The Snyder Industries 190 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a 47-inch-tall white polyethylene tank built on a compact 42 x 42-inch footprint, molded to ASTM D1998 and rated to a 1.9 specific gravity. If you are sizing a vertical storage tank for water service and want to know exactly what it holds, how it ships, and what to watch for before you order, here is the straight answer.
Does it work for your job?
This is a 190-gallon vertical tank in HDPE, 47 inches high and 42 inches across in both directions, so it stands upright on a 42 x 42-inch base and needs roughly that much pad area plus clearance for fittings and a level surface. Filled with water it carries about 1,585 pounds of contents; to size your foundation correctly, add the tank's empty weight (confirm it on the technical drawing on this page) to that figure rather than designing the pad to water load alone. The 1.9 specific gravity rating is the standout number here: it means the wall is engineered to hold liquids up to 1.9 times the density of water, and at that maximum density the contents alone can reach roughly 3,011 pounds. For plain water that is significant overbuild headroom, so the same shell handles dense liquids well beyond water. If you are unsure whether 190 gallons fits your draw-and-refill cycle, run the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide.
Fittings and outlet locations
Fitting and outlet sizes and positions for this tank are shown on the technical drawing on this page. Confirm bulkhead and gasket sizing against that drawing before you order any plumbing, or call 866-418-1777 and we will verify the configuration with you before the tank ships.
How it ships
This Snyder vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from the Merced, California plant, quoted live to your ZIP code. A West Coast origin means freight scales with distance, so East Coast and Midwest ZIPs will see higher LTL than nearby California deliveries. Because that number depends so heavily on your location, we do not bury it in the list price. Pull an exact figure in seconds with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it for you.
The mistake to avoid
The spec people overlook on a vertical storage tank is wall thickness at the top. HDPE tanks are tapered, thinnest near the vapor-saturated headspace at the top of the wall, and that is exactly where premature failures tend to start even when the liquid-side surface still looks fine. Before you put any tank into long-term service, it is worth understanding the ASTM D1998 wall-thickness and inspection logic behind it. Confirm dimensions and outlet locations against the technical drawing on this page before you build a pad or cut plumbing, and if you are setting this tank on a concrete foundation, our guide to concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework for a base that will carry a full 190-gallon load without cracking or settling.
