The Snyder Industries 1900 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a large-capacity vertical storage tank molded from crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) to an ASTM specification and rated to a 1.9 specific gravity. It measures 119"H x 72"W x 72"L (a 72" diameter footprint) in Natural White, and that 1.9 SG rating is the number to notice first: it means the wall is built to hold contents substantially denser than water. Store plain water and you carry a real safety margin; you can also fill it with fluids up to 1.9 SG. If you only ever store water, a lower-SG tank costs less — choose this heavy-duty build specifically when you need the higher SG rating or want the added wall-thickness margin.
Will it work for your site
Plan your pad and your fill around the weights, not the gallon number. Filled with water, this 1900-gallon vertical tank carries roughly 15,846 lb of contents; at its full 1.9 SG rating the contents alone can reach about 30,107 lb. Add the 72.0" x 72.0" footprint and you can see why a properly sized, level concrete pad matters before anything goes vertical. The concrete pad sizing framework (ACI 360R-10 and the ACI 318 boundary) walks through the load path, and the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm 1900 gallons is the right volume before you commit.
Fittings and access
Per the technical drawing on this page, this tank is configured with a flange fitting, an 18" polyethylene threaded and vented top opening, and a manway with 15" access. The vented top matters on a tank this size: as you draw water down or pump it in, air has to move, and the vent keeps the tank from pulling a vacuum or pressurizing. The 15" manway gives you a real opening for inspection and cleaning. These connections require field-supplied mating flanges, gaskets, and bulkhead or thread fittings sized to the 18" PE threaded opening — confirm the thread size, gasket material, and fitting elevations against the technical drawing shown on this page before you order plumbing.
The mistake to avoid
The common error on a heavy vertical tank like this is treating XLPE and HDPE as interchangeable. Crosslinked polyethylene is a thermoset — it is built for demanding, higher-SG duty and does not behave like standard high-density polyethylene. If you are weighing which resin your application actually needs, Snyder XLPE vs HDPE: when crosslinking matters spells out where the difference earns its keep. The other frequent miss is under-building freeboard on tanks used for reservoir or standby duty; the freeboard sizing per ASTM D1998 guide shows the real usable volume once thermal expansion is accounted for. For rural reservoir or standby storage sizing, the reservoir tank design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection.
One more jobsite note before delivery: never lift or move this tank with contents in it — full water weight alone is about 15,846 lb, so site your forklift or crane access for the empty ~119" vertical piece only. This tank ships LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Chowchilla, CA, with freight quoted live to your ZIP. West Coast buyers get shorter LTL lanes; East Coast buyers should expect longer transit and higher freight from California, so quote to ZIP before committing.
