The Snyder Industries 4100 Gallon Black Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 7360000C37-BLACK) is a polyethylene vertical storage tank built for high-volume water and liquid storage where a large, stable footprint matters. It stands 130 inches tall on a 102 x 102 inch base and holds 4,100 gallons, which suits it to fire-water reservoirs, rural and remote site water supply, industrial water reuse, and general bulk water storage. The tank is black and carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, so it is engineered to hold liquids heavier than water within that limit.
Will it work for your site?
Plan the slab and the structure around the loaded weight, not the empty shell. Filled with water (specific gravity 1.0), this vertical storage tank carries roughly 34,194 pounds of contents. At its full 1.5 specific gravity rating it is engineered to hold up to about 51,291 pounds of contents, so any liquid in that range needs a foundation rated for it. The 102 x 102 inch footprint is what your pad has to support and bound, and the 130 inch height drives clearance, fill access, and overhead piping. If you are unsure whether 4,100 gallons matches your draw-down and refill cycle, run the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit. For a permanent install, size the slab correctly the first time using our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks. See the technical drawing on this page for detailed dimensions, and call 866-418-1777 to confirm available inlet, outlet, and bulkhead fitting sizes and gasket options before you order, since those are not spec'd in this listing.
Fit for fire-water and water-reuse duty
A black vertical tank this size is frequently specified as a stored-water reservoir for private fire protection on properties without municipal hydrants. Our guide to fire-water reservoir tank design for rural and remote sites walks through NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate service. The same tank also fits an industrial water reuse train, aggregating grey water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate into quality-banded bulk storage.
The mistake to avoid
Do not match this tank to a liquid heavier than its rating. The 1.5 specific gravity rating is the ceiling: it covers water and many heavier liquids, but a denser fluid above 1.5 will overload the wall no matter how much volume you put in, so confirm the specific gravity of whatever you intend to store against that 1.5 number first. Keep two failure modes separate, too: the SG rating governs weight loading only, not chemical resistance, so if you are storing anything other than water, confirm polyethylene chemical compatibility for your specific fluid rather than assuming a sub-1.5 SG makes it safe. For liquids near or above 1.5 SG, or where secondary containment is required, step up to a double-wall design and review our guide on Snyder Captor double-wall freeboard sizing per ASTM D1998. And remember that the contents weight, not the empty tank, drives every load calculation for the pad, anchoring, and any elevated structure.
Freight
This tank ships by LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Philippi, West Virginia, and freight is quoted live to your ZIP code. On a tank this size, LTL cost scales hard with distance from West Virginia, so pull a live quote before you budget. Because the tank stands 130 inches tall and arrives curbside on an LTL truck, confirm overhead clearance and forklift or crane access for offload at your site. Get an exact number with our Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 for help confirming fit, lead time, and delivery for your 4,100 gallon black vertical storage tank.
