The Snyder Industries 2500 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank is a black, ASTM-rated polyethylene vertical tank built for high-volume water and dense-liquid storage. It stands 107 inches tall on a 90 x 90-inch footprint, delivering 2,500 gallons in a compact round base. If you are shopping for a heavy-duty vertical storage tank that holds more than plain water, this is the size where footprint planning and pad design start to matter.
Key specs at a glance
Capacity 2,500 gallons. Height 107 in. Footprint 90 x 90 in. Specific gravity rating 1.4. Full water weight 20,850 lb; maximum rated contents weight 29,190 lb at 1.4 SG. Black polyethylene wall. See the technical drawing on this page for fitting locations and dimensioned views.
Will it work for your site?
The 1.4 specific gravity rating means this tank is built to hold contents heavier than water without stressing the wall. Filled with water the contents weigh 20,850 lb; at the rated 1.4 SG that climbs to 29,190 lb. Plan your foundation for the full 29,190 lb figure, not just the water weight, so the pad and subgrade carry the densest liquid you will actually store, and confirm that liquid stays at or below 1.4 SG. With a 90-inch base and 107-inch height, check overhead clearance at the top and leave room to work around the tank. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match this vertical tank to your draw-down and refill cycle before you commit. Outlet, bulkhead, and fitting configuration should be confirmed for your plumbing build before you order; call 866-418-1777 and we will verify size and placement for this SKU.
Foundation and installation
A tank this size needs a flat, fully supported base. Our concrete pad sizing guide (ACI 360R-10 framework) walks through sizing and leveling the slab so the load spreads evenly across the full 90 x 90-inch footprint. For rural fire-protection duty, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection. If you are aggregating grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, the industrial water reuse topology guide shows where a 2,500-gallon vertical fits in a banded storage train.
The mistake to avoid
The common error on a 2,500-gallon tank is under-building the base for anything denser than water. At 1.4 SG the contents weigh nearly 8,400 lb more than water alone. Size your pad, ring wall, or subgrade for the 29,190 lb rated load, not the 20,850 lb water figure, or you risk a settled and cracked slab.
