The Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon HDLPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (SKU SII-7410000N45) is a 102-inch-diameter, 96-inch-tall white vertical storage tank molded from High Density Linear Polyethylene and rated for liquids up to a 1.9 specific gravity. That high SG rating is the headline spec: it means this vertical tank is engineered to hold liquids substantially heavier than water, which gives you real structural margin when you store plain water. With a full water weight of 25,020 lb and a maximum rated contents weight of 47,538 lb, this is a serious bulk-water vessel for fire reserve, agricultural, rainwater, and industrial process-water storage.
Will it work for your site?
This vertical tank stands on a 102.0 x 102.0 inch footprint at 96 inches tall, so it carries its 3000 gallons in a stable, compact column rather than a sprawling low-profile shape. Confirm the pad first: a full tank puts 25,020 lb of water on the slab, and the 1.9 SG construction takes the same shell to a maximum rated contents weight of 47,538 lb. Pour a level, properly sized concrete or compacted pad rated for that load before you fill. The white HDLPE shell is the standard color most buyers choose for outdoor water storage. For a quick check on whether 3000 gallons matches your draw-down and refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to a footprint.
Fittings, drawing, and sizing detail
Refer to the technical drawing on this page for the molded-in fitting and outlet locations specific to this 3000 gallon Snyder vertical tank, along with the confirmed height and diameter callouts. Because outlet and bulkhead placement drives your plumbing layout, plan your manifold around the drawing rather than assuming a generic location. If you are sizing this tank into a private fire-protection reserve, our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design and NFPA 22 sizing walks through reserve calculation and cold-climate freeze protection for polyethylene tanks. For deeper reading, several other 3000-gallon vertical builds have their own complete buyer's guides, including this 102 x 93 natural-white unit and a 95 x 109 variant with different footprints than this 102 x 102 tank.
The mistake to avoid
Do not under-build the foundation. Buyers size the tank correctly and then set it on bare dirt or an undersized pad; at 25,020 lb full of water, the tank will settle unevenly, stress the shell, and shorten its service life. The 1.9 SG rating is a structural reserve, not a license to skip the pad. Size your base to the full rated load, keep it level, and support the entire 102-inch footprint.
