The Snyder Industries 300 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank in green is a polyethylene vertical water storage tank built for residential, agricultural, and light-commercial water storage. It holds a true 300 gallons, stands 50 inches tall on a 46-by-46-inch footprint, and carries a 1.0 specific gravity rating, which means it is engineered for water and water-weight liquids rather than heavier chemical service. Below are the working specs, the freight reality, and the one sizing mistake to avoid before you set this tank on its pad.
Will it work for your site?
The footprint is 46 inches wide and 46 inches deep, so plan your pad and door clearances around that 46-by-46-inch base and a 50-inch overall height. Filled to capacity, this vertical storage tank carries 2,502 pounds of water, and the tank is rated for a maximum contents weight of 2,502 pounds at its 1.0 specific gravity rating, so it is sized for water, not for denser liquids. That full-water weight is the number that drives your pad and stand design, not the empty tank weight. If you are deciding between this 300 gallon size and a neighboring capacity, run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide first, and the 300 gallon green water tank buyer's guide walks through how this capacity gets specified.
Fittings and access
This vertical storage tank comes configured with an 18-inch polyethylene manway that includes a 4-inch vent and tie-down, giving you top access for cleaning and inspection. The 4-inch vent is not cosmetic: it lets the tank breathe so it does not pull a vacuum and collapse on a fast draw-down or build pressure on a fast fill. The fitting set includes a 2-inch standard bulkhead fitting in polypropylene with an EPDM gasket, which most installers run as the low gravity-feed or drain outlet, plus a 1-1/2-inch eco-bulkhead fitting with EPDM seal that works well as a supply or return connection, and a flange. The EPDM gaskets and polypropylene fitting bodies are matched to water service. Confirm the exact fitting locations and heights against the technical drawing on this page before you plumb your supply and outlet lines, since fitting position determines your usable draw-down and your overflow routing.
What to get right before you order
The compatibility boundary on this tank is simple: EPDM and polypropylene are the correct materials for water and water-weight liquids, but EPDM is not chemical-rated, and the 1.0 specific gravity rating caps the contents at water density. If your service is heavier than water or involves a chemical, this is not the tank for it, and a higher specific-gravity vertical is the right call. Call 866-418-1777 before you buy so we can match the resin and SG rating to your liquid rather than guessing. For water service as listed, this 300 gallon vertical is sized and configured exactly for the job.
Freight: how it gets to you
This tank ships LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Marked Tree, Arkansas, the nearest named ship point for this SKU. Freight is quoted live to your ZIP code rather than rolled into the list price, so use the Freight Cost Estimator to get your freight quote before you order, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it for you. The 46-by-46-inch base is wider in one dimension than a standard 48-by-40 pallet, so this tank moves on an oversized skid, which is why you should plan for a liftgate or forklift at the delivery end. For fire-water and reservoir planning, the fire-water reservoir design guide and, for grey-water and rainwater trains, the industrial water reuse topology guide both show where a vertical water storage tank this size fits. Set the tank on a level, fully supported base sized per the concrete pad sizing framework. Questions on this 300 gallon tank? Call 866-418-1777.
