The Snyder Industries 2650 Gallon ASTM Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a molded polyethylene vertical storage tank built for bulk water and high-density liquid duty. It holds a rated 2,650 gallons in a 102-inch by 102-inch footprint and stands 97 inches tall, so plan your slab and overhead clearance to those numbers before it arrives. The black resin blocks light to slow algae growth in outdoor water service, and the tank carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating that gives you real headroom on liquids heavier than water.
Will this tank work for your job?
Sizing starts with weight, not just gallons. Filled with plain water, this vertical tank carries roughly 22,101 pounds of contents; at its full 1.9 specific gravity rating it is engineered for up to 41,992 pounds of liquid. That spread is the whole point of the heavy-duty wall: you can store liquids heavier than water without exceeding the weight the tank is designed to hold. Run your target liquid's specific gravity through the Tank Sizing Calculator and read the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm the tank and your pad both suit the loaded weight.
Fittings and access
The tank comes configured as separate ports you can map to your plumbing: a flange, an 18-inch polyethylene threaded-vented fitting that provides tank venting already sized at 18 inches, a 12-inch by 13.5-inch fitting/S.U.M.O., and a standard S.U.M.O. fitting. For service, it carries a manway with 15-inch access, giving you an interior inspection and cleanout point large enough to confirm a pump or gauge will fit before you order. Treat those as distinct inlet, outlet, vent, and drain candidates, and bring your fitting sizes and gasket material to the technical drawing on this page so you match thread and flange details before buying adapters.
Getting it to your site
This is a large vertical tank, so it ships by LTL freight from Snyder's plant in Marked Tree, Arkansas. Freight is quoted live to your ZIP code rather than bundled into the listed price, which keeps your cost honest whether you are two states away or across the country. Get a number in seconds with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call us at 866-418-1777 and we will work the quote with you. A tank this size needs a forklift or loading equipment to receive it, so arrange offload before the truck shows up.
The mistake to avoid
The 1.9 specific gravity rating is a ceiling, not a target. It means the tank body is built to safely hold liquids up to 1.9 times the weight of water, but you still have to verify that your specific liquid falls at or under that figure, and that your gasket and fitting materials suit that liquid too, since weight alone is not the whole picture. Operators storing dense liquids get into trouble by sizing on gallons alone and ignoring density. The 102-inch by 102-inch footprint is also your base pad dimension, and the loaded weight is what your slab has to carry, so our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the framework. For fire-water and reservoir planning, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers the sizing discipline for rural and remote sites.
