The Snyder Industries 10500 Gallon ASTM Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a bulk polyethylene vertical storage tank for large-volume water and process storage where a heavy, high-density-rated wall matters. Molded in black polyethylene with a 1.9 specific gravity rating, it stands 179 inches tall on a 143 x 143 inch footprint and holds a full 10,500 gallons. If you are sizing a fire-water reservoir, an irrigation or bulk-water buffer, or an industrial storage train, this is a high-capacity single-tank vertical option in the black tank class.
Will it work for your site?
Start with the load, because a tank this size drives your pad design more than anything else. Filled with water the contents weigh roughly 87,570 lb, and the tank is rated to carry up to 166,383 lb of contents at its 1.9 specific gravity ceiling. That 1.9 rating is real headroom: the same wall handles denser process liquids and brines down the road, so you are not re-buying if your service gets heavier than plain water. Plan the foundation around the actual weight of what you store, and set it on a level, engineered concrete pad that carries the full footprint. Our concrete pad sizing guide and the Tank Sizing Calculator walk the ACI framework, and because 10,500 gallons is gross volume, the ASTM D1998 freeboard guide shows how to size the usable volume you actually get.
Fittings and access
The technical drawing on this page shows the outfitting: a flange, an 18-inch PE threaded and vented fitting, and a manway with 15-inch access for inspection, cleaning, and interior work. Confirm your bulkhead fittings and gaskets match the flange bore and the 18-inch threaded port before you order plumbing, so the sealing surfaces mate the first time. The vented path earns its keep on a nearly 15-foot water column: a fast fill or draw needs the air to keep pace with the static head, or you risk pulling or pushing against the tank.
Freight and ordering
This vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Chowchilla, California, quoted live to your ZIP code. Freight is priced by destination rather than folded into the list price, so run your ZIP through the Freight Cost Estimator for your freight cost, or call 866-418-1777 and we will handle the quote. Because the tank is 179 inches tall, confirm overhead and access clearance for the truck and set before delivery, and for reservoir sizing the NFPA 22 reservoir design guide is a good next read.
