Snyder Industries 250 Gallon ASTM XLPE Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

What a 250 gallon heavy duty vertical is for

This is the bulk tank in a small plant room: the supply for a treatment chemical feed at a well house, a brine or a cleaning chemical at a wash bay, or a liquid fertilizer beside a greenhouse injector. The cross-linked wall is the choice when the chemistry is harder on plastic than water is; our note on when crosslinking matters for chemistry duty walks through where it is worth paying for. The level showing through the wall is the practical gain over a black tank: an operator walking past can see when the tank needs a refill. Keep it out of strong direct sun if the contents grow algae or break down in light. Check anything other than water in our chemical compatibility guide before it goes in.

Leave room at the top. A liquid that warms expands, and a tank filled to the brim in the cool of the morning can overflow by the afternoon; our article on freeboard sizing and the real volume you can actually use shows how much to hold back. If the tank is part of a rural fire water plan, read our fire water reservoir design guide first; 250 gallons is a supplement there, not a reservoir.

What to check before you buy

1. Base. Nearly two tons on a 40 inch circle needs a flat, level, continuous surface. Our concrete pad sizing guide covers the slab.
2. Fittings. The outlet and lid are not listed on this page. Tell us the outlet size and height and how you are connecting to it, and we will confirm what comes on 5730100N42.
3. Listings. If an inspector or a spec calls for a listing on this tank, ask us for the written statement for this part number before you order.
4. The drawing. The technical drawing for 5730100N42 is linked under Technical Drawing on this page. Plan the pipe run and the clearance above the top from it.

A little smaller is the 210 gallon heavy duty tank; a little larger is the 275 gallon ASTM XLPE tank. The shapes differ between part numbers, so compare diameter and height on each page. To check the volume against your use, run the tank sizing calculator or read the tank sizing guide.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 300 from Marked Tree, Arkansas, as a 40 by 40 by 69 inch load weighing 79 lb. Add it to your cart at the top of this page, get LTL freight to your ZIP, or call 866-418-1777. The listed price is before freight. At the tailgate, check the part number against 5730100N42 on the bill of lading and look the base and the top over for transit damage before you sign. Fill it with water the first time and watch every fitting for a weep before the chemical goes in.
