Snyder Industries 10500 Gallon ASTM XLPE Vertical Storage Tank

Why a western site picks this one

Origin is the first thing worth checking on any tank this size, and here it is the reason to buy: moulded at Chowchilla, CA, the haul is short for the Central Valley, the coast, the desert Southwest and the intermountain West. At the 1.5 rating it is a general purpose bulk vessel: irrigation and stock water on a ranch, process and rinse water at a food or beverage plant, effluent and washdown holding, a fertilizer solution at a dealer or grower, rainwater captured for reuse, a treatment chemical near the weight of water at a small utility. At 2,600 lb empty it is a smaller crane and a lighter freight bill than the heavy duty version in the same body. Anything beyond water goes through our chemical compatibility guide; anything heavier than 1.5 times water belongs in the heavy duty version.

A rotationally moulded floor bears on its own floor and nothing else, so 87,570 lb of water presses down through a 143 inch circle. Engineer the slab level, cured and in full contact to our concrete pad sizing guide, berm it where the liquid is regulated, and in seismic country design the anchorage with the slab. Measure clear height plus room above the manway for a fill line, a vent and a person. Check the volume against your draw between deliveries in the tank sizing calculator, and take reserve and freeboard from the tank sizing guide. A fire reserve is a different brief with its own sizing and freeze rules; the fire water reservoir design guide is where that case gets made.

Openings, and what to confirm before you buy

1. Manway. 18 inch threaded vented manway, 179 inches up, the only opening listed. Permanent access: a caged fixed ladder or a platform on adjacent structure, a rail and gate, and a hard-piped fill landed at the manway. Fill through a dip tube to the floor; size the vent to the delivery pump.
2. Outlet. This listing carries no outlet size. A suction line or submersible through the manway keeps the shell undrilled; if the process needs a bottom draw, tell us the liquid and pipe size when you order and we confirm what Snyder fits before it ships. The drawing is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.
3. Base plumbing. First valve on its own support off the pad, flexible connector to hard pipe, pump below the outlet with a low-level float. Where winters freeze, trace the valve and the first pipe run, not the tank.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 300 from Snyder's plant in Chowchilla, CA, at its own 143 by 143 by 179 inch dimensions, an oversize load; the estimator will tell you whether your lane needs a phone call. Stand 2,600 lb upright in a single pick with straps around the body and never through the manway, straight onto a cured pad with the anchorage already cast in. Check the part number 5330300N40 against the bill of lading before you sign. Commission with water to the manway, hold it, walk the pad edge and the base for movement or a weep, then drain before the service liquid arrives.
