The Snyder Industries 1900 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank (Snyder model 1780200N48) is a crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) tank built for demanding bulk water and dense-liquid storage. It is rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, the top of Snyder's XLPE range, so it holds contents heavier than water without the wall stress that would cut the service life of a standard-density tank, and there is no need to step up to a heavier-duty version for denser liquids. This is the black vertical storage tank to reach for when plain-water ratings will not cover your duty.
Will it work for your site?
This is a black, 1900-gallon vertical tank standing 119 inches tall on a 72 x 72-inch footprint. The black resin resists UV and algae growth, which matters for the outdoor bulk-water and fire-reserve service this tank is sized for. That square base and the specs on the technical drawing on this page let you confirm clearance and pad size before you commit. Filled with water it carries roughly 15,846 lbs, and its 1.9 SG rating allows a maximum contents weight near 30,107 lbs. Across the 72 x 72-inch base that is about 5.8 lbs per square inch of bearing load, so plan the foundation to that figure and to the actual density of what you are storing. For a level, load-rated base, walk through concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks, and use the Tank Sizing Calculator or the Tank Sizing Guide to match capacity to your draw and refill cycle.
Fittings and access
Per the technical drawing, this tank is configured with a flange, an 18-inch PE threaded and vented fitting, and a manway with 15-inch access for inspection and cleaning. The flange connection requires a compatible gasket and bolt kit, and the threaded port needs appropriate thread sealant, none of which are assumed in the box. Confirm the fitting and manway layout against the drawing on this page before you plumb the site, since inlet, outlet, and vent placement drive your manifold design. Call 866-418-1777 to match fittings and gaskets to your manifold.
Why XLPE, and why 1.9 SG
Crosslinking gives this tank greater environmental-stress-crack resistance than a comparable HDPE tank, which is why Snyder rates it to a 1.9 specific gravity. Whether that crosslinking actually matters for your duty is worth understanding before you buy, so read Snyder XLPE vs HDPE: when crosslinking matters. For fire-reserve and rural water-supply planning at this volume, fire-water reservoir tank design for rural sites covers the sizing discipline.
