Snyder Industries 4400 Gallon ASTM XLPE Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

Dense chemistry in a narrow alley

This tank is bought where the liquid is heavy and the ground is spoken for: a coagulant or a dense treatment chemical squeezed between two tanks already on the pad, a heavy agricultural solution at a co-op with a long, narrow yard, a plating or pickling bath in a tall bay with no floor to spare. The price of a 90 inch footprint is 182 inches of height, so measure the clear height under the lowest steel first. The 1.9 rating is the reason to pick this part number over the 1.5 rated version of the same shell; if your liquid is at or near the weight of water, the lighter wall does the job for less. Our guide to when crosslinked polyethylene matters for chemical duty explains what the XLPE wall does for you, and the chemical compatibility guide is where to check the liquid before you order. A tall, narrow tank concentrates its load: over 36,696 lb on a 90 inch circle when full, the heaviest load per square foot in this size range, so the slab is engineered, level and in full contact under the whole base per the concrete pad sizing guide. Empty, at 1,450 lb and 182 inches tall, it has the highest centre of gravity of anything in the family, so anchor it to the slab before the first fill and check the straps after the first windy week and again after the first full summer. Size the volume against your draw in the tank sizing calculator and take the reserve and freeboard from the tank sizing guide.

Openings and what to check before you buy

1. Manway. An 18 inch threaded vented manway on top, 182 inches up. That is a fixed platform with a rail, designed with the pad rather than added the following year. Fill through a dip tube to the floor so a heavy liquid does not free-fall the height of the shell, and size the vent path to the delivery pump.
2. Outlet. No outlet fitting is listed on this product. Tell us the liquid, the pipe size and where the connection goes and we will confirm what Snyder installs and what you add. A tall tank gives strong suction head at the base, and the connection sees it too: carry the first valve on its own support and use a flexible connector to hard pipe.
3. Rating. 1.9 specific gravity and 140 F. Heavier or hotter liquids need a different tank; ask us.
4. Drawing. Snyder's drawing for 5210000N42 is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

If the ceiling rather than the floor is the limit, the 4,300 gallon black heavy duty vertical tank, 7421100C34 and the 4,500 gallon 1.35 specific gravity vertical tank, 7000400N29 are wider, lower tanks.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 300 from Snyder's Lincoln, NE plant, 90 x 90 x 182 inches and 1,450 lb. At 90 inches wide it stays inside a standard trailer footprint, which is the freight break this shape buys you; the 182 inch length still needs room to stand up at your end, so have a crane or telehandler and straps ready and lift under the body, never through the manway. At the tailgate, check the part number 5210000N42 against the bill of lading and walk the full length of the shell for transit damage before you sign. Anchor it before the lift equipment leaves, then fill it with water the first time and hold it before the product arrives. Ready to order?
