1,500 gallons, 72 inches tall, with the bulkhead outlet already fitted
The Snyder 1770000C26 is a white high density linear polyethylene chemical storage tank, 86 inches in diameter and 72 inches tall, holding 1,500 gallons at 260 pounds empty. Its wall is rated for a specific gravity of 1.9, which puts the maximum contents at 23,769 pounds against 12,510 for water, and it ships with a 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting at the outlet and an 18 inch lid on top. It is the low profile 1,500 gallon tank for a chemical room with a six foot ceiling and a seven foot circle of floor.

Low profile in a chemical room
A bulk chemical tank is filled from a tanker hose or a tote pump and drawn down by dosing pumps, and both jobs are easier when the manway is at chest height and the outlet is near the floor. At 72 inches tall the 1770000C26 keeps every fitting reachable without a ladder and keeps the center of gravity low, which is what a tank of dense liquid on a mezzanine or a trailer needs. The trade is the 86 inch pad, which must be level and in full contact under the whole tank, because 23,769 pounds at the rating is a lot of load on a resin floor. Size the volume with the tank sizing calculator from feed rate and delivery interval, and check the resin against the chemical and its concentration in the chemical compatibility database; the short list below is what the resin is rated for, and the tank sizing guide covers the reserve to keep between deliveries. The chemistries most often put in this tank are sodium hypochlorite, sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid; each of those pages gives the resin rating by concentration and temperature, and hypochlorite in particular is the one where a linear-resin tank is a consumable and the cross-linked N42 in the table is the durable buy.
Same tank, other resins
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1770000C26 (this tank) | 1,500 | 86 x 72 in | 260 lb |
| 1770000N45 | 1,500 | 86 x 72 in | 260 lb |
| 1770000N42 (XLPE) | 1,500 | 86 x 72 in | 260 lb |
| 1770000N48 | 1,500 | 86 x 72 in | 260 lb |
| 1830400N40 | 1,300 | 72 x 87 in | 290 lb |
The first four rows are one mold: the C26 with its factory polypropylene bulkhead, the N45 as the plain linear-resin version, the N42 in cross-linked polyethylene for oxidizers and heat, and the N48 as another resin option in the same shell. All weigh 260 pounds and all stand 72 inches tall, so a containment basin or a pad built for one takes any of them. The 1830400N40 is the narrower, taller alternative: 1,300 gallons at 87 inches on a 72 inch base.

Access and outlet
- Outlet: 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting at the bottom of the sidewall, factory installed.
- Access: 18 inch lid on top.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
Polypropylene is the right bulkhead material for most treatment chemicals, and the female NPT thread takes a PVC or CPVC adapter straight to the pipe; put an expansion joint in the first run and support the valve off the floor, not the tank. For level, the level gauge selection guide matches the sender to the chemical; a 72 inch range suits any of them. Where the chemical is one a spill plan covers, the Snyder Captor 110 percent containment comparison shows when a double wall tank beats a berm around an 86 inch footprint.
Put to use
Treatment chemical bulk storage at water and wastewater plants, reagent storage on a process floor, and fertilizer or brine on the farm, wherever 1,500 gallons has to fit under a low roof. A white tank shows its level in daylight, which is useful in a shed and useless in a pump room; plan the gauge either way. Keep the tank out of direct sun where the chemical is light-sensitive, and if the room is unheated, remember that a freezing solution expands against a wall that is not designed for ice.
How it ships
The 1770000C26 ships palletized as LTL freight (NMFC 156600-01), at a class rate the freight cost estimator gives for your ZIP; the listed price is before freight. Two people take 260 pounds off a liftgate with a pallet jack. Thread the outlet adapter in with a compatible sealant, fill the tank with water to the lid and hold it, then drain and dry it before the first chemical goes in.
