The Snyder Industries 22 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a compact, ASTM D1998 vertical tank for point-of-use water and liquid storage where a bench, a closet, or a utility corner is all you have to work with. It stands 23 inches tall on an 18 x 18 inch footprint, holds 22 gallons, and is molded in white HDPE by Snyder Industries in Lincoln, Nebraska. If you are searching for a small vertical storage tank that ships without a full pallet of dead space around it, this is the size that fits the job.
Will it work for your application?
This is a molded polyethylene vertical tank rated to a specific gravity of 1.9, which means the wall is engineered to hold contents up to 1.9 times the weight of water. For plain water storage that gives you a wide safety margin, and it also means the tank is already built for far denser liquids should your application call for it. The two numbers that matter when you size a stand, shelf, or pad are these:
- Water load: ~183 lb (22 gallons of water)
- Design maximum: 349 lb (full rated load at 1.9 SG)
- Footprint / point load: 18 x 18 in, 23 in tall
Build your support for the 349 lb rated maximum if there is any chance you will store something denser than water; size for the 183 lb water figure only if water is all it will ever hold. The low 18 x 18 inch base and 23 inch height keep the profile stable and untippy, so it sits cleanly on a workbench, in a mechanical room, or under a counter. Fitting and outlet configuration is not fixed in this listing — confirm fill, vent, and outlet placement against the technical drawing on this page and with us at 866-418-1777 before you cut any plumbing, and run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide if you are still settling on a capacity.
Specifications at a glance
Capacity is 22 gallons in white HDPE, vertical orientation, 23 inches tall by 18 inches wide by 18 inches deep, on an 18.0 x 18.0 inch footprint. The specific gravity rating is 1.9, the construction is polyethylene built to ASTM D1998 by Snyder Industries, and the tank is made and shipped out of Nebraska. This sits at the small end of the Snyder vertical storage tank lineup, and because 1.9 SG is already at the top of the range, the natural move if 22 gallons proves tight is to step up in capacity within the same HDPE build rather than chasing a higher SG rating — you are already there.
Freight and ordering
This tank ships LTL freight from Snyder's plant in Lincoln, Nebraska, quoted live to your ZIP code rather than bundled into the listed price. On a small, low-cost tank like this one, freight can be a meaningful share of the total, so pull a ZIP quote before you commit: use the Freight Cost Estimator for an exact number, or call us at 866-418-1777 and we will quote it over the phone and confirm the right size for your install. For background on how polyethylene tank walls are engineered and inspected, the guide on HDPE tank wall thickness and ASTM D1998 sizing logic walks through the detail behind that 1.9 rating.
