The Snyder Industries 275 Gallon ASTM XLPE Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) vertical storage tank built for demanding above-ground water and liquid storage. It holds 275 gallons, stands 59 inches tall on a 47 x 47 inch footprint, and molds in Natural White. Its 1.9 specific-gravity rating means the wall is engineered for liquids far heavier than water, so buyers searching XLPE tanks, Snyder vertical tanks, and heavy-duty storage tanks land on this unit for good reason.
Does it fit your job?
Filled with plain water, this tank carries roughly 2,294 pounds of contents; at its full 1.9 specific-gravity rating it is built to hold up to about 4,358 pounds of liquid — the equivalent of a liquid near 15.9 pounds per gallon, versus the 8.34 pounds per gallon of water. That headroom is why it suits dense brines and heavier fills, not just potable water. The 47 x 47 inch footprint and 59-inch height determine your pad and clearance, so confirm both against your site before ordering. Sizing a bulk hold or a fire-water reservoir? Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide work out usable volume, and the guide to fire-water reservoir design under NFPA 22 covers rural and remote-site storage. Note that 275 gallons is nominal capacity; for dense or thermally expanding liquids, plan freeboard, since usable volume runs below the nameplate figure (see the Snyder freeboard sizing guide).
Fittings and access
Per the technical drawing on this page, this tank is configured with a flange, an 18-inch PE threaded and vented lid, and a manway with 15-inch access. The 15-inch manway is your serviceable entry point — the opening you reach through to clean, inspect, or set internal plumbing — so confirm the manway lid gasket seats fully before you pressurize a fill line. Because the outlet thread size isn't published in the listing spec, reference the technical drawing on this page for exact port locations, or confirm with us at 866-418-1777, before you order a bulkhead fitting or adapter and plumb the outlet.
Why choose crosslinked polyethylene
XLPE differs from standard HDPE in how the resin is bonded, which matters most when the stored liquid is dense or aggressive rather than plain water. If you are weighing the two, Snyder XLPE vs HDPE explains when crosslinking earns its keep. For above-ground installs, size your foundation right the first time with our guide to concrete pad sizing for polyethylene tanks. The most common mistake on a heavy-duty vertical tank like this one is setting it on unlevel or under-built ground; at more than 4,000 pounds fully loaded, a poor pad is the failure point, not the tank.
