The Chem-Tainer 110 Gallon HD Vertical Storage Tank (SKU TC3536IA) is a compact polyethylene vertical storage tank built for above-ground water and general storage service. It holds 110 gallons on a 35-inch footprint and stands 36 inches tall, so it fits through most standard-width service doors and tucks into pump houses, utility rooms, equipment sheds, and truck beds where a taller vertical tank will not clear. It is molded in natural white polyethylene and carries a heavy-duty 1.9 specific-gravity wall rating.
At a glance: 110 gal | 35 x 35 in footprint | 36 in tall | 917 lb full of water | 1.9 SG rated / 1,743 lb max contents | Natural White polyethylene | ships LTL from Hanford, CA.
Will it work for your job?
This is a small-footprint vertical tank on a 35.0 x 35.0 inch base - stable, easy to strap down, and simple to plumb. Filled with water it carries about 917 pounds. The wall is rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, which is the heavy-duty tier and gives a maximum rated contents weight of 1,743 pounds. That spread - roughly 826 pounds of density headroom over plain water - is what lets you store liquids heavier than water without exceeding the wall rating. The honest spec check before you buy: verify your fluid's specific gravity stays at or under 1.9, and match your fitting and gasket elastomer to the actual fluid, since the wrong gasket material fails long before the polyethylene does. See the technical drawing on this page for fitting and dimensional detail.
Sizing and placement
At 110 gallons this vertical storage tank suits point-of-use holding, rainwater and reuse catch, small fire-reserve top-off, batch mixing, and remote-site water hauling. Size the pad and any stand to the worst case - 1,743 pounds concentrated on a 35-inch base, not the 917-pound water figure. Run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide first. If you are pouring a base, the guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework, and for rural fire-water planning see our write-up on fire-water reservoir tank design for remote sites. For grey-water and rainwater trains, the industrial water reuse tank topology overview covers quality-banded storage.
The mistake to avoid
The common error on a compact vertical tank like this is reading the 1.9 SG rating as a license to skip pad work. The rating covers the tank wall, not your foundation - a fully loaded tank drops over 1,700 pounds onto a 35-inch base, so the pad and any elevated stand have to carry it flat and level. If you are weighing Chem-Tainer against other makers, our Snyder vs Norwesco vs Chem-Tainer comparison shows how the three differ on wall rating and build.
