The Snyder Industries 1900 Gallon ASTM Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a polyethylene bulk storage tank built for demanding water and high-density liquid service. Standing 147 inches tall on a 64 x 64 inch footprint, this black Snyder vertical tank holds 1,900 gallons and carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, which is why it lands in the heavy-duty class rather than a general-purpose water tank. That rating is the number to anchor your decision on: it tells you the tank wall is engineered to hold liquids far denser than plain water, and 1.9 is the highest SG rating offered, so if you may ever switch this tank to a denser liquid you won't need a tank upgrade later.
Will it work for your job?
Filled with water, this vertical storage tank carries about 15,846 pounds of contents; at its full 1.9 SG rating it is built to hold up to 30,107 pounds. Use those weights to plan your pad and site loading before delivery. The black polyethylene wall resists UV and algae growth better than translucent tanks, so it suits outdoor storage where you don't need to gauge the level through the wall. At 64 inches in diameter it will not pass through a standard 36-inch doorway, so plan for outdoor placement or a wide equipment opening. Standard fittings shown on the technical drawing on this page include a flange, an 18-inch PE threaded/vented fitting, a manway with 15-inch access, and a fitting flat for clean bulkhead installs. The 15-inch manway access sets the largest tool or fitting you can pass into the tank, so verify your pump drop-pipe, agitator, or level sensor clears 15 inches before ordering. If you are unsure whether 1,900 gallons matches your draw and refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
The mistake to avoid
Don't skip the pad math. A vertical tank this tall concentrates its full contents weight over a 64 x 64 inch base, and a level, engineered concrete pad is what keeps it stable. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the framework. The other install detail people miss is venting: the 18-inch vented fitting must stay clear in service, because a sealed vertical tank being drawn down or filled fast can deform, so confirm the vent path during install. For freeze-prone or fire-reserve applications, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers reservoir sizing and cold-climate protection.
