Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon ASTM XLPE Black Vertical Storage Tank

The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank is a black, ASTM XLPE (crosslinked linear polyethylene) vertical tank rated to 1.5 specific gravity, standing 84" tall on a 96" x 96" footprint. It holds 2,000 gallons and is built for water and heavier liquids where a stronger wall matters. If you are comparing vertical storage tanks across brands, the crosslinked wall and the 1.5 SG rating are the two numbers that separate this Snyder from lighter-duty options.

Fittings and how it plumbs

The stock fitting package shown on the technical drawing is a flange outlet, an 18" PE threaded and vented lid, and a manway with 15" access for interior cleaning and inspection. See the technical drawing on this page for exact fitting locations and elevations before you set your plumbing. Those three are the standard openings on this model; confirm any additional bulkhead or valve sizing against the drawing rather than assuming.

Will it work for your site?

Filled with water, this tank carries roughly 16,680 lb, and it is rated to hold contents up to about 25,020 lb at its 1.5 specific gravity limit. That headroom is the whole point of the crosslinked wall: it lets you store liquids denser than water without exceeding the rating. Size the pad for that loaded figure — 25,020 lb spread over the 96" x 96" footprint, not the empty shell or the water-only weight. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks works through the ACI 360R-10 framework for a base this size. If this is fire-water or reserve storage, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm this 2,000 gallon size fits your draw-down and refill cycle.

The mistake to avoid

Do not assume every 2000 gallon vertical tank is the same. This one is crosslinked (XLPE) and rated to 1.5 SG — that rating is exactly what buys you the 25,020 lb max-rated-contents figure that a 1.0-rated linear tank does not have. This is a single-wall tank, so if you need freeboard math the freeboard and thermal-expansion sizing guide explains how much usable volume you actually get once expansion is accounted for. If you are weighing brands, the Snyder vs Norwesco vs Chem-Tainer 2000 gallon comparison lays out the differences.

This tank ships LTL freight from Snyder's plant in Chowchilla, California. West-coast ZIPs sit close to that origin; eastern destinations run a longer lane, so freight is quoted live to your ZIP rather than folded into the list price.
