The Snyder Industries 2500 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) vertical storage tank molded from ASTM crosslinked linear polyethylene with a 1.9 specific gravity rating. Finished in natural white, it stands 98 inches tall on a 96-by-96-inch footprint, giving you a full 2,500 gallons of vertical storage where floor space is tight but ceiling height is not.
Will it work for your site?
The 1.9 SG rating is the number that matters here. Filled with water, this tank carries roughly 20,850 pounds; at its maximum rated contents the wall is engineered for up to 39,615 pounds, meaning the XLPE structure is qualified for dense contents well beyond plain water. If you are sizing for water storage, rural fire reserve, or agricultural supply, run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm the 2,500-gallon working volume against your draw and refill schedule. Remember that nominal capacity is not the same as usable capacity once you account for freeboard and thermal expansion — the ASTM D1998 freeboard sizing guide walks through the real volume you can actually put to work. The 96-by-96-inch footprint needs a properly engineered flat pad — see the concrete pad sizing framework before you set it.
Fittings and access
This vertical storage tank comes configured with a flange, a 2–3" S.U.M.O. fitting, an 18" polyethylene threaded and vented fitting, and a manway with 15" access for interior inspection and cleaning. The 18" threaded/vented fitting is the natural fill and vent candidate, and the 2–3" S.U.M.O. fitting is the likely bulkhead outlet, but confirm every fitting's exact location and height against the technical drawing on this page before you plumb your inlet, outlet, and overflow. Because this is a crosslinked (XLPE) wall rather than HDPE, it is a strong fit for demanding storage duty — the Snyder XLPE vs HDPE guide explains when the crosslinked wall earns its place.
Fire-water and reserve service
At 2,500 gallons this size is a common building block for private fire-protection and rural water reserves. If that is your application, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate sites.
This tank ships LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Chowchilla, California, and is quoted live to your ZIP. With a single West Coast origin, East Coast buyers should factor the cross-country haul into their planning — pull your number in seconds with the Freight Cost Estimator or call 866-418-1777. Common mistake to avoid: don't undersize the pad or skip leveling. A 2,500-gallon XLPE vertical tank puts nearly 40,000 pounds of rated load on a 64-square-foot footprint, and an uneven base is the fastest way to stress the wall.
