The Snyder Industries 2500 Gallon Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a 2,500-gallon polyethylene vertical storage tank built for bulk water service on a 90-inch round footprint, standing 107 inches tall. It carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, the heavy-duty end of Snyder's vertical line, which means the wall is engineered to hold contents far denser than water. For plain water storage that rating is a wide structural safety margin on a tank you will fill and refill for years.
Will it work for your site?
Full of water this vertical tank carries roughly 20,850 lb of contents, and its 1.9 SG rating allows a maximum rated contents weight of about 39,615 lb. Those two numbers are what your pad and your site access have to handle. Plan the slab around the 90 x 90 inch footprint and the full-water weight, not the empty shell. A level, continuously supported base is the single most important thing for a vertical tank this size, so size the pad before the tank arrives. Note that the 2,500-gallon figure is nominal; usable draw depends on outlet height, so confirm fitting placement on the technical drawing on this page. Run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 2,500 gallons matches your draw and refill cycle.
Common uses and matched guidance
This is a workhorse for rural and remote water storage, fire-water reserve, and industrial water reuse. If you are building private fire protection, our guide to fire-water reservoir tank design walks through NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection. For grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate aggregation, the industrial water reuse tank topology guide covers quality-banded storage trains and treatment sequencing.
The mistake to avoid
Underbuilding the foundation. A water-filled 2,500-gallon tank is a 20,850 lb load, and a heavy-duty 1.9 SG tank does not forgive an uneven or undersized base. Pour a proper pad and let it cure before filling. Our concrete pad sizing guide lays out the ACI 360R-10 framework and where the ACI 318 boundary applies for above-ground polyethylene tanks. Because the 1.9 SG build is engineered for contents far denser than water, this same tank carries over to heavier-than-water service if your plan changes later. Confirm your fitting locations and sizes against the technical drawing before you plumb, and call us at 866-418-1777 if you need help matching outlets to your inlet and discharge plan.
