Snyder Industries 1000 Gallon ASTM XLPE Vertical Storage Tank

The Snyder Industries 1000 Gallon ASTM XLPE Vertical Storage Tank is a crosslinked linear polyethylene vertical storage tank built for demanding bulk water and higher-density liquid storage. It holds 1,000 gallons in a 60-inch diameter footprint, stands 89 inches tall, and carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating tied to its ASTM XLPE crosslinked wall, so it is engineered for contents heavier than plain water. It is molded in natural white.

Will it work for your site?

Plan your pad and rigging around the real loads. Filled with water, this tank weighs about 8,340 lb; at its full 1.5 SG rating it can carry up to 12,510 lb of contents. The 60.0 x 60.0 inch footprint sets the minimum pad size, and a level, fully supported base is essential for a tank this tall. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm the 1,000-gallon capacity and vertical storage tank height fit your space before you order. For above-ground installs, our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI framework behind a proper foundation.

Fittings and access

Per the technical drawing on this page, this tank is configured with a flange, an 18-inch PE threaded/vented fitting, and a manway with 15-inch access. The vented threaded fitting supports proper venting during fill and draw-down, and the 15-inch manway access lets you inspect and clean the interior. Seal-interface details live on the drawing, not in the spec sheet, so confirm fitting positions, the manway gasket, and the flange bolt pattern against the technical drawing before you plumb the tank into your system.

The XLPE detail worth getting right

The most common mistake on a tank like this is treating its 1.5 SG rating as unlimited headroom. That rating means the ASTM XLPE crosslinked wall is built to hold liquids up to 1.5 times the density of water, which is why it carries heavier contents than a standard water-only tank. If your liquid is denser than 1.5 SG, this is not the right tank; call 866-418-1777 and we will size the correct one. For straight water, fire reserve, or reuse storage it has ample margin. Our Snyder freeboard sizing guide shows how density and thermal expansion affect the volume you can actually use, and our fire-water reservoir design guide and water reuse topology guide cover freeboard and layout discipline.

This tank ships LTL by freight from a single West Coast plant in Chowchilla, California, so freight scales with distance and East Coast ZIPs will carry a longer haul.
