The Snyder Industries 300 Gallon Plastic Vertical Water Storage Tank in Black is a 1.0 specific-gravity vertical water storage tank built for general-purpose water service. It stands 81 inches tall on a 35 x 35-inch footprint, so it slips through standard gates and stages tight against a wall or pump house while holding a full 300 gallons. Molded from high-density linear polyethylene in black to slow algae growth from light penetration, this tank covers the everyday need for dependable water storage, rural fill stations, and buffer capacity ahead of a pump.
Will it work for your site?
Plan your pad and your plumbing around real numbers. At 300 gallons, full water weight is 2,502 pounds, which is also the maximum rated contents weight for this tank at SG 1.0 - size your base to carry that load on a flat, fully supported surface. The 35.0 x 35.0-inch footprint with an 81-inch height makes this a tall, narrow vertical that suits low-ceiling spaces and narrow side yards, but that same height-to-footprint ratio means an empty tank can tip in wind. Use the molded tie point in the manway to strap or anchor the tank on exposed or elevated installs. If you are matching draw rate, refill, and headroom to your application, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
Fittings and access
This vertical storage tank comes plumbing-ready. The technical drawing on this page shows a molded-in flange, a 1-1/2-inch polypropylene Eco-Bulkhead fitting with EPDM textured seals, and a 2-inch standard polypropylene/EPDM bulkhead fitting for your supply and outlet connections. Because both ports seat against EPDM, order your camlocks, valves, and hose adapters in the matching 1-1/2-inch and 2-inch sizes with EPDM-compatible gaskets so everything seals on the first fit. Up top, an 18-inch polyethylene assembled manway with a 4-inch vent and tie provision gives you fill and inspection access. That 4-inch vent is what keeps the tank from collapsing under fast draw-down, so keep it clear and unobstructed and match high-flow pump draw to its capacity. Confirm each port location against your pump and overflow plan using the technical drawing before you set the tank.
