The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Plastic Water Storage Tank in White is a vertical storage tank built for bulk water, irrigation supply, fire-water reserve, and rainwater or process-water aggregation. It holds 2,000 gallons in a 96-inch-diameter footprint that stands only 77 inches tall, so it clears low buildings and under-roof installs where a tall vertical tank won't fit. The shell is molded from high density linear polyethylene and carries a 1.1 specific gravity rating, which covers water and water-weight liquids without overstressing the wall.
Will this tank work for your site?
Plan the pad and plumbing around real numbers. The 96 x 96-inch footprint needs a level, fully supported base rated for the load: at full water this Snyder vertical storage tank weighs about 16,680 pounds, and its maximum rated contents weight is 18,348 pounds. Concrete or a compacted, ring-supported pad is the right call at this size. From the technical drawing on this page, the tank carries a 20-inch vented manway up top for fill, inspection, and gauging. That manway is vented, so this is an atmospheric (non-pressurized) tank: do not cap or seal the vent, since a sealed poly tank can collapse or rupture on draw-down. For outlet, you get a 2-inch heavy-duty polypropylene bulkhead fitting with an EPDM gasket, and the 7" x 8" flat fitting set at 90 degrees gives you a second wall penetration for a fill line, level sensor, or recirculation return separate from that outlet. Lid hardware is stainless. Run the numbers with the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 2,000 gallons matches your draw-down and refill cycle before you pour a pad.
What to get right before you order
The 1.1 specific gravity rating is the number to respect. This tank is engineered for water and liquids up to 1.1 SG; if your contents are heavier than that, this is the wrong shell. Match your downstream pipe, valve, and any thread sealant to the 2-inch polypropylene bulkhead and its EPDM gasket, and avoid petroleum-based lubricants, which degrade EPDM. Size the pad for the full 18,348-pound rated load rather than the dry weight. Storing something heavier than 1.1 SG, like most brines, fertilizers, or chemicals? Call 866-418-1777 and we'll spec a higher specific-gravity-rated tank for your liquid. For cold-climate and fire-reserve installs, freeze protection and reservoir sizing matter as much as the tank itself; see our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design, and for grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC-condensate aggregation, the industrial water reuse tank topology walkthrough covers quality-banded storage trains.
Comparing 2000-gallon verticals?
If you're cross-shopping brands and dimensions, our Snyder vs Norwesco vs Chem-Tainer 2000 gallon comparison and the 2000 gallon vertical liquid storage tank buyer's guide lay out footprint, height, and fitting trade-offs side by side. Note that the buyer's-guide tank is a tall-narrow 64 x 152-inch variant, not this squat 96 x 77-inch shell, so use it to weigh footprint against height for your space.
