The Snyder Industries 10,500-gallon vertical storage tank is a crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) vessel built for large-volume above-ground water and bulk-liquid storage. This vertical tank stands 179 inches tall on a 143 x 143 inch footprint, holds a nominal 10,500 gallons, and carries a 1.5 specific-gravity rating in natural white XLPE. That tall vertical profile paired with a 1.5 SG wall makes it a workhorse for high-column storage, where wall stress at depth is a real design factor.
Will it work for your site?
Start with weight, because a storage tank this size is a foundation decision before it is a plumbing decision. Full of water it carries roughly 87,570 pounds of contents, and at its maximum 1.5 SG rating it is engineered for up to 131,355 pounds of liquid. That headroom matters: the 1.5 SG wall means the tank is rated for liquids denser than water — up to 1.5 specific gravity — on the same vessel, so you are not stepping up a product line to store heavier solutions. Confirm your pad and soil bearing before you order with the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide; for pad thickness, our concrete-pad sizing guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework. The 143 x 143 inch footprint sets the minimum pad dimension, and the tank needs a full-bearing, level surface with no point loads.
Fittings and access
Per the technical drawing on this page, the tank is configured with a flange connection for inlet/outlet plumbing, an 18-inch PE threaded and vented lid, and a manway with 15-inch access for interior entry, inspection, and cleaning. The 15-inch manway is your service opening on a 179-inch-tall vessel and is separate from the vented lid — check the drawing for exact fitting sizes and elevations before you set your plumbing. The vented lid detail is not incidental: a tank filling or draining at this volume moves a lot of air and must breathe freely to avoid vacuum or pressure on the wall. Whatever you bolt to the flange or manway, match the gasket to the stored liquid, since those seals are the leak path. If your application is a fire-water reservoir or rural private fire-protection stack, our NFPA 22 reservoir design guide covers freeboard, draft, and cold-climate freeze protection.
Freight
This XLPE vertical storage tank ships by LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Chowchilla, California — the named production point for this SKU and its only origin. At nearly twelve feet across and fifteen feet tall it is an oversize item, and single-origin shipping from California drives cost for buyers outside the West, so freight is quoted live to your delivery ZIP rather than listed. Pull a freight number in seconds with our Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 to confirm plant availability, delivery-access requirements, and offload equipment for a tank this size before you buy.
