7,000 Gallon Tanks
7,000 Gallon Tanks
Seven thousand gallons on a wide, low mold: Snyder's 142 inch vertical stands only 122 inches, which keeps the manway reachable and the load spread. Eight verticals and two cone bottoms from Snyder and Enduraplas. Spin the vertical below, compare the walls, and get freight to your ZIP.

122inches tall. Wider than it is tall.
The Snyder vertical is 142 inches across and 122 inches tall, a low, wide shape for this capacity. It still clears no 96 inch ceiling, but the 18 inch manway is within reach of a short platform.
58,380pounds of water when full. Water alone weighs 58,380 pounds.
Multiply 7,000 gallons by 8.34 pounds per gallon. The 1.5 specific gravity walls carry contents up to 87,570 pounds, and the 1.9 walls up to 110,922 pounds. Size the pad for the liquid you will actually store.
The ten tanks
Start with the wall. Resin sets what the tank can hold and how hot; the specific gravity rating sets how heavy a liquid the wall is built for. Pick a cell to narrow the list.

The ten tanks, and how they differ
Eight verticals: Snyder's 142 inch mold in white and black with 1.5 linear and 1.9 heavy duty walls, including crosslinked tanks rated to 140 degrees F, and Enduraplas verticals. Two cone bottoms on stands drain completely for mixing and blending at a scale where a flat bottom would strand hundreds of gallons.
Listed prices run 15,609 to 22,879 dollars before freight across the ten, a tight range because the capacity sets the resin cost. Eight of the ten list NSF/ANSI 61 or FDA compliant resin.
For water at a specific gravity of 1.0 the 1.5 wall is a wide margin. Fertilizer, brine, and anything hotter than 120 degrees F or harder on resin is what the crosslinked 1.9 tanks are for.

What 7,000 gallons is on the ground
Wider than it is tall. The Snyder vertical is 142 inches across and 122 inches tall, a low, wide shape for this capacity. It still clears no 96 inch ceiling, but the 18 inch manway is within reach of a short platform.
A 12 foot circle of pad. The base is 142 inches across, about 110 square feet. The makers require the full bottom on a flat, level, compacted surface: a slab, a leveled ring of compacted crushed rock, or a steel ring filled and screeded.
Water alone weighs 58,380 pounds. Multiply 7,000 gallons by 8.34 pounds per gallon. The 1.5 specific gravity walls carry contents up to 87,570 pounds, and the 1.9 walls up to 110,922 pounds. Size the pad for the liquid you will actually store.
Choosing by what you will store
Potable and process water
Eight of the ten list NSF/ANSI 61 or FDA compliant resin. Black keeps algae down in the sun; white reads its level by eye. The comparison table shows which tanks carry the listing.
Browse potable and process water tanksRainwater harvesting
A 7,000 gallon tank catches an inch of rain from an 11,000 square foot roof. The low profile keeps the inlet near a single-story gutter line; add a first-flush diverter and a screened inlet.
Browse rainwater harvesting tanksFertilizer, brine and chemicals
Liquids heavier than water are what the 1.9 walls are for, and crosslinked resin takes the heat and the chemistry linear resin cannot. Check the liquid against the chemical tank recommender first.
Browse fertilizer, brine and chemicals tanksFire suppression reserve
Rural commercial sites keep a draft tank, and 7,000 gallons covers common sprinkler and dry-hydrant reserve figures with margin. Confirm the standard your authority having jurisdiction enforces before you order.

Getting it to your site, honestly
A 7,000 gallon tank is an oversize load by width: 142 inches on the trailer, freight class 300, 400 or OVS. It moves on a flatbed with permits on some lanes, the driver does not unload it, and you need a crane with soft slings or a lift with long forks and a spreader.
Snyder ships from Lincoln, Nebraska; Enduraplas from the plants on its product pages. Listed prices are before freight. Put your ZIP in the freight cost estimator and you get a real LTL quote for this class and weight.
The honest limitation: width is the constraint. A site road or gate under 12 feet cannot take delivery, and no lift fixes that. Two narrower tanks plumbed together can be the answer, and we will say so on the phone.

Standards the manufacturers list
ASTM D1998, Standard Specification for Polyethylene Upright Storage Tanks, is the construction standard for these molds; it sets wall thickness by specific gravity rating.
NSF/ANSI 61, Drinking Water System Components, and FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 for the olefin polymers are listed by the makers on eight of the ten. We print what each maker lists for each tank and nothing stronger.

Install day
Set a vertical on the finished pad with the manway reachable from a short platform; bolt a cone bottom's stand to its pad per the stand drawing. Leave the threaded vented manway as the vent unless you add a dedicated one.
Pipe every fitting with a flexible connection and support the pipe independently. Keep the drawing on the job; the 3D model on this page is traced from the hero tank's own drawing.

Questions we get about 7,000 gallon tanks
How much does a 7,000 gallon plastic tank cost?
Listed at 15,609 to 22,879 dollars before freight on this page, by wall rating and resin. Freight is quoted separately to your ZIP because an oversize flatbed load prices by lane.
Why is the 7,000 gallon tank so wide?
Snyder's mold trades height for footprint: 142 inches across and 122 tall. If you have width and not height, this is the tank; if you have height and not width, look at the 8,000 gallon page.
Which ones are rated for drinking water?
Eight of the ten list NSF/ANSI 61 or FDA compliant resin; the comparison table and each card show the listing.
