The Snyder Industries 210 Gallon ASTM XLPE Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 1012900N48) is a crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) vertical storage tank built for demanding above-ground service. It holds 210 gallons, stands 55 inches tall on a compact 36 x 36 inch footprint, and is molded in black to shield contents from UV light and slow algae growth outdoors. The XLPE wall carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, so this vertical tank is rated for heavier-than-water contents that a standard HDPE tank would not safely hold.
Will it work for your site?
Size your pad and anchoring for the loaded weight: filled with water this tank weighs about 1,751 lb, and at its maximum rated 1.9 specific gravity it can carry roughly 3,328 lb of contents. Use 3,328 lb as your design load for anything denser than water, or 1,751 lb if you are storing water only. The 36 x 36 inch footprint keeps the tank stable and easy to move through gates and into equipment rooms, while the 55 inch height keeps outlet plumbing at a workable level. If you are still settling on volume, run your numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
Fittings and access
Per the technical drawing on this page, this vertical storage tank is configured with a flange, an 18-inch PE threaded/vented top opening that serves as the fill and vent point, and a manway with 15-inch access for cleaning and interior inspection. Reference the drawing on this page for exact opening locations and orientation before you set the tank and rough in your plumbing, since field-changing a molded fitting is not practical. One real-world detail buyers miss: the tank body's chemical rating does not extend to the fitting seals, so match your flange and threaded-fitting gasket elastomer (EPDM, Viton, or buna) to your stored fluid, not just the tank wall.
XLPE vs. HDPE — the mistake to avoid
The most common misstep on a heavy-duty tank like this is treating crosslinked polyethylene as interchangeable with standard HDPE. XLPE is molded for higher-density, more aggressive duty, which is exactly why this tank carries a 1.9 SG rating. If you are weighing the two wall types for a specific job, read Snyder XLPE vs HDPE: When Crosslinking Matters. If this is fire-water or rural reserve storage, our Fire-Water Reservoir Tank Design guide covers sizing discipline and freeze protection, and Concrete Pad Sizing for Above-Ground Polyethylene Tanks walks through building a stable base.
