The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 8130000C34) is a polyethylene vertical storage tank built for bulk water storage. It stands 88 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch footprint and carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, which is the structural spec that sets this heavy-duty model apart from a standard-duty 2000-gallon vertical. The black resin makes it a common pick for outdoor water storage, fire-water reserves, rainwater capture, and industrial water reuse.
Will it work for your site?
The tank holds a true 2000 gallons. Water weighs 16,680 lb when it is full at specific gravity 1.0; the 1.9 SG wall rating means it is engineered to carry up to 31,692 lb of contents at maximum rated density. That reserve structural capacity is exactly what you are paying for over a standard-duty 2000-gallon vertical storage tank, and it is why this Snyder model gets specified for long-life water storage. Use the 90 x 90 inch footprint to plan your pad and clearances, and confirm your final layout against the technical drawing on this page. If you are still deciding on capacity or comparing this against other 2000-gallon verticals, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk through volume, weight, and pad loading, and our Snyder vs Norwesco vs Chem-Tainer 2000 gallon vertical comparison lays the brands side by side.
Fittings and foundation planning
Fitting and outlet configuration for this model is shown on the technical drawing on this page; confirm bulkhead fitting and gasket sizing against that drawing before you order plumbing. A loaded 2000-gallon tank concentrates serious weight on its base, so the pad matters as much as the tank. Our guide to concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks covers the ACI 360R-10 framework for getting the foundation right. For rural fire protection reservoirs, the fire-water reservoir design guide addresses NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection. If you are aggregating grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, our industrial water reuse tank topology guide covers quality-banded storage trains.
Mistake to avoid
The most common error on a heavy-duty vertical is under-building the foundation. A fully loaded unit at the tank's maximum rated density can reach roughly 31,692 lb on the pad, so size the foundation to the actual loaded weight of your stored contents and level the pad fully under the entire base. Confirm fitting placement and outlet locations against the technical drawing on this page before you set your plumbing.
