The Snyder Industries 1500 gallon vertical water storage tank in green stores 1,500 gallons of fresh water in a single high-density linear polyethylene (HDLPE) tank that stands 71 inches tall on an 86 x 86-inch footprint. Built by Snyder Industries at their Marked Tree, Arkansas plant, this is a straightforward bulk water storage tank sized for rural fire reserve, irrigation, hauled-water holding, and well-fed household or stock supply where you need real capacity without a concrete cistern. At 86 inches across, confirm your delivery path and gate or door clearance before you order, because the shell is wider than a standard doorway.
Will it work for your site?
The tank carries a 1.0 specific gravity rating, which means it is engineered for the weight of water and water-density liquids; for heavier chemical service you need a higher-SG-rated tank. Filled to 1,500 gallons of water, the contents weigh 12,510 pounds, and that is also the maximum rated contents weight for this shell. That full-water load is the number that drives your pad: an 86 x 86-inch footprint concentrating more than six tons calls for a level, properly sized base. Walk through the math before you pour using our concrete pad sizing guide, and confirm you have the right gallons for your draw rate with the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide.
Fittings and access
This vertical storage tank comes outfitted for real plumbing. The drawing shows a 2-inch polypropylene bulkhead fitting with an EPDM gasket and a 1-1/2-inch polypropylene Eco bulkhead fitting, also EPDM-sealed; both gaskets are well-matched to ambient water service. Beyond those outlets, a flange and a 9 x 9-inch fitting give you spare access points for a level gauge, an overflow line, or future plumbing tie-ins. Up top it carries an 18-inch polyethylene manway with a 4-inch vent and an integrated tie-down provision. The vented manway matters: as you draw water down, the vent lets air in so the tank breathes instead of pulling a vacuum on the walls, and the tie-down provision lets you anchor the tank for high-wind or code-required restraint. For exact fitting heights and outlet positions, see the technical drawing on this page before you set your stand-pipe or pump plumbing.
Putting it into service
Because this is a water storage tank, the practical commissioning step is a hydrostatic fill check before you trust it. Filling slowly while watching pad settlement and every bulkhead seal catches problems before they become a 12,510-pound surprise. Our hydrostatic test methodology walks through fill discipline and hold-time math. If this tank anchors a rural fire reserve, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection, and reuse projects can route grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate into banded storage with our water reuse topology guide.
This tank ships LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Marked Tree, Arkansas, on a pallet or skid, with freight quoted live to your ZIP code. Run your delivery address through our Freight Cost Estimator for a real number, or call 866-418-1777 and we will work out access, liftgate needs, and delivery timing with you. The one mistake to avoid: do not order until your pad is level and sized for the full 12,510-pound water load, because settling an off-level base under a filled vertical tank is the most common avoidable failure on a job this size.
