The Snyder Industries 1100 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank holds 1,100 gallons of water in a sturdy white polyethylene shell with an 86 x 86 inch round footprint. It is a true water storage tank rated for a specific gravity of 1.0, which is exactly what clean water needs and the spec to check before you put anything heavier inside it. Filled to capacity, the contents weigh 9,174 pounds, so the pad and tie-downs under it have to carry that load whether the tank serves a fire-water reservoir, a rainwater catchment train, or a vertical storage tank in an industrial water-reuse loop. Freight is quoted live to your ZIP from whichever Snyder plant is nearest you, so an eastern buyer pulls from West Virginia rather than Nebraska.
Will it work for your site
The 86 x 86 inch round footprint is the number to bring to your site plan, and the low, wide profile gives this vertical storage tank a forgiving center of gravity to anchor on a concrete pad or compacted base. The full-water weight of 9,174 pounds is also the maximum rated contents weight, since the 1.0 specific gravity rating means the shell is sized for water and water-equivalent liquids. Note that the linked buyer's guides for this family reference an 87-inch overall height while the spec block here reads 53 inches at the wall, so confirm the exact dimension against the technical drawing on this page before you finalize a site plan or order a cover. If you are unsure which capacity and height fit your draw rate and refill cycle, the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide walk through the math, and the full 1100-gallon vertical buyer's guide covers the family in depth.
The mistake to avoid
The single most common error with a water-rated tank is putting a denser liquid in it. This shell carries a 1.0 specific gravity rating, meaning it is engineered for the weight of water. Make the check actionable: your liquid's gallons multiplied by 8.34 pounds per gallon multiplied by its specific gravity must stay at or under the 9,174-pound rated ceiling. A heavier fluid puts more stress on the walls than the 1.0 rating allows, so keep this tank to water and water-weight service, and size the pad and outlet plumbing to the spec on the technical drawing on this page rather than guessing from the catalog photo.
Fittings and outlet plumbing
Plumb the tank to the inlet and outlet locations shown on the technical drawing on this page; match any bulkhead fitting and gasket to the outlet size called out there before you order plumbing. If you have a question on the right fitting and gasket for your draw, call 866-418-1777 and we will confirm it against the drawing for this exact tank.
Common uses
This size lands in the sweet spot for several jobs. For rural and remote fire protection, see the guide on fire-water reservoir tank design and NFPA 22 sizing. For grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate aggregation, the industrial water-reuse tank topology guide shows where a vertical storage tank like this fits in a quality-banded water storage train.
