The Snyder Industries 4600 Gallon ASTM Black Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 7000500N49) is a 4,600-gallon black polyethylene vertical storage tank built to the ASTM standard, standing 116 inches tall on a 120 x 120 inch footprint and shipping LTL from the Snyder plant in Chowchilla, CA. If you are sizing bulk water, fire-reserve, or reuse storage and need real capacity in a stable vertical column, this is a heavy-duty candidate. It is molded in black polyethylene and rated to a 1.5 specific gravity, meaning the wall is engineered for dense water-based contents up to 1.5 times the density of plain water. That rating covers heavy liquids for storage duty; it is not the same as chemical service, which we cover in the sizing note below.
Will it work for your site?
The footprint is 120.0 x 120.0 inches, so plan your pad accordingly, and remember the tank stands 116 inches tall — confirm your overhead clearance for the top fittings, fill line, and manway access before you set it. Full of water this vertical storage tank weighs roughly 38,364 lb, and at its maximum rated contents weight it reaches 57,546 lb. That load demands a properly engineered, level base. Read our concrete pad sizing guide before you pour, and run the numbers with the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide if you are still comparing black tank sizes.
Know which port does what
Before you order adapters, match your plumbing to the fittings shown on the technical drawing on this page. The 18" PE threaded/vented port is the primary top fill and vent connection, the flange is your sidewall or bottom outlet for draw-off, and the manway with 15" access gives you interior reach for inspection and cleaning. Sorting out which connection carries fill, vent, and outlet up front saves a return trip for the wrong fitting once the tank is on the pad.
Sizing it into a bigger system
At 4,600 gallons this tank can serve as a rural or remote fire-water reservoir or as a node in an industrial water-reuse train. If that is your application, our guides on fire-water reservoir design and NFPA 22 sizing discipline and industrial water-reuse tank topology walk through freeboard, banding, and treatment-stage sequencing so you buy the right volume the first time.
The mistake to avoid
Do not confuse this ASTM black vertical storage tank with a chemical or double-wall tank. The 1.5 specific gravity rating means it holds dense water-based contents for storage, but freeboard for thermal expansion still applies to any liquid you put in it. If you are weighing a jacketed or double-wall configuration, our Snyder Captor double-wall freeboard breakdown explains how usable volume differs from nameplate capacity. Match your fittings and base to the load numbers above rather than eyeballing them.
