12,000 gallons, 1.5 specific gravity, sixteen feet tall
The Snyder 32074 is a white high density linear polyethylene vertical liquid storage tank, 142 inches in diameter and 197 inches tall, that holds 12,000 gallons at 2,482 pounds empty. Its wall is rated for a specific gravity of 1.5, or 150,120 pounds of contents against 100,080 for water, and its outlet is a 3 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting with a 2 inch reducer siphon tube that draws from the floor. A 26 inch threaded, vented manway on top, and a 3 year warranty. A tank this size is a piece of civil engineering, and the notes below are for the engineer specifying it.

Foundation, wind, vent
At its rating this tank loads a 142 inch circle to 150,120 pounds; with water alone it is 100,080. Either number is a reinforced slab designed for the site's soil, level enough that a sixteen foot shell stands plumb, and the empty tank is anchored against wind before the first fill. Fill and draw rates on a 12,000 gallon tank move a lot of air, so the manway vent is sized for them or the fill goes through a dedicated top bulkhead with its own vent line. Instrumentation is a hydrostatic sender at the outlet or radar on the manway, never a routine climb to 197 inches. The tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide settle the volume; at this scale, two smaller tanks on two slabs are sometimes the better plan, and the day tanks that usually accompany a bulk tank are covered in the 2,000 gallon, 500 gallon and 300 gallon vertical tank buyers guides.
The 142 inch family above 10,000 gallons
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32074 (this tank, 1.5 SG) | 12,000 | 142 x 197 in | 2,482 lb |
| 5330000C34 | 10,500 | 142 x 169 in | 2,250 lb |
| 5350000C34 | 12,500 | 142 x 198 in | 3,100 lb |
The 5330000C34 is 28 inches shorter for 1,500 fewer gallons on the same base. The 5350000C34 is the heavy-wall neighbor, 618 more pounds of resin for 500 more gallons at 1 more inch of height, for the liquid that is denser than 1.5 or the site that wants the thickest wall available. The 32074 is the 1.5 rated tank for brine, fertilizer, dilute chemicals and water at plant scale.

Ports and access
- Outlet: 3 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting with a 2 inch reducer siphon tube to the floor; a flanged transition, an expansion joint, and a valve supported off the slab. A siphon outlet needs a pump; it does not gravity-drain below the fitting.
- Access: 26 inch threaded, vented manway, 197 inches up.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
Sixteen feet of head over the outlet fitting is real pressure at the bulkhead; check the nut after the first full fill and never let pipe hang from the fitting. Fill through a dip tube to the floor so a tanker unload does not free-fall and foam, and re-check the vent each season.
Typical duty
Liquid fertilizer and brine at a co-op that takes full tanker loads, dilute treatment chemicals at a plant, and bulk water; as a fire reserve it meets the volumes the fire-water reservoir design guide discusses under NFPA 22 for a commercial site or a small community, with a wall that will outlast a water tank's.
Freight to your ZIP
At 142 inches across and 197 inches long on the deck the 32074 is oversize freight (NMFC 156600) on a flatbed at a lane rate; the freight cost estimator prices the lane to your ZIP, and the listed price is before freight. Book the crane for 2,482 pounds, have the slab cured and surveyed, and plan a staged water fill with a hold at each stage before any product is ordered. A photo of the tank on its pad, full, on day one is worth keeping; it is the baseline every later inspection is compared against.
