The Snyder Industries 1900 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a heavy-wall white polyethylene vertical storage tank carrying ASTM certification, rated to a 1.9 specific gravity and standing 119 inches tall on a level 72 x 72 inch square footprint. With 1,900 gallons of capacity, it fits municipal and rural water storage, fire-water reserves, and ag and process water programs where a tall vertical tank earns its small ground footprint.
Will this vertical storage tank work for your application?
Filled with water at 8.34 lb per gallon, this tank carries roughly 15,846 lb of full water weight, and its 1.9 specific gravity rating supports up to about 30,107 lb of contents. That is real capability, not just margin: a water buyer who later needs to store a denser liquid has built-in headroom up to a 1.9 SG rating without resizing the tank. Plan your site for the full 72 x 72 inch fully supporting pad and 119 inches of vertical clearance, with extra room above the manway and vent for access. The factory layout shown on the technical drawing on this page includes a flange, an 18-inch PE threaded and vented fitting, and a manway with 15-inch access. That 15-inch opening is a real go/no-go spec: it governs whether a worker or equipment can enter for cleaning or internal hardware on a tank this tall, so verify it against your man-entry plan. If you are still settling on the right vertical tank for your volume, run the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide.
The mistake to avoid
Three things sink vertical HDPE installs at this size. First, match your bulkhead fitting, gasket, and vent thread to the 18-inch PE threaded port and the flange before you plumb anything - the fitting and gasket interface is the install-day failure point, and the drawing is your reference. Second, the wall thins toward the top, and the vapor-saturated headspace is exactly where premature failures originate; our guide on HDPE tank wall thickness and the ASTM D1998 sizing logic explains why liquid-side inspection misses it. Third, do not skimp on the foundation: an above-ground tank this heavy needs a properly sized, continuously supporting pad, covered in our concrete pad sizing framework. For fire-protection service, size your reserve with NFPA 22 discipline and account for freeze protection in cold climates.
Freight and ordering
This tank ships LTL from a single West Coast origin, the Snyder plant in Chowchilla, California, so buyers east of the Rockies should expect a longer LTL lane and pull a real number before committing. Freight is quoted live to your ZIP code rather than baked into the list price; get a figure in seconds with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will line up the right vertical HDPE storage tank, confirm the fitting layout against the drawing, and book the LTL carrier. For larger water programs that need secondary containment, ask about the Snyder Captor double-wall option and our freeboard sizing guide.
