The Snyder Industries 1100 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank (SII-WG42) is a green polyethylene vertical tank built for bulk water and process water storage. It holds 1,100 gallons in an 86-inch-diameter footprint and stands 53 inches tall, so it fits low-clearance buildings, equipment sheds, and covered pads where a taller vertical storage tank would not clear. Pad envelope is 86 x 86 in, height 53 in — a short, wide stance engineered for stationary, above-ground water service.
Will it work for your site?
The tank carries a 1.0 specific gravity rating, which is correct for fresh water and other contents at or below water weight. Filled to capacity, the water alone weighs 9,174 lb, which is also the maximum rated contents weight, so size the pad for the full load rather than the dry tank. The 86.0 x 86.0 inch footprint is what your slab or ring foundation has to carry uniformly. Run your draw-down and reserve numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to this capacity. The EPDM bulkhead gaskets and the 1.0 SG rating together define this as a fresh-water and process-water tank, not a chemical tank.
Fittings and access
Outlet options are factory-installed 1-1/2" and 2" polypropylene bulkheads, both with EPDM gaskets, so you know the exact port diameters and seal material before you size a pump or gravity line. The tank also carries a flange and a 12" x 15" fitting, plus an 18-inch polyethylene manway with an integral 4-inch vent and a tie-down lug. That vented manway matters: it lets the tank breathe as you fill and draw down so you do not pull a vacuum or pressurize the dome, and the tie-down lug gives installers a factory anchor provision. Confirm the bulkhead positions and the flange location against the technical drawing on this page before you set plumbing, since outlet height drives your suction and gravity-feed layout.
Foundation and acceptance
A flat-bottom vertical tank transfers its full load straight down into the pad, so the slab has to be level, fully supporting, and sized for that 9,174 lb. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks the ACI 360R-10 framework, and once the pad is set, follow the hydrostatic test methodology to watch for pad settlement and fitting leaks during first fill. If this is a rural fire-water reserve, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and freeze protection, and the water reuse topology guide covers grey-water, rainwater, and condensate aggregation.
