The Snyder Industries 1200 Gallon ASTM XLPE Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 1830200N42) is a crosslinked polyethylene vertical storage tank built for demanding water and fluid duty. It holds 1,200 gallons in a Natural White body that stands 109 inches tall on a compact 60 x 60 inch footprint, so it fits a tight pad while still delivering serious capacity. The crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) wall carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, the ceiling for this heavy-duty Snyder vertical tank, which is why it handles denser, heavier-than-water contents that a standard tank cannot.
Will it work for your site?
Sizing is where most storage projects go wrong, so plan around real weight. Filled with water, this tank carries roughly 10,008 lb; at its full 1.9 SG rating the contents can reach about 19,015 lb. Two checks matter before you commit. First, confirm your fluid's specific gravity is at or below 1.9, because that rating is the wall's limit, not a suggestion. Second, remember the geometry: 109 inches of height on a 60 x 60 base is a tall, narrow tank at nearly 19,015 lb rated load, so the pad has to be level, continuous, and rated for the full standing weight, and you should plan anchoring against overturning. Run your own numbers with the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you pour, and see our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks for the ACI framework.
Fittings and access
The technical drawing on this page shows three penetrations. The manway with 15-inch access is your inspection and cleaning port. The 18-inch PE threaded and vented fitting is the working top fitting, and a flange rounds out the layout. Each one is a potential leak and chemistry path, so spec your gasket elastomer and any bolt-on flange hardware to the stored fluid before install. The XLPE wall's resistance does not protect a mismatched gasket. If you are weighing crosslinked versus standard polyethylene for your duty, read Snyder XLPE vs HDPE: when crosslinking matters.
The mistake to avoid
The common error on a tall vertical tank like this is treating the 1.9 SG rating as license to skip freeboard and pad math. The rating tells you the wall can carry a dense fluid; it does not excuse an undersized or unlevel foundation, and thermal expansion still needs headroom. For projects that demand true usable volume, see freeboard sizing per ASTM D1998. If this is fire-water or remote-site reserve, our rural fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and freeze protection.
