The Snyder Industries 150 Gallon ASTM Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 5710100N51) is a 150-gallon black polyethylene vertical storage tank built to an ASTM heavy-duty standard, with a 1.9 specific gravity rating that gives it real headroom for dense contents. It stands 61 inches tall on a compact 34 x 34-inch footprint, so it fits tight equipment pads, pump houses, and corners where floor space is scarce but you still want meaningful storage volume.

Will it work for your site?
At 150 gallons, a full load of water weighs roughly 1,251 pounds, and the tank's 1.9 SG rating supports contents up to about 2,377 pounds. That rating is the point of a heavy-duty vertical: 1.9 SG means it is built for liquids up to 1.9 times the density of water, not just a water-only vessel. Confirm your pad and anchoring can carry that loaded weight on the 34 x 34-inch footprint. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match volume, footprint, and weight to your space, and because this is an ASTM-standard Snyder tank, the guide on freeboard sizing per ASTM D1998 explains how usable volume differs from nameplate capacity. For fittings, the technical drawing on this page shows a flange, a 14-inch polyethylene threaded/vented fitting, and a manway with an 11-3/8-inch access opening.
Heavy-duty vertical build
This is a true vertical storage tank, not a stock or transport vessel. The polyethylene wall and 1.9 SG rating make it a durable choice for water storage, rainwater capture, and general above-ground bulk storage where a taller, narrow profile beats a wide low tank. If you're planning a concrete base, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework for supporting a loaded vertical tank, and our water reuse tank topology guide covers grey-water, rainwater, and condensate storage trains.
The mistake to avoid
Don't undersize your foundation or skip anchoring on a 61-inch-tall tank. A narrow vertical carries its weight high, so a loaded 150-gallon black tank — up to about 2,377 pounds at its max rated contents — on an unlevel or underbuilt pad is the most common install problem. Level the base fully and support the entire 34 x 34-inch footprint. On plumbing, don't assume a standard bulkhead: confirm your gasket and fitting thread match the flange and the 14-inch PE threaded/vented port shown on the drawing, and check that the 11-3/8-inch manway access opening clears whatever you need to drop through it for fill, pump, or cleanout access.
