Snyder Industries 1000 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank with Fitting

The Snyder Industries 1000 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank ships as a molded high density linear polyethylene tank with a factory-installed 2" outlet and an 18" lid, standing 89" tall on a 60" diameter footprint. It carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, an empty weight of 200 lb, a 120 F / 48 C maximum temperature, and certifications 2285, 2282. If you searched for a 1000 gallon Snyder Industries vertical liquid tank with a fitting, this is that tank, so confirm the 2" outlet and 18" lid layout against your plumbing before you order.

Will it work for your site?

This is a general-purpose vertical liquid storage tank for water and compatible liquids up to a 1.9 specific gravity. Full of water, 1000 gallons weighs roughly 8,340 lb; full at the maximum rated 1.9 SG, contents run near 15,846 lb. Size the pad to that worst case, not the water figure: it needs to be flat, level, and rated to carry the full 15,846 lb load. The single 2" outlet sets your draw and fill plumbing, and the 18" lid gives you top access for level sensors or manual fill. Fitting hardware is confirmed per order, so call 866-418-1777 with your plumbing details and we will verify the outlet and lid configuration before the tank ships. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to match this footprint and height to your space and turnover.

The mistake to avoid

The most common error on a vertical tank like this is treating the specific gravity rating as a formality. Water sits at 1.0, so plain water is well within spec, but if you plan to store a denser liquid, the 1.9 SG rating is a hard ceiling, not a suggestion. Exceeding it overstresses the wall over time. Verify your liquid's SG, and if it runs heavier than 1.9, do not force this tank: call 866-418-1777 and we will match you to a higher-SG-rated tank instead. Also plan your fittings and any elevated fill around the 89" height so you are not working blind at the 18" lid.

Freight

This tank is manufactured by Snyder Industries and ships LTL from Chowchilla, CA. Because it moves as an oversized shipment, freight is quoted live to your ZIP rather than bundled into the list price. Get a real number with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it and confirm the fitting and lid configuration before your tank leaves California.
