The Snyder Industries 110 Gallon ASTM Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a compact, upright polyethylene vertical storage tank built for water and general liquid storage where floor space is tight. At 41 inches tall on a 33 x 33 inch footprint, it holds 110 gallons and carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, so it is engineered to handle liquids heavier than water without over-stressing the wall. That 1.9 rating is the top-tier density rating for this shell, so there is no heavier-duty version of this tank to step up to.
Will it work for your site?
Filled with water, the contents weigh about 917 pounds. Because the shell is rated to 1.9 specific gravity, the maximum rated contents weight climbs to roughly 1,743 pounds if you fill it with a denser liquid than water. That 1,743-pound figure is contents only, so your pad has to carry that number plus the empty tank's own dead weight (see the technical drawing on this page for the tank's shipping weight). Confirm your slab or stand can carry the fully loaded weight before you order. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to check that 110 gallons matches your draw-down and refill cycle.
Fittings, access, and sealing
This black vertical tank comes fitted for real service, not just static storage. The technical drawing on this page shows a 10-inch polyethylene threaded fill with a cap and a 7-inch access opening, a 7 x 10 inch flat fitting pad, an additional flat fitting spot, and a flange location, so you have defined points to plumb your fill and outlet rather than cutting into a blank wall. Any bulkhead, siphon, or outlet fitting has to seat on the 7 x 10 inch flat pad or the flange, so size that sealing hardware and its gasket to those flats, and confirm the gasket material against the liquid you plan to store. Review the drawing on this page for the exact fitting positions before you set the tank and run your lines.
Pad and installation notes
An above-ground poly tank of this height needs a flat, fully supported base with no point loads under the floor. For a permanent install, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework so the base carries the loaded weight evenly. The black exterior blocks light and slows algae growth in stored water, which is one reason it is a common choice for outdoor storage-tank duty.
