The Snyder Industries 2500 Gallon ASTM XLPE Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 5090000N40) is a natural white crosslinked polyethylene vertical tank built for demanding bulk water and high-density liquid storage. It stands 107 inches tall on a 90-inch by 90-inch footprint, and its crosslinked linear polyethylene wall carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating - meaning it is engineered to hold contents heavier than water, not just water at 1.0. If you are searching for a heavy-duty 2500 gallon vertical storage tank in XLPE, this Snyder unit is sized for both the volume and the weight.
Will it work for your site?
At full capacity this tank holds 2,500 gallons. Filled with water, the contents alone weigh roughly 20,850 pounds, and at the full 1.5 specific gravity rating the tank is rated to carry up to 31,275 pounds of contents - which is simply that same 2,500 gallons at 1.5 SG (20,850 x 1.5 = 31,275), so you can check the ceiling yourself against your own liquid's density. That weight matters for your foundation: a tank this size needs a properly designed, level pad sized for the load. Our concrete pad sizing guide (ACI 360R-10 framework) walks through how to spec that base, and the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm 2,500 gallons is the right volume before you commit. Check the 90 x 90 inch footprint and 107-inch height against door and ceiling clearances at your install point.
Why crosslinked polyethylene matters here
This is a crosslinked (XLPE) tank, not standard linear polyethylene. Crosslinked resin gives a tougher, more impact- and stress-crack-resistant wall, which is why it earns the 1.5 specific gravity rating for heavier liquids. The most common mistake buyers make is treating the specific gravity number as optional - it is not. If your stored liquid is denser than water, the 1.5 rating is what keeps this tank within its design envelope; for water and lighter contents you have plenty of margin. Because usable volume and freeboard also shift with density and thermal expansion, our Snyder freeboard sizing guide (ASTM D1998) explains the real volume you can actually use. This tank is also a strong fit for fire-water reservoir and reserve storage duty - see our fire-water reservoir design guide for NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection - and if you are aggregating grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, our water reuse tank topology guide covers quality-banded storage trains.
Fittings and drawing
For exact fitting locations, outlet placement, and dimensional detail, refer to the technical drawing on this page before finalizing your plumbing and pad layout. Confirm outlet height, fitting sizes, and gasket or o-ring compatibility against the drawing and by phone at 866-418-1777 before you order, so your piping is ready when the tank is set.
