300 gallons through a 36 inch doorway
The Snyder 32499 is a black high density linear polyethylene water tank that holds 300 gallons in a shell 36 inches across and 72 inches tall, weighing 57 pounds. Thirty-six inches is the number: it goes through a standard door, stands in a utility closet or a well house, and rides in a pickup bed. Black keeps light out of the water, so it stays clear of algae. Full-size fittings for its volume, a 1-1/2 inch inlet, a 2 inch outlet and a 20 inch vented manway, and a rating of 1.0 specific gravity for water and liquids no heavier.

A tall, narrow tank indoors
Twice as tall as it is wide, the 32499 wants a level floor and a strap to a wall or a post, because 2,502 pounds of water on a 36 inch circle has a high center of gravity. Indoors that is a stud and a ratchet strap; outdoors it is two straps to anchors. The 35 x 89 inch 300 gallon buyers guide and the 46 x 50 inch 300 gallon buyers guide compare the tall and squat shapes at this volume across makers; the tank sizing calculator tells you whether 300 gallons covers the draw.
Snyder's 200 to 330 gallon verticals
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32499 (this tank, black) | 300 | 36 x 72 in | 57 lb |
| 32613, mocha | 300 | 36 x 72 in | 57 lb |
| WB21, heavy wall | 300 | 35 x 81 in | 65 lb |

| 32495 | 200 | 40 x 42 in | 33 lb |
The 32613 is this tank in mocha. The WB21 is the heavy-wall 300, an inch narrower and 9 inches taller with 8 more pounds of resin. The WG23 is the same 300 gallons laid low, 46 inches across and 50 tall, for the crawl space or the truck bed where height is the problem. The 32495 is the 200 gallon step down.

Ports and lid
- Inlet: 1-1/2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting.
- Outlet: 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting at the base.
- Access: 20 inch threaded, vented manway.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
A 2 inch outlet on a 300 gallon tank feeds a small pressure pump without starving it, and 72 inches of head gives a garden hose a usable trickle by gravity. A 20 inch manway on a 36 inch tank reaches the whole floor for cleaning. Tee a sight tube off the outlet to read the level through the black wall.
Typical duty
Well buffer in a utility room, rain cistern beside a downspout, emergency water in a garage, hauling water in a pickup, and one cell of a small fire reserve of the kind the fire-water reservoir design guide describes. Several of them are the storage stage of a small reuse system for roof water and condensate, per the industrial water reuse tank topology article; the tank sizing guide covers days of supply.
Shipping the tank
The 32499 ships palletized as LTL freight (NMFC 156600-02) at a class rate; the freight cost estimator shows it for your ZIP, and the listed price is before freight. One person carries 57 pounds through the door. Strap it, fill it to the manway once, and check both fittings before it goes to work; keep a screen on the inlet and the vent. Keep the delivery paperwork with the tank; the serial number on the shell is what a warranty claim starts from.

Ships from: Merced, CA; Albertville, AL. LTL freight is quoted to your ZIP with the freight cost estimator or by phone at 866-418-1777. The listed price is before freight.
