The Snyder Industries 2650 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank is a black, crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) vertical storage tank built for heavy-duty water and high-density liquid duty. Built as an ASTM XLPE tank with a 1.9 specific gravity rating, it carries a taller safety margin than the standard 1.5-SG water tank, so it holds up under dense contents without pushing the wall design. It stands 97 inches tall on a 102 x 102 inch footprint, giving you a stable, large-diameter base that spreads load evenly on a prepared pad.
Will this tank work for your site?
At full capacity this tank holds 2,650 gallons. Filled with plain water it carries roughly 22,101 lb of contents, and its 1.9-SG rating allows a maximum rated contents weight of about 41,992 lb for denser liquids. That works out to roughly 15.8 lb per gallon before the tank hits its rating, so you can check your fluid's density against that ceiling directly. Use those numbers to plan your foundation and confirm your pad can carry the full standing load before you fill. The 102 x 102 inch footprint and 97-inch height need to be checked against your door clearances, overhead room, and any secondary containment. If you are between sizes, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match capacity to your real draw and refill cycle.
Fittings and access
The tank ships configured with a flange, an 18-inch polyethylene threaded vented fitting, a manway with 15-inch access, and two S.U.M.O. fittings — one 12 x 13.5 inch unit plus a second S.U.M.O. fitting — so count both when you lay out your inlet, outlet, and drain connections. The vented top fitting is important on a vertical storage tank: it lets the tank breathe as you fill and draw so you do not pull a vacuum or pressurize the dome. The 15-inch manway sits on top of a 97-inch-tall tank, so your overhead clearance needs to exceed 97 inches plus room to open and enter the manway for the inspection and cleaning it is there for. Confirm the fitting positions and elevations against the technical drawing on this page before you plumb the tank so your connections land where your piping expects them.
Why XLPE matters here
This is a crosslinked (XLPE) tank, not standard HDPE. Crosslinking gives the wall better resistance to stress cracking and impact, which is why Snyder rates it to a higher 1.9 specific gravity — the top of the water-storage stack rather than a step toward a heavier tank. The common mistake is treating an XLPE storage tank like a chemical tank by default. This unit is spec'd as a black water and general storage tank; if your application is chemical, verify the specific chemistry, concentration, and temperature against the manufacturer's chemical-resistance data and the tank's SG rating first. Check the fitting gasket and seal material too — the flange, threaded vent, S.U.M.O., and manway all seal on gaskets or o-rings that are a separate material from the XLPE wall, and the gasket is usually the first thing an aggressive fluid attacks. For background on where crosslinking earns its keep, see Snyder XLPE vs HDPE: When Crosslinking Matters; if this is a fire-water reservoir, the NFPA 22 reservoir sizing guide covers freeboard and cold-climate detail, and set it on a properly engineered pad per the concrete pad sizing framework.
