The Snyder Industries 1000 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank holds 1,000 gallons of water in a white, high-density linear polyethylene body. This specific listing is the 60-inch diameter x 89-inch height configuration - note that up front, because the other 1000-gallon verticals you may see linked below come in 64 x 81, 64 x 80, and 72 x 66 builds that are not interchangeable on a slab. The footprint here is a tight 60.0 x 60.0 inches, so it fits a standard concrete pad or a corner of a pump house without the sprawl of a low-profile tank. It carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, meaning the wall schedule is built to hold liquids up to 1.5 times the density of water - genuine headroom on a vertical water tank.
Will this tank work for your site?
Plan your slab and stand around the loaded weight, not the empty shell. Filled with water, this tank carries roughly 8,340 pounds; at its full 1.5 SG rating it can reach 12,510 pounds of contents. That load sits on a 60-inch circle, so the pad has to be flat, level, and rated for the full filled weight before you plumb anything. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide if you are still deciding between this 1000 gallon vertical storage tank and a taller or shorter footprint.
Fittings and outlets
Top access is a 20-inch vented manway - room enough to plan top-fill, a float, or a level sensor - secured with #9 x 1-inch stainless lid screws. For plumbing, this Snyder vertical tank is configured with a 2-inch heavy-duty bulkhead fitting in polypropylene with an EPDM gasket, plus a 9-inch x 7.5-inch fitting. The supplied seal is EPDM, so confirm your fluid and any chlorination or cleaning chemistry are EPDM-compatible before ordering. For exact port placement and heights, see the technical drawing on this page - it shows where each fitting lands so you can pre-build your plumbing before delivery rather than guessing in the field.
The mistake to avoid
The single most common error on a vertical tank this tall is undersizing the base support. At 89 inches of column height, an uneven or undersized pad lets the loaded tank lean, and a leaning 8,340-pound water column stresses the bottom knuckle and the bulkhead outlet. Build the pad to the full 60-inch footprint and confirm it carries the loaded weight. The other watch-out: the 1.5 SG rating tells you the shell can handle heavier liquids, but this listing is sold for water service - if your liquid is denser than water, confirm the application before you fill.
