Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon ASTM XLPE Vertical Storage Tank

Where it goes

At 96 inches tall the manway is reached from a step, not a ladder, which is why pools, small water systems and packing houses put this shell in a chemical room for hypochlorite, sanitizer or a thin process chemical, and why it works as a water tank under an existing roof. Full of water it puts 25,020 lb on a 102 inch circle, and a rotationally moulded floor bears on all of it, so the slab is poured level and in full contact; our concrete pad sizing guide covers the design. Keep light-sensitive liquids indoors or in shade, because the wall is translucent. Check 3,000 gallons against your draw and delivery interval with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide. Where a second wall is required, the Captor double wall freeboard guide shows what containment costs in usable volume; where the tank sits in a reuse train, the industrial water reuse tank topology article shows where a low 3,000 fits; and for a fire reserve, read the fire water reservoir guide first.

What to check before you buy

1. The liquid. Up to 1.5 specific gravity and 140 F in this tank. Check it in the chemical compatibility guide; for a denser liquid, ask us about the heavy duty wall of the same shell.
2. The outlet. Tell us the liquid and the pipe size you are connecting and we confirm the fitting that goes in the wall. Mount the pump low so the suction stays flooded, put the first valve on its own support, and connect to hard pipe through a flexible connector.
3. The manway. An 18 inch threaded vented manway, 96 inches up. Fill through a dip tube to the floor, keep the lid shut between deliveries, and run the vent outdoors on a liquid that fumes. A Snyder drawing for the 7410000 shell is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

The same 3,000 gallons on a slimmer, taller shell: the 3000 gallon black tank, the 3000 gallon black heavy duty tank and the 3000 gallon 1.35 SG black tank. A little smaller on nearly the same footprint: the 2650 gallon heavy duty tank. In white, one step up: the 3500 gallon white vertical tank.

Shipping and receiving

The 7410000N40 ships LTL at freight class 400 from the nearest of Snyder's plants in Chowchilla, CA, Lincoln, NE and Philippi, WV, strapped to a skid at 102 by 102 by 96 inches and 575 lb. A tank this wide is an oversize load, so if the estimator hands you to the phone, call us with the ZIP. Measure the door and the route to the room before the truck comes. A forklift sets it with straps under the body, never through the manway. Check the part number 7410000N40 on the bill of lading, look over the shell for transit damage, and fill it with water first, holding it a day while you watch the pad edge and the outlet fitting, before anything else goes in.
