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

The Snyder Industries 200 Gallon ASTM XLPE Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) vertical storage tank built to ASTM standards, standing 57 inches tall on a compact 40 x 40 in. footprint. Molded in black to shield contents from UV and algae growth, it carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, which is where this tank earns its "heavy duty" designation: it is engineered to hold liquids substantially denser than water, up to a maximum rated contents weight of 3,169 lb. Filled with plain water the tank weighs about 1,668 lb, so a level, load-rated pad matters from day one.

Will it work for your job?

At 200 gallons in a 40 x 40 in. vertical footprint, this is a practical size for rural water storage, fire-water reserve, rainwater collection, and general bulk storage where floor space is tight but you still need real capacity. The crosslinked resin gives you a stiffer, more impact- and stress-crack-resistant wall than standard HDPE. To check a heavier liquid against the tank's limit, multiply its specific gravity by 200 gal and 8.34 lb/gal and keep the result under the 3,169 lb rated ceiling, that math is exactly what the 1.9 SG rating buys you. If you are weighing crosslinked versus linear polyethylene for a denser or more aggressive duty, our guide on Snyder XLPE vs HDPE covers when crosslinking is worth it, and if your application calls for secondary containment, the Snyder Captor double-wall freeboard guide is the right step up. To right-size for your draw-down and refill cycle, run the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide.

Fittings and access

Per the technical drawing on this page, this tank is configured with a flange fitting, a 14-inch polyethylene threaded and vented fitting, and a manway with 11-3/8 inch access. That 11-3/8 inch opening is your working clearance for hand and tool entry when cleaning, inspecting, or installing submerged hardware, so confirm it fits anything you plan to mount inside. Review the drawing for exact fitting locations and elevations before you plumb the site, and specify your own gaskets and bulkhead fittings to suit your connections, sealing hardware is not included.
