The Snyder Industries 190 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 1540400N48) is a black, crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) vertical tank built for heavy-duty water and liquid storage. It stands 47 inches tall on a compact 42-inch-diameter footprint (it fits inside a 42 x 42 in. square), so it holds a full 190 gallons in a tight floor space. The XLPE wall and 1.9 specific gravity rating are what separate this Snyder vertical tank from a light-duty water-only drum: it is rated to carry contents up to roughly 1.9 times the density of water, giving you real structural margin on a straightforward water or process storage job.
Will it work for your job?
Sizing is the first thing to get right. Filled with water, this tank carries about 1,585 pounds of contents, and the wall is rated to hold contents up to roughly 3,011 pounds at its 1.9 specific gravity limit. That headroom is the point of a crosslinked tank — you are not running the wall to its limit on plain water, so a denser make-up like a water-treatment brine has margin. Confirm your stand or pad is sized for the full loaded weight, not the empty tank. Use our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to match this vertical storage tank to your draw rate and refill cycle before you commit.
XLPE vs. HDPE — why the crosslink matters
This is an ASTM crosslinked (XLPE) tank, not standard HDPE. Crosslinking builds impact and environmental-stress-crack resistance into the wall, which is why it carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating rather than the lower ratings typical of a single-wall HDPE water tank. If you are weighing the two, read Snyder XLPE vs HDPE so you specify the right wall for your duty. Fitting and outlet placement are configured per order — confirm your bulkhead size and gasket material by phone at 866-418-1777 before you plumb it.
Mounting and pad
A vertical tank this tall and this heavy when full needs a flat, fully supporting base. Pour or verify a level pad that carries the entire footprint — no point loading, no overhang — and plan for up to about 1,585 lb of water (3,011 lb at the 1.9 SG maximum) sitting on it. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework so the slab under your storage tank is right the first time.
The empty tank ships light, but as a larger vertical tank it travels LTL freight by truck, not parcel — out of the Snyder plant in Merced, California, quoted live to your ZIP code.
