gallon vertical tank ships LTL freight on its own. This Snyder tank ships from West Virginia, and freight is quoted live to your ZIP rather than bundled into the list price. At 154" tall and 102" across, plan for offload - a forklift, loader, or crane - and clear access at the delivery site.
Get your exact freight number with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will help you spec the fitting package, confirm your SG, and quote delivery to your site.
