Snyder Industries 120 Gallon ASTM XLPE Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

A day tank, a batch tank, a reserve

A 120 gallon tank is the size people buy to hold a working supply close to where it is used: a day tank feeding a dosing pump, a batch tank for mixing, a reserve of water beside a sink or a wash station, or a top-up supply for a sprayer. This one stands 51 inches tall on a 34 inch circle, so the top is around chest height and easy to fill and look into, and the footprint fits beside a bench or against a wall.

What makes it heavy duty is the cross-linked wall and the 1.9 specific gravity rating. It will take liquids nearly twice as dense as water, and cross-linked polyethylene is the resin Snyder uses for harder chemistry; our piece on when cross-linking matters for chemistry duty sets out the reasons. If you are storing something other than water, check it in our chemical compatibility guide before you order and keep it at or below 140 F. Ask us if the liquid is not listed.

Natural white means you can see the level through the wall from across the room, which helps when the tank feeds a pump that must not run dry. It also lets light through, so water in direct sun will grow algae; keep potable water indoors or shaded., and we can send the listing paperwork on request.

What to check before you buy

1. The base. Flat, level, and in contact with the whole bottom. Full of a dense liquid it is close to a ton. Our concrete pad sizing guide covers outdoor slabs.
2. Openings. No outlet or manway size is stated for this tank here. Tell us the pipe or hose size and what it connects to, and we will confirm the openings from Snyder's drawing before it ships.
3. Restraint. At 50 lb empty it moves easily, so strap it to a wall or frame before the first fill.
4. Drawing. Snyder's drawing for 5700100N42 is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

The tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide help you check whether 120 gallons is enough between fills.
