The Snyder Industries 200 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a white, 200-gallon vertical storage tank molded from polyethylene and built to a 1.9 specific gravity rating, with ASTM certification. It stands 48 inches tall on a square 40 x 40 inch footprint, which makes it a practical fit for indoor and outdoor liquid storage where headroom and pad space both matter. For anyone sizing a vertical storage tank around water or a heavier liquid, that 1.9 rating is the spec that does the most work on this model.
Will this 200 gallon tank work for your application?
Start with weight, because it drives your pad, your stand, and your handling plan. Filled with water, this tank holds roughly 1,668 pounds of contents. At its full rated capacity, the 1.9 specific gravity rating allows a maximum contents weight of about 3,169 pounds, so the tank itself is engineered to carry liquid almost twice the weight of water. Use those two numbers to bracket your real load: water service sits near the low end, and a denser liquid up to the 1.9 SG ceiling sits near the high end. For water and light-liquid duty, that gap is pure safety headroom (1,668 lb actual against 3,169 lb rated); the same 1.9 rating is what lets the tank do double duty for heavier service later without buying a different tank. The footprint is a true 40.0 x 40.0 inches, so a 4-foot-square concrete pad or a properly rated stand gives full base support, and at 48 inches tall it clears headroom in most barns, pump houses, and utility rooms.
Specifications and pre-order checklist
This is a polyethylene vertical tank in natural white, 200 gallon capacity, 48 inches tall on a 40 x 40 inch footprint, carrying ASTM certification and a 1.9 specific gravity rating. Before you order, run a quick four-point check: confirm the 40 x 40 inch footprint fits your pad, confirm 48 inches clears your headroom, confirm your liquid's specific gravity stays at or below 1.9, and pull an LTL freight quote to your ZIP. The technical drawing on this page shows the molded dimensions and fitting layout for this model. The outlet and fitting thread sizes are not listed in the online spec, so confirm them against the drawing or call 866-418-1777 to verify thread sizes and gasket type before you finalize your plumbing. Size selection is easier with the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide, and the engineering behind that 1.9 rating and wall thickness is covered in the guide on HDPE tank wall thickness and ASTM D1998 sizing logic.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a vertical storage tank this size is designing the support structure around water weight when you intend to store something heavier. This tank is rated to 1.9 specific gravity for a reason: it can hold a liquid that weighs nearly twice as much as water, but your pad, stand, and anchoring have to be designed for the full 3,169-pound maximum contents load, not the 1,668-pound water figure. Match your foundation to the heaviest liquid you plan to store, and confirm that liquid's specific gravity stays at or below 1.9 before you fill. For the complete rundown on this size, the 200 gallon vertical liquid storage tank buyer's guide walks through it.
