2,500 gallons of green straight-wall water storage under seven and a half feet
The Snyder 32747 is a green polyethylene straight-wall water tank that holds 2,500 gallons in a shell 96 inches across and 90 inches tall, weighing 300 pounds. It is the wide, low water tank for a barn, a well house or a yard under an eave, and the green wall keeps light out of the water so it stays clear of algae through a summer outdoors. A 1-1/2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead inlet, a 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead outlet, a 26 inch threaded, vented manway wide enough to enter for cleaning, and a rating of 1.0 specific gravity for water and liquids no heavier.
Is this the right 2500 gallon tank? Call 866-418-1777 with the liquid, the site and the ceiling height, or get freight to your ZIP and add it to your cart above.
Ten tons of water on an eight foot circle
Full, the 32747 puts 20,850 pounds on a 96 inch circle, and a rotationally molded floor bears on the whole pad, so the pad is what matters: a compacted, screeded gravel base or a slab in full contact, per the concrete pad sizing guide, with the empty tank strapped against wind. A straight wall means the tank is the same width top to bottom, which is what lets it stand close to a wall and take a full-height sight tube, and the low shape keeps the manway within reach of a step. The usable volume is a little less than the nominal once freeboard and thermal expansion are allowed for; the freeboard sizing guide works out how much. The tank sizing calculator tells you whether 2,500 gallons covers the draw, and the tank sizing guide covers days of supply.
The 96 inch water tanks
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32747 (this tank, green) | 2,500 | 96 x 90 in | 300 lb |
| 32753 | 2,500 | 96 x 90 in | 300 lb |
| 32559 | 2,500 | 96 x 90 in | 343 lb |
| 32561 | 2,500 | 96 x 90 in | 298 lb |
| 32553 | 2,000 | 96 x 73 in | 263 lb |
| WG62 (green) | 2,600 | 96 x 91 in | 427 lb |
The 32753, 32559 and 32561 are the same 2,500 gallon shell in other colors and fittings, and the 32553 the 2,000 gallon step down 17 inches lower. The WG62 is the other green 2,600 on this base, an inch taller and heavier in the wall, for a buyer who wants the thicker tank outdoors.

Fittings and access
- Inlet: 1-1/2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting.
- Outlet: 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting, at the base; a flexible connector between the fitting and hard pipe, and the valve supported off the pad. For a fire reserve a larger outlet is specified at order.
- Access: 26 inch threaded, vented manway, wide enough to enter for cleaning.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
A 2 inch outlet feeds a pressure pump or a fire pump's suction without starving it, and the low shape keeps the suction flooded to the last few inches. Tee a sight tube off the outlet to read the level through the green wall, or fit a float gauge on the manway. Where it freezes, insulate or drain the outlet valve and the first length of pipe; the body takes ice from the top down without harm.
The usual assignments
Well storage for a house, a barn and a garden, a rain cistern under a large roof, stock water on a pasture, and a fire reserve of the kind the fire-water reservoir design guide describes, where the low center of gravity counts. Several of them are the storage stage of a reuse system for roof water and condensate, per the industrial water reuse tank topology article, where the dark wall keeps the stored water from turning green.
Lane rate, not class rate
The 32747 ships as LTL freight at class 400, the class light, bulky tanks take; the freight cost estimator quotes it to your ZIP, and what is listed here is the price before freight. Two people stand 300 pounds, or a forklift with long forks does it; at 96 inches across it goes outside. Fill it to the manway once, check both fittings, and keep a screen on the inlet and the vent. Write the fill date on the manway with a paint marker; it answers the first question anyone asks about a tank.
Freight and documents
Ships from: Merced, CA. LTL freight is quoted to your ZIP with the freight cost estimator or by phone at 866-418-1777. The listed price is before freight.
