A 3,900 gallon natural white heavy duty cone bottom tank, 180 inches tall
The Snyder Industries 5440000N42 is a 3,900 gallon heavy duty cone bottom tank in natural white crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE). It is 90 inches in diameter and 180 inches tall and weighs 1,400 lb empty. Snyder rates the heavy duty wall for liquids up to 1.9 specific gravity, with a service limit of 100 F, and puts an 18 inch threaded vented manway on top. The natural white wall lets you see the liquid level from outside without opening the lid. The cone bottom gathers the whole contents, solids included, at one low point, so the tank drains fully between batches and cleans out easily.

Fitting it under the roof and onto the slab
Height is the first thing to settle in a treatment building or a chemical room, where the stand and the overhead space both eat into what the roof allows. Add the stand height and room over the manway to the 180 inches and compare it with the lowest beam or light fixture over the spot. Then plan for weight: 3,900 gallons x 8.34 lb = 32,526 lb of water, and 3,900 x 8.34 x 1.9 = 61,799 lb at the full rating. The stand carries that on its legs, so the slab has to be level, sound and rated for it.
What to check before you buy
- The liquid. Check it in the chemical compatibility guide. Heavy duty buyers in treatment work often check aluminum sulfate, polyaluminum chloride, ferrous sulfate and hydrofluosilicic acid. Our article on Snyder XLPE vs HDPE explains the resin.
- The stand. Use the cone bottom tank stand compatibility matrix and confirm the stand for 5440000N42 with us.
- The outlet. The outlet size is not listed. Tell us the pipe size and valve you need at the cone and we confirm the fitting.
- The level. You can read it through the white wall; for a remote reading or high level alarm, see the level gauge selection guide.
- The temperature. Contents stay at or below 100 F.
