The Snyder Industries 35 Gallon ASTM XLPE Vertical Storage Tank is a compact, black crosslinked polyethylene vertical storage tank standing 36 inches tall on a 22-by-22-inch footprint, built for above-ground storage. It carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, so it is engineered to hold liquids heavier than water by density — a heavier-duty structural rating than a standard water-only vertical tank of this size.
Will it work for your site?
At 35 gallons, a full load of water weighs about 292 pounds. The 555-pound figure is the tank's maximum rated contents weight — the structural ceiling at its 1.9 specific gravity rating, not the weight of a water fill — so size your stand for your actual liquid, not the rating limit. Either way, plan your pad and any elevated stand around a loaded weight, not the empty tank; our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks covers the ACI framework for getting that base right. The narrow 22-inch square footprint fits through most doorways and into tight equipment rooms, well pits, and skid-mounted setups where a wider vertical tank will not go. The crosslinked (XLPE) wall is heavier-duty and more stress-crack resistant than standard HDPE, which is why this tank steps above a plain water-only vertical. If you are weighing the two materials, our guide on Snyder XLPE vs HDPE: When Crosslinking Matters walks through when crosslinking earns its place, and for denser contents the Captor freeboard sizing guide explains how thermal expansion and density affect the volume you can actually use. The Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm 35 gallons matches your draw and refill cycle.
Fittings and configuration
Per the technical drawing on this page, this vertical storage tank is configured with a 6-inch polyethylene threaded, vented fitting and a cap with a 4.5-inch access opening. The vented fitting keeps the tank from pulling a vacuum or pressurizing as it fills and drains — important on any tank you cycle regularly. Review the technical drawing on this page for exact fitting placement before you plumb your inlet and outlet.
