The Snyder Industries 1000 Gallon XLPE Vertical Double Wall Liquid Storage Tank is a 1,000-gallon vertical double wall tank in white, molded from cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and rated to a 1.9 specific gravity. The double-wall construction places a primary storage tank inside an integral secondary containment shell, so a leak in the inner wall is caught by the outer wall instead of reaching your floor, pad, or soil. Rated to 1.9 SG, it supports up to 15,846 lb of contents versus 8,340 lb for plain water - the real differentiator on this XLPE double wall unit, and the number that should drive your pad and anchoring. The dimensioned layout is on the technical drawing on this page; confirm those figures against your doorway, pad, and overhead clearance before you order.
Will it hold what you need it to hold
Filled with plain water this 1000 gallon tank carries about 8,340 lb, and its maximum rated contents weight is 15,846 lb. That second number is the one to design around: at the 1.9 specific gravity rating, a full 1,000 gallons of a dense liquid is allowed to weigh far more than the same volume of water. Use that rated weight, not just the gallon figure, to size your concrete pad and your anchoring, and size the pad to at least the tank footprint plus working clearance. If you are unsure how your liquid's density translates into pad load, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide before you pour anything.
Why a double-wall XLPE tank
This vertical storage tank is molded from cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and carries that 1.9 specific gravity rating, which is what lets it support the higher contents weight above. The double-wall design is what defines the model: secondary containment is built in as an integral outer shell rather than added as a separate dike. The most common mistake on a tank like this is treating the gallon number as the whole sizing story. Size to the rated contents weight, keep the footprint and overall height in mind for your install location, and review the Snyder double-wall freeboard sizing guide for how thermal expansion and density affect the volume you can actually use day to day. Fitting locations and sizes are detailed on the technical drawing; for the full inlet, outlet, fill, and vent schedule, check that drawing or call us before you order so the configuration matches your plumbing.
Comparing 1000-gallon vertical options
This is one of several 1000-gallon vertical configurations, and footprint versus height is where they differ. If you are weighing this double wall unit against other 1000-gallon verticals, our 1000 gallon buyer's guides walk through the trade-offs: see the 64 x 81 guide, the 64 x 80 guide, and the 72 x 66 guide.

Because a 1,000-gallon double-wall tank is an oversized, heavy item, freight is quoted live rather than included in the list price.
