Snyder Industries 22 Gallon ASTM Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

Where a 22 gallon tank fits

At 18 inches across and 23 inches tall this tank takes less than a two foot square of floor and stands well under waist height. It fits on a shelf, inside a cabinet, on a cart, or on the frame of a small pump skid. At 9 lb empty you can lift it with one hand.

That makes it the right tank for small, dense jobs: a chemical feed for a dosing pump at a small water system, a reagent held beside the equipment that uses it, a test batch before a larger tank is ordered. It is also a sensible catch tank for drips and small flows that need to be held and checked before they go anywhere; our guide to grey water, rainwater and condensate reuse storage shows where small collection tanks sit in a larger reuse system.

The heavy duty wall is the reason to choose it over a light duty tank of the same size. A liquid close to twice the weight of water loads the wall twice as hard, and this wall is rated for that. Check the liquid in our chemical compatibility guide first. Black keeps light out, so stored water stays free of algae and light sensitive liquids keep longer; it also hides the level and warms in the sun, so keep it shaded against the 120 F limit.

What to check before you buy

1. The openings. No outlet or lid size is listed for this tank on this page. Tell us the connection you need and we will confirm the openings from Snyder's drawing before it ships.
2. Support. 349 lb on an 18 inch circle is a real load for a shelf. Use a shelf or stand rated for it, flat and touching the whole bottom; our concrete pad sizing guide explains why full contact matters.
3. The level. Plan a dipstick or a gauge, because a black wall does not show the liquid.
4. The drawing. Snyder's drawing for 1530000N51 is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

The ASTM in the name is Snyder's heavy duty designation; no ASTM standard number is listed for this tank here, so ask us for written confirmation from Snyder if your specification names one. Size the volume with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide.

Other 22 gallon tanks and the next size up

The same 22 gallon size comes in cross-linked resin, black as the 22 gallon ASTM XLPE black heavy duty tank 1530000N48 and without the colour in the name as the 22 gallon ASTM XLPE heavy duty tank 1530000N42, and as the 22 gallon HDPE vertical tank SII-1530000N45. The next size up in this black heavy duty line is the 30 gallon tank 1541000N51. Tell us the liquid and we will say which resin it needs.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 250 from Lincoln, Nebraska, 18 by 18 by 23 inches and 9 lb. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the cost to your ZIP. A tank this light is easy to lose among other freight, so at the tailgate check the part number against 1530000N51 on the bill of lading, look it over for transit damage, and note any damage on the paperwork before you sign. Fill it with water first, leave it overnight, and check the base and connections before it carries anything else.
