A 2,500 gallon black heavy duty cone bottom tank, rated 1.9
Snyder Industries part number 5110000N48 is a heavy duty 2,500 gallon cone bottom tank in black crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE). The shell is 90 inches in diameter and 125 inches tall, it weighs 400 lb empty, and it has an 18 inch threaded vented manway on top. The wall is rated for liquids up to 1.9 specific gravity, with a service limit of 100 F (37 C). 2,500 gallons of water weighs 20,850 lb (2,500 x 8.34); at the full 1.9 rating, contents can weigh about 39,615 lb. Black keeps light off the liquid, and the cone drains the tank to one point.

What heavy duty and black buy you
The 1.9 rating is the reason to choose this tank. A standard wall is rated 1.5; liquids heavier than that, up to 1.9 times the weight of water, belong in a heavy duty wall. Get the specific gravity from your product's data sheet before you order, and call us if it is close to the limit. Our article on when crosslinking matters for chemical duty explains the material.
Black stops daylight at the wall. That matters outdoors and for products that react to light, and it stops algae in anything water based. You give up reading the level by eye, so plan a gauge with the tank. At 90 inches across and 125 inches tall plus a stand, measure the height before the order goes in, and allow room under the cone for the valve and the receiving line.
What to check before you buy
- Outlet. No outlet size is listed for 5110000N48. Give us the line size, the valve and the chemical, and we will confirm the fitting and gasket before you order.
- Manway. 18 inch threaded vented manway on top; keep the vent open when draining.
- Stand. A cone needs a stand, and this one must carry about 39,615 lb of contents at the full rating. Use the cone bottom tank stand compatibility matrix, and check the cone on the drawing linked under Technical Drawing on this page.
- Liquid. Check the chemical in the chemical compatibility guide. Heavy duty buyers most often check ferric sulfate, ferric chloride, aluminum sulfate, potassium hydroxide and calcium chloride.
The same shell, and the sizes either side
Other versions of the 5110000 tank are the natural white 5110000N40, the 5110000N46 and the 5110000N49; each page carries its own rating, so compare before you choose. A size down is the 2,000 gallon cone, a size up the 2,600 gallon cone. Our 2,500 gallon cone bottom buyer's guide covers the capacity, and the tank sizing calculator checks your volume.
