The Snyder Industries 110 Gallon ASTM XLPE Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a crosslinked polyethylene vertical storage tank built for demanding water and high-density liquid duty. Standing 41 inches tall on a compact 33 x 33 inch footprint, it holds a nominal 110 gallons and carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating - a heavier rating than most standard water tanks, meaning the wall is engineered to hold contents far denser than water without deforming.
Will this vertical storage tank do the job?
Crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) is the tougher counterpart to standard HDPE: the resin chains bond across each other during molding, giving better impact resistance and a higher tolerance for heavier, denser contents. That is why this black vertical tank is rated to 1.9 specific gravity. Filled with plain water at 8.34 lb/gal, the contents weigh roughly 917 pounds; at the full 1.9 rating the tank is engineered to carry up to about 1,743 pounds of liquid. Plan your pad, straps, and pump connections around the heavier figure if you are storing anything denser than water. If you are still weighing a heavier-duty XLPE tank against a standard HDPE water tank, the Snyder XLPE vs HDPE guide is the decision aid; if you are still deciding on volume, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and review the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
Fittings and outlets
Per the technical drawing on this page, this vertical storage tank is configured with a flange, a 10-inch polyethylene threaded fill, a 7-inch access cap, and a 7-inch by 10-inch fitting flat with a 10-inch PE assembled cap and tie. Order your bulkhead fittings, gaskets, and any threaded cap or vent sized to that 10-inch PE fill and 7-inch access opening at the same time, and confirm the fitting layout and thread sizes against the drawing before ordering valves or fill plumbing so your connections match on the first pass. One caution for denser-than-water service: the 1.9-SG rating covers the tank wall, not the elastomer - verify your fitting gaskets and O-rings are compatible with your specific fluid before filling.
One mistake to avoid
Do not set a heavy-rated tank like this one on unprepared or uneven ground. A full 1.9-SG load approaching 1,743 pounds concentrates real weight on that 33 x 33 inch footprint - roughly 1.6 pounds per square inch at the full rating - and an out-of-level or soft base is the most common cause of premature stress cracking. Pour or place a flat, fully supporting pad sized for that load. If this is going into cold-climate or fire-reserve service, the rural fire-water reservoir design guide and concrete pad sizing guide walk through pad and freeze-protection detailing.
