The Snyder Industries 1000 Gallon ASTM XLPE Black Vertical Storage Tank is a 1,000-gallon crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) vertical tank rated to a 1.5 specific gravity. That rating is the spec to lead with: the same Chowchilla-built XLPE wall that stores bulk water also handles heavier-than-water liquids up to 1.5 SG, so the tank works across water, fire-reserve, rainwater, and reuse duty without stepping up to a different vessel. It stands 89 inches tall on a 60-inch diameter footprint (60.0 x 60.0), fitting a compact pad while holding a full 1,000 gallons. The opaque black wall blocks light transmission through the tank, which inhibits algae growth and makes it a durable choice for outdoor storage.
Will it work for your site?
Filled with water, this tank carries roughly 8,340 lb of contents; at its full 1.5 SG rating it holds up to 12,510 lb, so plan your pad and anchoring around the heavier figure if you store anything denser than water. It comes with three fittings you can map straight to tasks: the 18-inch PE threaded, vented lid accepts standard fill and vent hardware, the flange takes your outlet or bulkhead connection, and the manway with 15-inch access lets you inspect and clean the interior. Confirm outlet placement and fitting sizes against the technical drawing on this page before you set the tank, since drop, valve, and overflow heights all key off those locations. Also allow overhead clearance above the 89-inch tank height for filling and lid or manway access. If you are still weighing this 1,000-gallon size against a taller or wider vessel, run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and review the Tank Sizing Guide to match footprint, height clearance, and draw rate to your application.
Freight and where it ships from
This vertical storage tank ships by LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Chowchilla, California — the named production point for this SKU. Freight on a 1,000-gallon tank is a real line item, quoted live to your ZIP based on distance, accessorials, and delivery type, not bundled into the list price.

The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this size is sizing the foundation and anchoring for water weight alone. Full of water this tank carries about 8,340 lb, but at its full 1.5 specific-gravity rating the contents can reach 12,510 lb — build the pad, tie-downs, and any seismic or wind restraint around that heavier number, not the water figure. For cold-climate installs, size freeboard and freeze protection deliberately rather than as an afterthought. The rural fire-water reservoir design guide and the concrete pad sizing framework walk through the engineering, and the water reuse tank topology guide covers grey-water and rainwater aggregation layouts.
