A 2000 gallon black vertical water tank, 96 inches across and 84 inches tall, rated 1.35 specific gravity
Snyder part number 5050300N33 is a 2000 gallon vertical storage tank in black polyethylene, 96 inches in diameter and 84 inches tall, weighing 380 lb empty. It is rated for liquids up to 1.35 specific gravity, which makes it a water tank first, with a service limit of 120 F (48 C). On top is an 18 inch threaded vented manway. 2000 gallons of water weighs 16,680 lb. Snyder backs it with a 3 year warranty. It ships from Snyder's Chowchilla, California plant. The black wall shuts out light, so algae does not take hold in stored water.
Is it only water going in? Then this rating covers it. For anything heavier, call 866-418-1777 first, or get freight to your ZIP and add it to your cart above.
A water tank for a low roofline
Most people buying this tank are storing water: a well buffer, a rainwater catch, a livestock reserve, wash-down water for a shop or a holding tank for a hauled water supply. The 1.35 rating gives margin over plain water and over water with a little dissolved in it. It is not the tank for brines or strong fertilizer blends, which run heavier and need a heavier wall. If you are unsure, tell us the liquid and we will say which wall it needs; Snyder makes this size in heavy duty walls as well.
At 84 inches tall it fits under a low roof or a deck, and the manway is within reach from a short ladder, so filling and checking it is a one-person job. The 96 inch diameter is where the space goes. Measure the set position and the route to it, including gates and corners, before you order.
Full of water, 16,680 lb rests on the base. Give it a level, continuous surface with nothing under one edge; our concrete pad sizing guide explains slab thickness and when to involve an engineer. For a rural fire reserve, the fire water reservoir design guide covers sizing and keeping the water from freezing. Our note on freeboard and usable volume explains why you plan on less than the full 2000 gallons. Work out the size you need with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide.
Openings, and what to confirm before you buy
- Manway. One 18 inch threaded vented manway on top, used to fill, vent and inspect. Leave the vent clear so the tank breathes as it fills and drains.
- Outlet. No outlet fitting is listed with this part number. Tell us the pipe size and how the water leaves the tank, and we will confirm with Snyder what is fitted and what to add.
- Temperature. The service limit is 120 F; it is a cold and ambient water tank, not a hot water tank.
- Drawing. A Snyder drawing for the 5050300 shell is linked under Technical Drawing on this page. Confirm the fitting layout for this exact part number with us before you set the pipework.
