The Snyder Industries 13,800 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is built at the Snyder plant in Washington Court House, OH, and rotationally molded in white polyethylene for high-volume water and liquid handling. It carries an ASTM-rated specific gravity of 1.4, stands 184 inches tall (15.3 feet) on a 165 x 165 inch footprint (13.75 feet square), and holds 13,800 gallons. If you are sizing a bulk reservoir, a fire-water supply, or an industrial process feed, this is the spec sheet that answers whether it fits your site, how it ships, and what to verify before you pour the pad.
Will it work for your site?
This vertical storage tank holds 13,800 gallons at a 1.4 specific gravity rating, meaning the wall is engineered for liquids up to 1.4 times the density of water. Filled with plain water at SG 1.0, contents weigh roughly 115,092 pounds; loaded to the tank's maximum rated content weight, that climbs to 161,129 pounds. Those numbers drive everything underneath the tank. Run your draw rate and refill cycle through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm the capacity matches your demand. Plan site access for both dimensions, not just height: this is a tank standing over 15 feet tall on a footprint nearly 14 feet square, so the delivery path and pad area both have to clear it.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this size is sizing the foundation and the SG rating to water when the actual service liquid is heavier. The 1.4 specific gravity rating is a ceiling, not a recommendation: if your liquid exceeds 1.4 SG, this is the wrong wall thickness and you need a higher-rated Snyder vertical, which we can spec on the phone. Build the pad to the load the pack actually defines: the concrete has to carry the 161,129-pound maximum rated contents load, and dry tank weight is additional and not listed in this listing data, so confirm it from the technical drawing or by phone before you finalize the foundation. Walk the concrete pad sizing framework before construction. Do not skip freeboard either: for applications subject to ASTM D1998 sizing logic, thermal expansion and density both eat into the volume you can actually use, covered in our guide on freeboard sizing per ASTM D1998. For long-term reliability, the wall at the vapor-saturated headspace is where premature polyethylene failures originate, detailed in our wall-thickness inspection guide. If this is a rural or remote fire-water reservoir, our NFPA 22 reservoir design guide covers sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection.
Fittings and verification
The fitting configuration for this tank, including inlet, outlet, manway or lid, and vent positions and sizes, is not published in this listing data. Confirm the full fitting layout against the technical drawing on this page, or call us before you set your plumbing, so the layout is locked before delivery rather than discovered on the pad.
Freight and ordering
This tank ships LTL from the Snyder plant in Washington Court House, OH, freight quoted live to your ZIP. At this size and weight, freight is a structural part of the project budget, so run your delivery address through the Freight Cost Estimator for a real number before you commit, or call 866-418-1777 and we will walk the quote, the offload logistics, and a higher-SG option if your service liquid needs one.
