The Snyder Industries 2650 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a white, high-density linear polyethylene vertical storage tank built and certified to ASTM standards and rated to the maximum 1.5 specific gravity standard. It stands 97 inches tall on a 102 x 102 inch footprint - a low aspect ratio that sits stable on a square pad while giving you serious volume in a compact pad area. The 1.5 SG ceiling is the top of the standard rating ladder, so it covers water, fire-water reserves, and high-solids water service without stepping up to a different tank.
Will it work for your site?
Filled with water, this vertical storage tank carries roughly 22,101 pounds of contents; at its full 1.5 specific gravity rating it is engineered for up to 33,152 pounds of liquid weight. That 22,101 lb figure is the water content, not a shipping weight - confirm the empty tank weight on the technical drawing on this page when you plan the lift-gate or forklift offload. Set the 102 x 102 inch footprint on a level, full-contact pad sized to the loaded weight; the low height-to-base ratio keeps anchoring simple, but the pad still has to carry the heaviest case. Our Concrete Pad Sizing for Above-Ground Polyethylene Tanks guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework and the ACI 318 boundary for exactly this kind of load. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 2,650 gallons matches your draw and refill cycle before you commit.
Fittings and access
The technical drawing on this page calls out five penetrations: a flange, an 18-inch polyethylene threaded-vented fitting, a manway with 15-inch access, a 12 x 13.5 inch fitting/S.U.M.O., and an additional FTG/S.U.M.O. The 18-inch PE threaded-vented fitting is your vent path, the 15-inch-access manway is the inspection and maintenance port, and the flange plus S.U.M.O. fittings are your bulkhead connection points for inlet, outlet, and overflow. Confirm gasket material on each penetration against the stored liquid, and verify every fitting location and elevation against the drawing before you plumb. Because this is an ASTM-certified HDPE vertical storage tank, the vapor-saturated headspace region matters for long-term integrity - to understand why, read HDPE Tank Wall Thickness at the Vapor-Saturated Headspace.
The mistake to avoid
The common error on a tank this size is sizing the pad and anchoring for water weight when the tank is rated to 1.5 SG service. If your liquid is denser than water, your real design load is closer to 33,152 pounds, not 22,101 - undersizing the foundation is how these installations fail. For fire-water reserve duty, size to the standard, not just the gallons; our Fire-Water Reservoir Tank Design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate sites.
