The Snyder Industries 1900 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank holds 1,900 gallons of water or process fluid in a black, crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) body rated to a 1.9 specific gravity. It stands 147 inches tall on a 64-inch diameter, occupying a 64" x 64" footprint square for pad layout. The black XLPE wall is the heavy-duty configuration Snyder builds for a 1.9-SG rating, giving a tougher, more impact- and stress-crack-resistant wall than standard HDPE. Filled with water it carries roughly 15,846 pounds, and at its full 1.9 SG rating it can hold up to about 30,107 pounds of contents — which is exactly why the foundation matters as much as the tank.
Will it work for your site?
The 1.9 specific-gravity rating means this vertical storage tank is built for dense liquids, not just water at 1.0 SG. If you are storing plain water, you have significant headroom in the wall structure. Per the technical drawing on this page, the tank comes configured with a flange, an 18-inch PE threaded/vented fitting, a manway with 15-inch access, and a flat fitting area. The manway with 15-inch access is your service and cleanout port for inspection and interior work, while the 18-inch PE threaded/vented fitting handles venting. Confirm the flange, the 18-inch threaded/vented fitting, the manway, and the flat fitting location all match your plumbing — and check gasket compatibility at the manway and threaded fitting against your fluid — before you order, since a vertical this tall is not something you want to re-fit in the field. If you are unsure the capacity fits your draw-down and refill cycle, run the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide. Storing a fluid above 1.0 SG changes the usable volume you can actually plan on — our guide to freeboard sizing per ASTM D1998 for thermal expansion and density walks through it.
Foundation and the mistake to avoid
The biggest error on a tank this size is an under-built or unlevel base. That 64" x 64" footprint carries up to about 30,107 pounds of contents at full 1.9 SG rating — roughly 938 pounds per square foot of bearing load — so the pad and the soil beneath it must be rated accordingly. A 147-inch column of liquid demands a full, flat, continuously supported pad: no bridging, no point loads, no partial ring. Undersize it and you invite stress at the base knuckle. For the engineering framework on getting the pad right, see our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks under the ACI 360R-10 framework. If you are weighing crosslinked against standard polyethylene for your duty, our write-up on Snyder XLPE vs HDPE and when crosslinking matters explains the tradeoff, and for rural fire-water reservoirs the NFPA 22 sizing discipline guide covers how a tank this size fits the private fire-protection stack.
Freight
This tank ships LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Philippi, West Virginia, quoted live to your ZIP — a 1,900-gallon vertical is an oversized freight item, so the rate depends on your destination and delivery access. Get your number in seconds with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call our team at 866-418-1777 to talk through offload, liftgate access, and lead time. We will make sure the tank, the fittings, and the freight are right before anything leaves West Virginia.
