Snyder Industries 120 Gallon ASTM XLPE Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

A stocky shape for 120 gallons

At 34 inches across and 51 inches tall, this tank is nearly as wide as it is high. That keeps the weight low, so it stands steady on a pad outdoors, on a shop floor or inside a containment basin, and the top sits around chest height for filling and inspection without a ladder. If floor space is tighter than headroom, a narrower, taller tank may suit you better; if you need the top within easy reach, this shape does it.

Cross-linked polyethylene, XLPE, is the wall. Its polymer chains are bonded together during moulding, which makes it tougher and more resistant to stress cracking than standard polyethylene and gives a 140 F service limit here. Read our guide to when cross-linking matters for chemical duty before you decide you need it. The 1.9 rating covers liquids almost twice the weight of water; check the liquid in our chemical compatibility guide first.

Black stops light. That protects liquids that degrade in sunlight and keeps algae out of stored water, which makes it a sound choice for a small outdoor water reserve. The rural water reserve and freeze protection guide covers keeping a tank usable through winter. Black also hides the level and warms in summer sun, so plan a gauge and shade.

What to check before you buy

1. The base. Nearly a ton of dense liquid on a 34 inch circle needs a flat, level surface touching the whole bottom. Our concrete pad sizing guide explains why.
2. The openings. No outlet or manway size is listed for this tank on this page. Tell us the connections you need and we will confirm them from Snyder's drawing before it ships.
3. Freeze. Outdoors in a cold climate, a full tank that freezes solid can damage fittings. Plan for drain-down or insulation before winter.
4. The drawing. Snyder's drawing for 5700100N48 is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

ASTM in the name is Snyder's heavy duty designation; no ASTM standard number is listed for this tank here, so if your specification names one, ask us for Snyder's written confirmation. Size the volume with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 300 from Marked Tree, Arkansas, 34 by 34 by 51 inches and 50 lb. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the cost to your ZIP. At the tailgate, check the part number against 5700100N48 on the bill of lading, look the wall and base over for transit damage, and note any damage on the paperwork before you sign. Fill it with water first, leave it a day, and check the base and every connection before it carries anything else.
