The Snyder Industries 1100 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a white polyethylene vertical storage tank built to ASTM standards and rated for liquids up to 1.9 specific gravity. The spec data lists it at 55 inches tall on an 86 x 86 inch footprint, sizing it as a wide-base vertical tank for bulk water storage, fire-water reservoir duty, and general liquid handling where a low center of gravity matters more than a tall column. Because dimensions on a tank this size are easy to misread, confirm height and footprint against the technical drawing on this page before you pour a pad or commit a location.
Why the 1.9 SG build is the value here
The headline on this Snyder vertical tank is its 1.9 specific gravity rating. On a water tank, a wall engineered for 1.9 SG carries far more structural margin than a 1.0 or 1.1 water-only build: filled with water this unit holds roughly 9,174 lbs of contents, which sits at about 53% of its 17,431 lb maximum rated contents weight. That margin is the headroom you pay for. The same vessel that stores potable or process water today can later handle heavier liquids up to the 1.9 rating without being pushed to its limit, and the thicker structural section translates to a longer service life under everyday water duty. It is a premium build doing an everyday job.
Will it work for your job
The 86-inch square footprint keeps the center of gravity low, which is exactly what you want when siting a full 1,100-gallon vessel on a slab. One honest caveat: our spec data does not publish the outlet, inlet, and fitting layout for this hdpe storage tank, so do not assume a standard penetration pattern. Read the actual fitting and bulkhead positions off the technical drawing on this page, or call us at 866-418-1777 to confirm them, before you plumb anything. Match the slab, the inlet routing, and the overflow to what the drawing actually shows.
Sizing it right
Before you commit, run your daily draw, storage reserve, or fire-water requirement through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide. For fire-protection storage on rural or remote sites, our fire-water reservoir design guide walks through NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection. To understand the ASTM D1998 sizing logic and wall-thickness math behind a vertical tank like this, read our breakdown of HDPE tank wall thickness at the vapor-saturated headspace. If you are weighing single-wall against secondary containment, the Snyder Captor double-wall freeboard guide covers the usable-volume tradeoff, and our model-specific 1100 gallon vertical tank buyer's guide rounds out the picture.
The mistake to avoid
At 1.9 SG you can fill this tank to its full 1,100-gallon volume, so the 17,431 lb figure is the maximum simultaneous volume and density, not a number to chase with the densest fluid you can find. The error on a high-SG tank is treating that ceiling as a target. Match your liquid's real specific gravity and your true working volume to the rating before you order, and verify every penetration against the technical drawing rather than assuming the layout.
This tank ships LTL freight from the nearest Snyder plant in our network, either Lincoln, NE or Philippi, WV, with freight quoted live to your ZIP. An eastern buyer ships from West Virginia and a central or western buyer from Nebraska, and that shorter haul materially changes your LTL cost, so get an exact number with our Freight Cost Estimator or call 866-418-1777 to confirm specs, lead time, and shipping before you order.
