The Snyder Industries 10500 Gallon ASTM XLPE Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a cross-linked polyethylene vertical storage tank built for large-volume liquid storage where a single white tank needs to hold a full 10,500 gallons. It stands 169 inches tall on a 142 x 142 inch footprint, carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, and is ANSI / NSF 61 approved as listed on this model. If you are sizing a bulk water reservoir, a rural fire-water supply, or any heavy liquid storage tank at this scale, this Snyder XLPE tank is built to carry the load.
Will it work for your site?
The numbers that drive your planning are in the specs and on the technical drawing on this page. Filled with water, this tank weighs 87,570 lb; at its full 1.9 specific gravity rating it is rated to carry contents up to 166,383 lb. That spread is the design margin between plain water and the maximum rated density: this vertical storage tank is rated for 1.9 SG rather than the ~1.0 you would plan around for plain water. The 142 x 142 inch footprint and 169 inch height drive your pad design and your overhead clearance, so confirm both against the technical drawing before you build. At 169 inches the tank stands more than 14 feet tall, so verify 14-plus feet of vertical clearance for the set, plus room for any fill plumbing and offload access. To turn your demand into the right capacity, run the Tank Sizing Calculator and read the Tank Sizing Guide.
Why the 1.9 SG rating matters here
At 10,500 gallons, the rated density is not a detail to skip. A 1.9 specific gravity rating means the tank wall is rated for liquids up to 1.9 times the weight of water, which is the structural margin that lets this tank handle the 166,383 lb maximum rated contents weight above. If your stored liquid is denser than water, that rating is what keeps the wall inside its design envelope. Because this is a water-service tank, it helps to know the ANSI / NSF 61 listing on this model covers materials in contact with potable water, so the cert is relevant to drinking-water duty as listed. For a closer look at Snyder's crosslinked polyethylene line, see Snyder XLPE vs HDPE: when crosslinking matters for chemistry duty, and for high-density or freeboard-sensitive service the Snyder freeboard sizing guide built around ASTM D1998 walks through the real usable volume after thermal expansion.
The foundation is the mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this size is the pad. A vertical storage tank holding up to 166,383 lb of contents demands a level, full-contact concrete pad sized to the load, not a partial ring or compacted gravel. An undersized or uneven foundation is what cracks large poly tanks. Before you set this tank, work through concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks using the ACI 360R-10 framework. If this tank is headed for a rural or remote fire-protection role, the fire-water reservoir tank design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection. Fitting and outlet configuration for this model is shown on the technical drawing on this page; call 866-418-1777 to confirm bulkhead and manway sizes before you order.
