The Snyder Industries 22 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank packs a full 22 gallons of capacity into an 18-inch square footprint, which makes it a practical black vertical storage tank for spots where floor space is tight but you still need a rugged upright vessel. It stands 23 inches tall on an 18 x 18 inch base and is molded by Snyder from crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) to ASTM D1998, in a black wall that blocks light to slow algae growth in water service.
Will it work for your setup?
This vertical tank is rated for a specific gravity of 1.9, so the wall is engineered to carry contents substantially heavier than water. Filled with plain water at roughly 8.3 pounds per gallon, it holds about 183 pounds; loaded to its full 1.9 SG ceiling (about 15.8 pounds per gallon) it carries up to roughly 349 pounds of contents. Confirm your intended liquid weighs no more than 1.9 SG and that the surface underneath can support the loaded tank across its compact 18 x 18 inch footprint. Because the base is small and the tank rises to 23 inches, set it on a flat, fully supported pad rather than an uneven or point-loaded surface. If you are matching tank size to a daily draw or a reserve volume, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide before you buy.
XLPE construction and what to check
Crosslinked polyethylene is a denser, more impact- and stress-crack-resistant wall than standard HDPE, which is why Snyder rates this vertical storage tank to 1.9 specific gravity — the ceiling for this XLPE line. The tradeoff is that XLPE and HDPE behave differently in service, so if you are weighing this tank against a linear (HDPE) tank, our guide on Snyder XLPE vs HDPE: when crosslinking matters walks through where the crosslinked wall earns its keep. Check the product listing and the technical drawing on this page for the outlet and fitting layout before you plumb it. If usable volume matters, the freeboard and thermal-expansion math in our ASTM D1998 freeboard sizing guide explains the real volume you can count on, and if you are pouring a foundation, our concrete pad sizing guide covers how to spec a proper base.
