The Snyder Industries 1900 Gallon ASTM Black Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 8300000N49) is a heavy-duty polyethylene vertical storage tank built for bulk water and higher-density liquids. It stands 147 inches tall on a 64 x 64 inch round footprint, so confirm both your pad size and overhead clearance before it arrives. The black polyethylene wall resists UV degradation and suppresses algae growth better than translucent tanks, which is why crews specify a black tank for outdoor water storage that sits in full sun.
Will it work for your site?
This vertical tank carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, meaning the wall is engineered to hold contents up to 1.5 times the density of water. That rating is itself a step up over standard 1.0 to 1.35 water tanks: one Snyder unit can cover water storage, fire-water reserve, and denser process liquids without being pushed past its limit. Filled with water at roughly 8.34 lb per gallon, 1900 gallons weighs about 15,846 lb, and the tank is rated to carry contents up to 23,769 lb at full 1.5 SG loading. Design the pad and anchoring to that 23,769 lb figure, not the water weight, if you intend to store anything denser than water. If you are still deciding on capacity, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and read the Tank Sizing Guide so the foundation and pump are sized to the real filled weight, not just the gallons. For grey-water, rainwater, or condensate aggregation, our industrial water reuse tank topology guide covers how a bulk vertical tank fits a reuse-capable storage train.
Fittings and access
Per the technical drawing on this page, this vertical tank is configured with a bolted flange, an 18-inch polyethylene threaded and vented lid, a manway with a 15-inch access opening, and a flat fitting pad for adding an outlet where you need it. The 15-inch manway lets you reach inside for interior inspection, tank cleaning, and gasket or fitting service — a real advantage on a water or fire-water tank that has to be maintained over its life. The bolted flange gives you a gasketed, serviceable outlet connection rather than a field-drilled hole in the flat pad; flange and bulkhead fittings ship with gaskets sized to the port, so confirm the gasket material suits your fluid before you plumb it. The vented lid matters at this size: it lets the tank breathe as levels rise and fall so you never draw a vacuum or over-pressurize during fast fill or draw-down. Always confirm the fitting locations and sizes against the drawing before you set the plumbing.
Foundation and freeboard
A tall vertical storage tank like this needs a level, full-diameter foundation rated for the loaded weight. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework, and if this is going into a rural fire-water role, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection.
