The Snyder Industries 15,000 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 3030100C26) is a natural white polyethylene vertical storage tank built for large-scale bulk water and liquid holding where footprint discipline and load rating matter. It stands 184 inches (15.33 ft) tall on a 165 x 165 inch footprint (13.75 ft square), so confirm your pad and overhead clearance first: allow well over 15.33 ft of door, roof, or fill-access headroom above the pad for lid entry and fill-line drop before the truck arrives.
Will this tank work for your site?
At 15,000 gallons, this is a large vertical storage tank rated to 1.9 specific gravity, meaning the shell is engineered to hold liquids up to about 1.9 times the weight of water at full volume without derating capacity. That is the highest-density service in this shell, and it is the number to weigh against cheaper 1.0 to 1.5 SG verticals when you cross-shop. Filled with plain water it carries roughly 125,100 pounds of contents; at 1.9 SG the rated contents weight reaches about 237,690 pounds. Those figures are the SG load ceiling for the liquid, not a foundation bearing spec, and they are why the pad matters most on a tank this size. If you are still confirming volume against your draw and refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide.
Fittings and access
The tank comes configured with a 24-inch PE threaded and vented top opening plus a manway with 22-inch access for interior inspection and cleanout. See the technical drawing on this page for exact fitting locations and elevations before you set piping. Confirm the threaded fitting and manway lid seat against their gaskets, and match any additional bulkhead fittings with gaskets sized to the port, so no piping gets set against a dry seal. This vertical storage tank suits rainwater capture, fire-water reserve, and industrial water reuse programs; for a reservoir role, our fire-water reservoir design guide (NFPA 22 sizing) and our industrial water reuse topology guide cover integration into a larger storage train.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this large is underbuilding the foundation. A 237,690-pound rated liquid load is not a job for gravel and good intentions. The shell needs continuous, uniform support across the full 165 x 165 inch footprint, and any settling or point loading on a vertical of this height concentrates stress at the base knuckle. Confirm your pad design with our concrete pad sizing guide (ACI 360R-10 framework) before you fill. If secondary containment is on the table for a bulk vertical this size, our Snyder Captor double-wall freeboard guide (ASTM D1998) frames the single-wall versus double-wall decision.
