Snyder Industries 2600 Gallon XLPE Cone Bottom Tank

A tall cone for a tight floor

At 90 inches across and 139 inches tall, 5100000N40 holds its volume in height rather than floor. Those 139 inches of tank sits on a stand, and the stand has to leave room under the cone for a valve, a hose and a drum or a pump. Add both, then add the clearance someone needs to open the manway, and compare the total against the lowest fixed thing over the spot. Outdoors that is rarely a problem; in a building it decides the order.

The translucent wall is the practical reason to choose white. You can read the level by eye, watch a batch settle, and spot sediment in the cone without opening the top. The trade off is light: a white tank in sun grows algae in water and is the wrong choice for light sensitive products, which is what the black version is for. For a permanent gauge, our level gauge selection guide compares the four common types.

What to check before you buy

1. Outlet. No outlet size is listed for this tank. Give us the line size, the valve and the liquid, and we will confirm the fitting before you order.
2. Manway. 18 inch, threaded and vented, on top. Fill through it or plumb a fill line beside it, and keep the vent open while you pump out.
3. Stand. The cone needs a stand, bought separately. The cone bottom tank stand compatibility matrix shows which stands match which tanks; the drawing linked under Technical Drawing on this page has the cone geometry.
4. Liquid. 1.5 specific gravity is the limit. Check yours in the chemical compatibility guide; the pages buyers of this size open most are urea solution, DEF, aluminum sulfate, calcium chloride and sodium carbonate.
5. Labels and containment. Our guide to labelling bulk polyethylene tanks covers the signage, and the Captor containment comparison covers spill containment.

This 2,600 gallon shell also comes as the black 5100000N46, the heavy duty 5100000N42 and the black heavy duty 5100000N48. Pick heavy duty if the liquid is heavier than 1.5 times water. A size down is the 2,500 gallon cone 5110000N40; a size up is the 3,000 gallon cone 5150000N40. Check the volume with the tank sizing calculator.

Shipping and receiving

5100000N40 ships by freight at class 400 from Snyder's plant in Lincoln, Nebraska, as a 90 by 90 by 139 inch load at 500 lb. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the cost to your ZIP. A tank this tall needs a plan for the offload, so tell us what equipment you have on site. Set and level the stand first. At the tailgate, match the part number to the bill of lading and look over the shell and the cone for damage. Fill it with water first and check the manway and stand before it carries product.
