The Snyder Industries 200 Gallon Rectangular PCO Tank (SII-32149) is a white polyethylene tank built for portable bulk water handling where a flat footprint matters more than a round tank's diameter. Its 48 inch long by 36.5 inch wide body covers about 12.2 square feet and holds 200 gallons in a shape that butts flush against walls and against other rectangular 200 gallon tanks for side-by-side aggregation - the wasted corner space a cylinder leaves behind simply isn't there. This is a Snyder-built rectangular 200 gallon tank carrying a 1.5 specific gravity rating, which gives it real headroom above plain water service.
Will this 200 gallon rectangular tank work for your job?
Start with the loaded weight, because that is what your stand, trailer, or floor actually has to carry. Filled with water this tank weighs about 1,668 pounds. The 1.5 specific gravity rating sets the ceiling: 1,668 lb full of water x 1.5 SG = roughly 2,502 pounds maximum rated contents. Size your support structure around that higher number if you are storing anything denser than water, and use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm size and weight against your application before you commit. The 36.5 x 48.0 inch footprint, standing 38.25 inches tall, is the measurement to take to your pad or vehicle; if it is going on a slab, the concrete pad sizing guide walks through doing it to the ACI 360R-10 framework.
Common rectangular-tank mistakes to avoid
The biggest one is over-trusting the specific gravity rating. The 1.5 rating means the tank wall is engineered for a stored liquid up to 1.5 times the density of water - it does not certify the tank for any specific chemical or for potable use, and it is not a license to overfill. The second is mounting. A rectangular tank's flat walls flex differently than a round tank's, so it needs full, even support across the entire 36.5 x 48.0 inch footprint rather than point or edge support. Build the stand or pad to carry the loaded weight evenly and the tank does its job for years. One more: fitting and outlet locations are not configured in this listing, so confirm the bulkhead and outlet arrangement against the technical drawing on this page, or call 866-418-1777, before you order plumbing.
Where it shines
That rectangular shape earns its keep anywhere space is tight or the tank has to ride on a deck: portable water transport, jobsite and remote-site supply, and reuse or aggregation setups where tanks line up side by side. For grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate aggregation trains, the industrial water reuse tank topology guide covers how to band and sequence storage. If this is feeding a rural or remote fire-water reserve, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection. Storing a denser liquid, or need secondary containment beyond a single-wall tank? The Snyder Captor double-wall freeboard sizing guide walks through the next step up.
Snyder builds this tank at two plants - Albertville, AL and Merced, CA - so it ships LTL from whichever is closer to your ZIP, which matters on an item this size.
