The Snyder Industries 1200 Gallon ASTM Black Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 1830200N49) is a polyethylene vertical built for bulk water and general liquid storage, and it carries a full 1.5 specific-gravity rating. That is the top of the rating scale here, and it is higher than many black verticals that stop at 1.0 to 1.35 SG, so the wall gives you real headroom if you later hold a denser fluid without changing tanks. It stands 109 inches tall on a 60 x 60 inch footprint, so confirm both the pad and any overhead clearance against that height before you set a location. The black wall blocks light, which helps limit algae growth in water service compared with translucent tanks.
Will this tank work for your site?
Filled with water the load is roughly 10,008 lb; at the full 1.5 SG rating the contents can reach about 15,012 lb. That loaded weight, not the gallon count, is what your foundation has to carry, so size the base for the heaviest condition. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to match this vertical storage tank's volume and 60 x 60 inch footprint to your layout.
Fittings and access
Per the technical drawing on this page, this tank includes a flange fitting, an 18-inch polyethylene threaded, vented port (a large threaded lid/vent), and a manway with 15-inch access for interior reach during cleaning and inspection. The flange is not drop-in plumbing: confirm the mating gasket and bolt pattern sized to that flange before you connect to it, and verify all three ports against the drawing elevations so your inlet, outlet, and vent runs do not conflict with the manway or the vented port.
One thing to get right
The most common mistake on a tank this tall is under-building the base. A 109-inch vertical carrying up to about 15,012 lb needs a level, full-diameter pad; a partially supported or out-of-level base concentrates stress on the floor knuckle. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework. For fire-reserve or reuse duty, see our notes on fire-water reservoir design and industrial water reuse tank topology. If your application is code-driven or needs secondary containment, review Snyder Captor double-wall freeboard sizing for double-wall options.
This Snyder black vertical ships LTL freight from a single plant in Chowchilla, CA, quoted live to your ZIP. West Coast and Southwest destinations get the best rates on this tank; East Coast buyers should expect longer, costlier LTL because it originates from that one California plant, so quote your ZIP early with our Freight Cost Estimator or call 866-418-1777 to confirm access, fittings, and lead time before you order.
