The Snyder Industries 4300 Gallon Black Vertical Storage Tank is bulk water storage built for above-ground service, holding 4,300 gallons in a 120-inch diameter body that stands 104 inches tall. Molded from polyethylene and rated to a 1.5 specific gravity, this black vertical tank blocks light from the stored water and gives the structural wall plenty of margin over a full water column, making it a workhorse for rural fire reserves, irrigation supply, water reuse trains, and general bulk storage on a prepared pad. It ships LTL from Chowchilla, CA, quoted live to your ZIP, which keeps freight tight for West Coast and inland-West sites.
Will it work for your site?
This is a squat vertical: 120-inch diameter and 104 inches tall, so confirm both your pad area and overhead clearance before ordering. Filled with water the contents weigh roughly 35,862 pounds, and at the tank's full 1.5 specific-gravity rating the maximum rated contents weight is 53,793 pounds. That load is exactly why the foundation matters: a tank this size belongs on a properly sized, level, fully supporting concrete pad. Walk through the load math in our concrete pad sizing guide for above-ground polyethylene tanks, and if you are still settling on capacity, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match volume to demand. Review the technical drawing on this page for dimensional detail before you set anchors or plumb connections.
Sizing it into a water system
At 4,300 gallons this vertical storage tank can anchor a serious storage stack on its own. For rural and remote fire protection, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate service. If you are aggregating grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, the industrial water reuse tank topology guide walks through quality-banded storage trains and treatment sequencing so this storage tank lands in the right stage. And when you are pinning down usable versus nominal volume on a 4,300-gallon column, our freeboard sizing guide per ASTM D1998 shows how thermal expansion and headspace shape the real volume you can actually draw.
The mistake to avoid
The biggest error on a tank this large is underbuilding the foundation. At full water you are still supporting nearly 18 tons, and the concrete and subgrade must be sized for it; the 1.5 specific-gravity rating is structural headroom, not a license to skip the pad. A weak or unlevel base is what cracks tanks and voids warranties. The second error is plumbing blind: outlet, bulkhead, and gasket selection are not detailed in this listing, so call 866-418-1777 to confirm outlet size, bulkhead fitting, and gasket material against your suction and fill lines before you order, and check those locations against the technical drawing on this page.
