The Snyder Industries 100 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank is a black, crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) tank built for heavy-duty vertical storage where a compact footprint matters. It stands 41 inches tall on a 30 x 30 inch base, holds a nominal 100 gallons, and includes a 15-inch manway for interior access. Its 1.9 specific-gravity rating means the wall and floor are engineered to hold contents up to 1.9 times the weight of water - so for water storage you already own Snyder's heavy-duty build, with real structural margin held in reserve rather than paying to step up a tier.
Will it work for your site?
Filled with water this 100 gallon tank carries roughly 834 pounds of contents; at its full 1.9 SG rating it is built to hold up to about 1,585 pounds. Plan your pad and anchoring around the loaded weight, not the empty shell - the concrete pad sizing framework walks through supporting that load correctly. Remember too that a 100 gallon nominal rating is not 100 gallons of usable draw once you account for outlet height and freeboard; the freeboard sizing guide and the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm the size against your real draw-down and refill cycle before you order. The tight 30 x 30 inch vertical footprint fits equipment rooms, truck beds, and skid frames where a wider tank will not go.
Fittings and access
Per the technical drawing on this page, this tank is configured with a flange fitting, an 18-inch polyethylene threaded and vented top closure, and a manway with 15-inch access. The vented closure lets the tank breathe as it fills and drains, and the 15-inch manway gives you room to reach inside for cleaning and inspection. Match every connection to the outlets shown on the drawing, and size matching gaskets and bulkhead fittings to those ports - confirm gasket and o-ring compatibility with your fluid before you plumb the flange and threaded closure.
XLPE and the mistake to avoid
The common misstep on a tank like this is treating the crosslinked (XLPE) resin as interchangeable with standard HDPE. XLPE is the tougher, more impact- and stress-crack-resistant material chosen for the highest-duty applications, but unlike HDPE it is not weld-repairable. If you are weighing the two, the Snyder XLPE vs HDPE guide explains when crosslinking earns its place.
