The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 8130000N40) is a crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) tank rated to a 1.5 specific gravity, molded in Natural White with a 90 x 90 inch footprint standing 88 inches tall. Confirm both the diameter and height against the technical drawing on this page before delivery day, since a load this size needs a full-diameter pad and a clear delivery path. The 1.5 SG rating is the number to check against your contents — the wall is built to hold liquids up to 1.5 times the weight of water, which is why this XLPE vertical storage tank covers plain water storage and heavier solutions within that limit.
Will it work for your site?
Filled with water this tank carries 16,680 lb; loaded to its full 1.5 SG rating it reaches 25,020 lb of contents. Run those figures through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to size your pad, ring wall, or containment — the weight, not the gallon count, drives the foundation.
Fittings (per drawing)
- Outlet flange
- 18-inch PE threaded and vented top opening
- Manway with 15-inch access for interior entry and cleanout
Verify the outlet and vent locations on the technical drawing against your plumbing run before you set the tank, and confirm the outlet flange gasket and the 18-inch PE threaded cap and vent are correctly seated and torqued before filling — an unsealed or poorly matched gasket is the most common failure on a fresh install.
Sizing the foundation and pad
A 2000-gallon vertical tank belongs on a level, continuously supported, full-diameter pad — poured concrete is the standard for a load this size. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks the ACI framework for getting the slab right. If you are weighing this Snyder tank against other 2000-gallon verticals, the Snyder vs Norwesco vs Chem-Tainer 2000 gallon comparison lays out the differences, and for rural fire-water and reservoir use see our fire-water reservoir design guide.
The mistake to avoid
The common error on a tank this size is under-building the base. Do not set 25,000 pounds of loaded tank on gravel or a partial pad — an unlevel or undersized foundation stresses the sidewall and shortens the tank's service life. Confirm the pad supports the full 90-inch diameter and is dead level before filling, and keep your contents at or below the 1.5 SG rating; anything heavier needs a higher-rated tank.
