The Snyder Industries 1900 Gallon ASTM Black Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 1780200N49) is a polyethylene vertical tank built for bulk water and general liquid storage where you need real capacity in a compact footprint. It stands 119 inches tall on a 72 x 72 inch base, so it holds 1,900 gallons of water, roughly 15,846 lb standing on a 6-foot square pad, while occupying that same 72 x 72 inch footprint. Molded to ASTM standards in black polyethylene, the black wall blocks light to discourage algae growth in stored water, making it a practical black tank choice for rainwater collection, fire-water reservoirs, irrigation supply, and industrial process and reuse water.
Will it work for your site?
This vertical storage tank carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, meaning the wall is engineered for liquids up to 1.5 times the weight of water. Plan your pad and connections around real loaded weight: full of water at 8.34 lb/gal, the contents alone come to roughly 15,846 lb, and at the full 1.5 SG rating the rated contents reach about 23,769 lb. That is a heavy standing load, so a level, engineered pad is not optional. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm this 1900-gallon vertical is the right size before you commit, the concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI framework for above-ground poly tanks, and the freeboard and density sizing guide per ASTM D1998 covers thermal expansion and the real usable volume when you run near a density rating.
Fittings and access
Per the technical drawing on this page, this tank is configured with a flange, an 18-inch polyethylene threaded and vented lid, and a manway with 15-inch access for interior inspection and cleaning. The vented lid matters on any closed water tank so the tank can breathe as you fill and draw down. Confirm the fitting locations against the technical drawing before you plumb inlet and outlet lines, and call 866-418-1777 to confirm the flange size and any gasket or bulkhead requirements, since those exact details are not carried in the listed data.
The mistake to avoid
Do not under-build the foundation or treat the 1.5 SG rating as a target rather than a ceiling. If you are storing anything denser than water, verify it stays within the 1.5 rating and that black polyethylene suits the service. Plan delivery around size too: at 119 inches, this tank stands close to 10 feet tall, so check door and overhead clearance at the site and expect it may need special offloading equipment when the LTL truck arrives. For fire-protection storage, size the reservoir to your demand and freeze strategy first, covered in our fire-water reservoir design guide. For grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate reuse trains, our industrial water reuse topology guide covers where a tank like this fits.
