2,500 gallons in green, 90 inches across, 106 tall
The Snyder WG61 is a green polyethylene water tank that holds 2,500 gallons on a 90 inch base at 106 inches tall, weighing 410 pounds. It shares its mold with the WG60 and sits 5 pounds lighter; both are the narrow, tall way to hold 2,500 gallons, with the heavy wall Snyder puts on its green tanks and a fitting set that plumbs with standard PVC adapters. Rated for a specific gravity of 1.0, water and liquids no heavier, with a 3 year warranty.

What a 90 inch base buys
A tank this shape fits where the 96 and 102 inch tanks will not: between a truck bay and a wall, in the corner of a pole barn, beside a well house. The floor is a 90 inch circle in full contact with a level base, carrying 20,850 pounds when full and sized by the method in the concrete pad sizing guide. The cost is height: strap the empty tank against wind, and plan a step for the 18 inch manway at 106 inches. The tank sizing calculator confirms the gallons before the base is poured.
Same volume, four footprints
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| WG61 (this tank) | 2,500 | 90 x 106 in | 410 lb |
| WG60 | 2,500 | 90 x 106 in | 415 lb |
| 32747 | 2,500 | 96 x 90 in | 300 lb |
| 32565, low profile | 2,500 | 102 x 84 in | 400 lb |
| WG62, bolted outlet | 2,600 | 96 x 91 in | 427 lb |
The 32747 is the standard-wall 2,500 gallon tank, 110 pounds lighter on a 96 inch base at 90 inches tall; the 32565 goes lower still at 84 inches on 102 inches of floor. The WG62 is the green tank with a stainless bolted outlet for a plumbed pump, 100 gallons more on a 96 inch base. The WG61 and WG60 are for the narrow site.

Openings as shipped
- Inlet: 1-1/2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting.
- Outlet: 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting, low on the sidewall.
- Access: 18 inch threaded, vented manway; keep the vent clear so a pump cannot pull the wall inward.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
A tall tank gives a gravity line real pressure; 106 inches of head runs a trough line or a drip zone without a pump. Level through an opaque green wall is a sight tube off the outlet or a float gauge through the manway.
Two narrow tanks on one manifold
The reason to buy a 90 inch tank is often that two of them fit where one 120 inch tank will not. Pair them at the outlet with a manifold and a valve on each leg, so one can be drained and cleaned while the other stays in service, and equalize them through the inlet side so a float valve on one fills both. Set the two pads as one slab, level across both, and strap each tank separately. In winter, insulate the manifold and the first run of pipe; the tank bodies take ice from the top down without harm, the fittings do not. Keep a screen on the inlet and the vent, and keep the manway lids tight against sunlight and dust.
The work it does
A 2,500 gallon fire reserve for a rural property, sized under NFPA 22 per the fire-water reservoir design guide; stock water and irrigation; and one stage of a commercial reuse train that pools roof water, grey water and condensate, per the industrial water reuse tank topology article. The tank sizing guide puts 2,500 gallons into days of supply.
Freight to your ZIP
At 90 inches across and 106 inches long on the deck the WG61 is oversize freight (NMFC 156600) on a flatbed at a lane rate; the freight cost estimator prices it for your ZIP, and the listed price is before freight. A forklift with long forks or four people stand 410 pounds on the pad. Strap it, then fill in stages with the base and fittings under watch, per the hydrostatic test methodology guide. Note the pad height and the outlet height on the site plan while the tape is out; the next pipe run will need both.
