The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a white polyethylene vertical storage tank carrying ASTM certification, sized for bulk water and general liquid storage on farms, fire-protection sites, and industrial yards. It stands 88 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch round footprint, holds 2,000 gallons, and carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating - the ASTM D1998 design density the wall is engineered to, meaning it is rated for liquids up to 1.5 times the weight of water, with plenty of margin for plain water service.
Will this vertical storage tank work for your site?
Plan around the loaded weight before you pour a pad. Filled with water, this 2000 gallon HDPE vertical tank carries roughly 16,680 lb of contents; at its full 1.5 specific gravity rating it is built to hold up to 25,020 lb of liquid. That weight rides on a 90.0 x 90.0 inch footprint, so the pad - typically a level, reinforced concrete slab - has to be sized and engineered for the full standing load, not the empty tank. A tank in this 16,680 to 25,020 lb range ships LTL freight quoted live to your ZIP from whichever of our two Snyder plants is closer, so eastern sites route off Philippi, WV and central and western sites off Lincoln, NE. The 88 inch height keeps it manageable for outdoor placement while still giving you the full 2,000 gallon working volume. If you are matching tank size to a daily-demand or reserve-capacity target, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide first. For how the wall is engineered, see our guide on HDPE tank wall thickness and ASTM D1998 sizing.
Fittings, venting, and configuration
Refer to the technical drawing on this page for the fitting layout, outlet, and lid placement on this specific Snyder vertical tank. Before ordering, confirm two things against your install: the outlet and bulkhead size against your plumbing run, and the gasket or seal material against the liquid you intend to store. Because this is a vertical, gravity-feed configuration, mounting the draw point and any vent at the correct elevations matters. Size your atmospheric venting before commissioning - our API 2000 vent capacity worked examples cover thermal inbreathing, outbreathing, and fill/draw sizing on 1,500 to 10,000 gallon verticals exactly like this one. If this tank will serve a private fire-protection reservoir, our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design and NFPA 22 sizing walks through reserve sizing and freeze protection for cold-climate sites.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this size is underbuilding the foundation. A 1.5 specific gravity rating tells you the wall strength, not that you can set a 25,020 lb load on bare or uneven ground. Build the pad for the maximum rated standing weight, keep it dead level, and support the full diameter - a tank that settles or bridges a soft spot stresses the floor knuckle and shortens its life. Match the tank's specific gravity rating to your actual liquid before any non-water service: if you are storing something denser or more regulated than water, our Snyder Captor double-wall freeboard sizing guide covers the containment and freeboard step-up you may need.
