The Snyder Industries 2500 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 5090300N48) is a black, crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) vertical storage tank built for heavy-duty water and high-density liquid service. It stands 98 inches tall on a 96 x 96 inch footprint, so plan your pad and overhead clearance around those dimensions before you order. Molded to ASTM standards, it carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, which means the wall is engineered to hold liquids substantially heavier than water without derating, and it ships LTL from California, so factor origin into your freight expectations up front.
Will it work for your site
Filled with water, this vertical storage tank holds roughly 20,850 pounds of contents; at its full 1.9 SG rating it is built to carry up to 39,615 pounds. Use those numbers when you size the concrete pad and check soil bearing. That 1.9 rating is the real differentiator here: where a standard water tank tops out around 1.5 SG, this one is rated for denser liquids without stepping down the fill line. If you are storing something heavier than water, size your usable volume with freeboard and thermal expansion in mind using our Snyder freeboard sizing guide. Because the walls are crosslinked polyethylene rather than standard HDPE, the resin resists environmental stress cracking and stands up better to demanding, long-term storage duty. The 2500-gallon vertical is a common choice for bulk water reserves, rural fire-water reservoirs, and process make-up storage where a tall, small-footprint tank beats a sprawling horizontal. If you are still working through capacity and pad geometry, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and read the Tank Sizing Guide.
Fittings and access
The tank comes configured with a flange, a 2-3 inch S.U.M.O. fitting (a self-aligning gasketed fitting for flexible plumbing runs), an 18 inch polyethylene threaded and vented cover, and a manway with 15 inch access for interior inspection and cleaning. Confirm the exact fitting heights and orientations against the technical drawing on this page before you set your inlet and outlet piping, and match the flange and bulkhead gasket elastomer to your stored liquid before install so the seal material is compatible with the service.
Crosslinked vs standard polyethylene
If you are weighing this XLPE tank against a standard HDPE model, our guide on Snyder XLPE vs HDPE walks through when crosslinking earns its keep. For fire-reserve applications, the rural fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline, and the concrete pad sizing framework keeps your foundation within ACI limits for a tank this heavy.
