Snyder Industries 4600 Gallon ASTM XLPE Vertical Storage Tank

Floor to spare, no height

This is the 4,600 gallon tank for a building where the roof, the duct or the crane rail is the number that decides the order. At 116 inches to the top of the shell it goes where the taller tanks in this range cannot, and it still needs only the manway lid, a fill line and a vent above it. The cost is a 120 inch diameter, which is a real piece of floor and, when full, over 38,364 lb spread across it. A rotationally moulded floor bears on the whole circle, so a low corner in the slab carries far more than its share; have the pad engineered, poured level and in full contact per the concrete pad sizing guide. The 1.5 rating is the standard wall for this shell and the right buy for water, rinse and wash water, fertilizer solutions and the lighter treatment chemicals; the heavy duty version of the same shell exists for liquids well above the weight of water, and paying for it to hold water is money spent in the wrong place. Where the tank will sit inside a double wall rather than a curb, the double wall freeboard sizing guide shows how much of the nominal volume you can actually fill, which decides whether 4,600 gallons is still enough. If the job is a water reserve for sprinklers or hydrants, start with the fire water reservoir design guide. Match the volume to your draw and delivery interval in the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide.

Openings and what to check before you buy

1. Manway. An 18 inch threaded vented manway on top, 116 inches up. A fixed ladder reaches it, which means this tank gets dipped, looked into and maintained; keep the lid shut between deliveries so rain and dust stay out. Fill through a dip tube to the floor 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 comes installed and what you add. A short tank gives a pump little suction head: mount it below the outlet, keep the run short, and fit a low-level cutout.
3. Rating. 1.5 specific gravity and 140 F. Heavier or hotter liquids need the heavy duty version or a different tank; ask us.
4. Drawing. Snyder's drawing for 7000500N40 is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

Same shell, heavier wall: the 4,600 gallon heavy duty XLPE tank, 7000500N42, rated 1.9. In black, for contents that sunlight degrades: the 4,600 gallon black XLPE tank, 7000500N46 and the 4,600 gallon black heavy duty tank, 7000500N48. If the ceiling is lower still, the 4,500 gallon 1.35 specific gravity vertical tank, 7000400N29 is wider and shorter; if the floor is the problem instead, the 4,650 gallon XLPE vertical tank, 8210000N40 is narrower and taller.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 300 from Snyder's Chowchilla, CA plant, 120 x 120 x 116 inches and 1,450 lb. The height is never the carrier's problem and the width always is: it rides as a wide load, so the receiving yard needs a clear approach and a telehandler or forklift with long forks. Lift with straps under the body, never with a hook through the manway. At the tailgate, check the part number 7000500N40 against the bill of lading and look over the shell for transit damage before you sign. Set it on the finished pad, strap it, then fill it with water the first time, in daylight with someone watching the base. Ready to order?
