Snyder Industries 200 Gallon ASTM XLPE Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

Why a four foot tall 200 gallon tank

At 48 inches tall, the top of this tank sits around chest height on most adults. You can see into it, fill it from a hose or a drum pump and reach the fittings without a step. It goes under a low roof, an eave, a shelf of pipe or a mezzanine, and a wide, low tank stands steadier than a tall one, which matters outdoors in the wind and anywhere the liquid is heavy. The cost of the low height is floor space: plan for a full 40 inch circle plus room to work around it.

The resin is cross-linked polyethylene, XLPE. Its polymer chains are bonded together during moulding, which gives a tougher wall that resists stress cracking better than standard polyethylene, and a 140 F service limit. Our guide to when cross-linking matters for chemical duty explains when that matters for your liquid; check the liquid itself in our chemical compatibility guide.

Black blocks light, so it protects liquids that break down in sunlight and keeps algae out of stored water. For an outdoor water reserve in a cold region, the rural water reserve and freeze protection guide covers winter. A black wall also warms in the sun and hides the level, so give it shade in hot climates and fit a gauge.

What to check before you buy

1. Clearance above. Leave room over the 48 inch height to open the top and get a hose or a pump wand in.
2. The base. 3,169 lb of dense liquid on a 40 inch circle needs a flat, level surface touching the whole bottom; see our concrete pad sizing guide.
3. The openings. No outlet or manway size is listed for this tank on this page. Tell us the connections you need and we will confirm them from Snyder's drawing before it ships.
4. The drawing. Snyder's drawing for 1540000N48 is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

ASTM in the name is Snyder's heavy duty designation, and no ASTM standard number is listed for this tank here. If your specification calls one out, ask us and we will confirm it with Snyder in writing. Size the volume with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 300 from Lincoln, Nebraska, 40 by 40 by 48 inches and 63 lb. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the cost to your ZIP. Make sure gates, doors and passages on the way to its spot pass a 40 inch tank. At the tailgate, check the part number against 1540000N48 on the bill of lading, look the wall and base over for transit damage, and note any damage on the paperwork before you sign. Fill it with water first, leave it a day, and check the base and every connection before it carries anything else.
