1,000 gallons of cross-linked polyethylene, 69 inches tall
The Snyder 5990100N42 is a low profile vertical storage tank in cross-linked polyethylene: 1,000 gallons in a shell 74 inches across and 69 inches tall, weighing 525 pounds, with a wall rated for a specific gravity of 1.9, or 15,846 pounds of contents against 8,340 for water. Cross-linked resin is the wall for hypochlorite and the other oxidizers, sulfuric acid at strength, and liquids stored warm, and the low shape puts the 18 inch manway at chest height under a six foot header. A 3 year warranty, and a base that ships as standard LTL freight.

Why cross-linked, why low
Linear polyethylene softens with heat and creeps under sustained load; cross-linked polyethylene is molded with a catalyst that ties the polymer chains into one network, so it holds its shape under a dense liquid, resists the stress cracking oxidizers cause, and tolerates heat. The trade is that it cannot be plastic-welded, so any added port is a bulkhead through a drilled hole, decided before the tank is filled. The low shape cannot tip, keeps a pump suction flooded to the last few inches, and puts the floor a hand's reach through the manway for cleaning; the cost is 74 inches of floor in full contact with a level pad carrying up to 15,846 pounds at the rating. The tank sizing calculator sizes the volume to feed rate and delivery interval, and the tank sizing guide covers the reserve to carry.
Low against tall at 1,000 gallons
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5990100N42 (this tank, XLPE) | 1,000 | 74 x 69 in | 525 lb |
| 5990100N45 (HDLPE, ASTM certified) | 1,000 | 74 x 69 in | 525 lb |
| 1831000N42 (tall, XLPE) | 1,000 | 60 x 89 in | 300 lb |
| 1810000C34 (doorway) | 850 | 48 x 117 in | 210 lb |
| 1710000C26 (low profile) | 1,100 | 86 x 55 in | 160 lb |
The N45 is the linear-resin twin at the same weight, sold with ASTM certification for jobs that need the paper. The 1831000N42 is the tall cross-linked 1,000, 20 inches higher on a base 14 inches narrower at 225 pounds less. The 1810000C34 is the doorway shape, and the 1710000C26 is the lightest low tank, 1,100 gallons at 55 inches on an 86 inch base.

Where the pipe goes
- Access: 18 inch threaded, vented manway, at chest height; vent outside on hypochlorite, acid and caustic, fill through a dip tube.
- Outlet: specify the bulkhead fitting for the chemical when ordering; a flexible transition to the pipe and a valve supported off the floor.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
A 69 inch range is easy for any level sender, chosen for the chemical since hypochlorite is hard on wetted parts. Mount the dosing pump below the outlet so it primes by gravity, give the vent a line routed away from the pump's electrical gear, and shade the tank; hypochlorite degrades with heat and time, so buy small lots often.
The work it does
Hypochlorite day and bulk tanks at water systems, acid and caustic make-up tanks on skids with a low ceiling, and any 1,000 gallon vessel where the chemical would attack a linear wall in a season. With water in it, one unit of the fire reserve the fire-water reservoir design guide describes, with a wall that will outlast a water tank's.
Freight, in plain terms
At 74 inches across the 5990100N42 ships as LTL freight (NMFC 156600-03), palletized, at a class rate the freight cost estimator shows for your ZIP; the listed price is before freight. A liftgate and a pallet jack handle 525 pounds. Water-fill to the manway and hold it before the first chemical goes in, and confirm the outlet and manway are dry after the hold. Save the pallet; a tank that ever has to move again is easier to move on it.
