The Snyder Industries 15000 Gallon XLPE Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 5370000N40) is a crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) vertical storage tank built for high-volume bulk water and rated-density liquid storage. It holds 15,000 gallons in a Natural White shell that stands 234 inches tall on a 143 x 143 inch square footprint. It carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, so where a standard water tank is built around roughly 1.0 contents, this one is rated to hold liquids up to 1.5 times the density of water without exceeding its structural envelope.
Will it work for your site?
Sizing is the first thing to get right on a tank this large. Filled with water, the contents alone weigh 125,100 lb, and at the tank's full 1.5 SG rating the contents can reach 187,650 lb. Those numbers drive your foundation: a footprint this size needs a properly engineered, level concrete pad rated for the loaded weight, not a gravel bed. Our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI framework for above-ground polyethylene tanks, and the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm this vertical tank fits your throughput and clearance. At 234 inches (19.5 ft) tall, plan overhead and door clearance for both delivery offloading and fill-pipe routing before the tank arrives.
Fittings and access
Per the technical drawing on this page, this Snyder vertical tank comes configured with a bolt-up flange, a 12" x 26" fitting, an 18" PE threaded/vented fitting, a manway with 15" access, and a flat fitting landing. The 15" figure is the manway access opening, which gates whether a person or equipment can enter for interior cleaning and inspection, so plan your access needs around that dimension. The vented threaded fitting supports the airflow a large-volume fill-and-draw cycle demands. Fitting compatibility depends on matching gaskets and seals sized to each penetration, and gaskets are a separate spec you should confirm for your inlet, outlet, and vent connections. Verify all penetration locations against the drawing before you set the tank, since relocating fittings on a molded XLPE tank is not a field operation.
Common applications
This is a workhorse for bulk water storage, XLPE storage duty, and large-volume vertical tank installations. It suits fire-water reservoir service where a rural or remote site needs stored suppression volume; our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection. It also fits industrial water reuse and banded-storage trains where grey water, rainwater, and condensate are aggregated.
