The Snyder Industries 1900 Gallon ASTM XLPE Black Vertical Storage Tank is built from crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) for bulk water and higher-density liquid storage. It stands 147 inches tall on a 64 x 64 inch footprint, holding a nominal 1,900 gallons in a black wall. The crosslinked resin and a 1.5 specific-gravity rating give this vertical storage tank real headroom over the 1.0 SG of plain water, so it handles denser contents without running to the edge of its design envelope.
Will it work for your site?
Plan the pad and the plumbing around real numbers. Filled with water, this tank carries roughly 15,846 pounds; at its full 1.5 SG rating the contents can reach about 23,769 pounds. That load rides on a 64 x 64 inch base, so engineer the pad for the 23,769 lb rated maximum, not the 15,846 lb water figure — undersized or uneven support is the most common way a large vertical tank gets damaged. It is also a 147-inch-tall unit that ships and stands upright, so confirm overhead clearance at the install point. Run your volume and drawdown through the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide, and if the tank sits on a poured base, the concrete pad sizing framework (ACI 360R-10) walks through the load path.
Fittings and access
The technical drawing on this page shows the outlet flange, an 18-inch PE threaded/vented top fitting that serves as the fill and vent path, a manway with a 15-inch access opening for inspection and interior work, and a flat fitting pad. That 15-inch manway governs how much reach you have for interior service, so plan cleaning and inspection around it. The flange and the manway are the two gasketed sealing points on this tank — torque both to the drawing so they seat correctly, and confirm vent placement before you set piping, since the vent matters for a tank filling and draining at this volume. If this reservoir feeds a rural fire-protection stack, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and freeze protection.
The mistake to avoid
Do not treat the 1.5 SG rating as a license to ignore the pad or the fittings. The crosslinked wall is strong, but the weight it transmits — up to about 23,769 pounds — has to land on properly rated support and correctly torqued connections. Size for the actual liquid you are storing, not just the gallon number.
