The Snyder Industries 2500 Gallon ASTM Black Vertical Storage Tank is a 2,500-gallon polyethylene vertical storage tank built to ASTM standards, standing 107 inches tall on a 90 x 90-inch footprint. It is molded in black to block light and slow algae growth, and because black absorbs solar gain, the tank suits the cold-climate service the fire-water and freeze-protection guide below covers. It carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, the top durability tier, so the wall is engineered to hold contents up to 1.5 times the weight of water without derating the volume you actually use.
Will this vertical tank work for your site?
Filled with water this tank carries roughly 20,850 lb, and at its full 1.5 SG rating it is built to hold up to 31,275 lb of contents. That same 1.5 rating is why the tank handles heavier-than-water fluids and dense process water, not just plain water, so a buyer comparing a cheaper 1.0-SG tank can see the durability margin here. Those weights drive your pad: 31,275 lb spread over the 90 x 90-inch (56.25 sq ft) base works out to roughly 556 lb per square foot, so plan a level, engineered concrete pad rated for the full load before you set the tank. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm the tank matches your draw-down and refill cycle, and the concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework for above-ground poly tanks.
Fittings and access
This vertical storage tank is configured with a flange fitting, an 18-inch polyethylene threaded and vented lid on top, and a separate 15-inch access manway for interior entry, inspection, and cleaning, so you get two distinct openings rather than one. Some gallonage marks may be removed for fitting placement, so verify final port locations against the technical drawing on this page before you plumb the tank. Match your bulkhead fittings, gaskets, and camlocks to the flange and 18-inch threaded port sizes shown on that drawing before ordering plumbing hardware, and confirm the layout matches your inlet, outlet, and vent routing so nothing conflicts with your fill line or overflow.
Freight and next steps
This 2,500 gallon Snyder black vertical tank ships by LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Marked Tree, Arkansas. Freight is quoted live to your ZIP and is not included in the list price, because cost depends on distance, accessorials, and your delivery site.
