A low, wide 1200 gallon black heavy duty tank for rooms without headroom
The Snyder Industries 32064-BLACK is a 1200 gallon vertical storage tank in black polyethylene, 86 inches in diameter and only 56.5 inches tall, weighing 426 lb empty. The wall is heavy duty, rated for liquids up to 1.9 specific gravity, meaning liquids up to 1.9 times the weight of water. On top is a 20 inch threaded vented manway; the outlet is a 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting with a siphon tube. 1,200 gallons of water weighs 10,008 lb (1,200 x 8.34); at the full 1.9 rating the contents reach about 19,015 lb. The service limit is 120 F. Our listing for this part carries no warranty term, so ask us before you rely on one. The black wall keeps light out, which slows algae and protects liquids that break down in sunlight.

Why a short 1200 gallon tank
The shape is the point. At 56.5 inches tall, the manway sits at about chest height, so an operator can fill, look inside and clean from the floor without a ladder or a platform. It fits under a low roof, a mezzanine, a canopy or a shed where a taller tank of the same volume will not. The trade is floor space: an 86 inch circle, so measure the doorway or the opening you have to bring it through, as well as the room itself.
The heavy duty wall matters for dense solutions; plain water does not need it. Polyethylene suits water, most fertilizers and many common chemicals, but check the liquid in our chemical compatibility guide and keep it under 120 F. Full at the rating, about 19,015 lb bears on the floor of the tank, so the base must be level, flat and in full contact; our concrete pad sizing guide covers the slab. For water storage, read the fire water reservoir guide for rural sites and the water reuse storage guide. Check the volume with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide.
Openings and fittings
- Manway. A 20 inch threaded vented manway on top: wide enough to fill from a hose or a pump, drop in a float and reach in to clean.
- Outlet. A 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting with a siphon tube, which lets the outlet draw liquid from low in the tank. Your valve threads straight into the fitting; support the valve and the first length of pipe on their own.
- Level. A black wall hides the liquid line, so plan on a gauge if you need to read it from the floor.
- Drawing. A Snyder drawing for the 32064 shell is linked under Technical Drawing on this page; use it for fitting positions and clearances.
