A heavy-wall 400 gallon tank with the fitting installed
The Snyder 1740000C26 is a 400 gallon vertical storage tank in white high density linear polyethylene, 45 inches across and 64 inches tall, that weighs 185 pounds, which is more than twice the resin of the standard 400 gallon tank in the same shape. Its wall is rated for a specific gravity of 1.9, or 6,338 pounds of contents against 3,336 for water, and it ships with a 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead outlet already installed under an 18 inch threaded, vented manway. It is the 400 gallon tank for a liquid heavier than water and a site that will work the tank hard.

What the extra wall is for
A rotationally molded tank's empty weight is its wall thickness, and 185 pounds against 85 in the same 45 by 64 inch shape is a shell that resists creep under a dense liquid, holds its shape through years of sun and thermal cycling, and carries pipe and a valve at the outlet without oval-ing the fitting. Full, it puts 6,338 pounds on a 45 inch circle at the rating; a slab, a paver pad or compacted gravel in full contact supports that, and the concrete pad sizing guide covers a shared slab. The tank sizing calculator confirms 400 gallons against the draw or the delivery interval, and the tank sizing guide covers the reserve.
Near 400 gallons
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1740000C26 (this tank, heavy wall) | 400 | 45 x 64 in | 185 lb |
| 32306, tall | 400 | 40 x 80 in | 115 lb |
| 1008200N52, low | 330 | 47 x 50 in | 108 lb |
| 32669, water tank | 500 | 48 x 73 in | 95 lb |
The 32306 is the same 400 gallons 16 inches taller on a base 5 inches narrower, with a lighter wall, for the corner that has height and no floor. The 1008200N52 is the low tank at 50 inches for 330 gallons, and the 32669 is a plain water tank at 500 gallons and 95 pounds, which shows how much of this tank's weight is wall.

Where the pipe goes
- Outlet: 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting at the bottom of the sidewall, factory installed; a PVC or CPVC adapter with a compatible sealant, a flexible transition, and a valve supported off the floor.
- Access: 18 inch threaded, vented manway.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
Sixty-four inches of head over a 2 inch outlet floods a pump suction or gives a hose a usable gravity flow. A white tank shows its level in daylight; in a pump room, a sight tube off the outlet. Strap it outdoors, keep the vent clear, and fill through a dip tube if the liquid is dense.
Put to use
Brine for a softener, fertilizer on a small farm, treatment chemicals at a small system, and water where a thick wall is wanted outdoors; with water in it, a well buffer, a rain cistern, one cell of the small fire reserve the fire-water reservoir design guide describes, or the storage stage of a small roof-water reuse system, per the industrial water reuse tank topology article.
Freight, in plain terms
The 1740000C26 ships palletized as LTL freight (NMFC 156600-03) at a class rate; the freight cost estimator shows it for your ZIP, and the listed price is before freight. Two people carry 185 pounds. Thread the outlet adapter, fill in stages per the hydrostatic test methodology guide in miniature, and check the fitting before it goes into service. Save the pallet; a tank that ever has to move again is easier to move on it.
