The Snyder Industries 1100 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank in black is a high-density linear polyethylene vessel built for above-ground bulk water storage on a compact 86-inch round footprint. It stands 55 inches tall on an 86-inch diameter, holds 1,100 gallons, and carries a 1.0 specific gravity rating, meaning it is engineered for water and other contents at or below water density. At 55 inches tall on an 86-inch base, this is a low-profile vertical: the squat aspect ratio lowers fill-head and center of gravity versus a tall vertical of equal volume, which helps stability and siting. Filled to capacity, the contents alone weigh 9,174 pounds, so the pad and siting decisions matter as much as the tank itself. The black exterior blocks light to slow algae growth in standing water storage.
Will it work for your site?
This is a vertical storage tank sized for stationary outdoor or sheltered use: rural water reserves, fire-water reservoirs, rainwater catchment aggregation, and industrial water reuse trains. The 1.0 SG rating confirms it for water and other contents at or below water density. Plan for the full 9,174-pound contents load when you size the base. For above-ground installs, a properly sized concrete pad keeps the floor flat and prevents settlement stress, covered in our concrete pad sizing guide. If you are still matching a tank to your demand, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk you through volume and footprint.
Fittings and access
The tank comes configured with polypropylene bulkhead fittings, including a 1-1/2-inch eco-bulkhead fitting and a 2-inch bulkhead fitting, both with EPDM gaskets, plus a flange connection. EPDM is well-suited to ambient water service; if you ever repurpose the tank for another contents, confirm gasket compatibility before changing service. Access and inspection are through an 18-inch polyethylene manway, large enough for cleanout, fitted with a 4-inch vent and tether. That vent matters in service: it admits atmospheric air during draw-down so the closed-top tank does not pull a vacuum and collapse as you empty it. Confirm the fitting sizes and placement against the technical drawing on this page before you plumb the inlet, outlet, and overflow so your connections line up with your piping plan. After commissioning, a controlled water fill verifies the floor and every fitting under load; our hydrostatic test methodology guide covers fill discipline, pad settlement monitoring, and fitting leak detection.
Use-case fit
For private fire protection on rural and remote sites, NFPA 22 reservoir sizing and freeze protection drive the design; see our fire-water reservoir design guide. For grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate aggregation, our water reuse topology guide shows where a vertical storage tank like this fits in a quality-banded train. The common mistake on a tank this size is treating it as portable: at 9,174 pounds full, it is a fixed install, and the pad has to be right before the first fill.
