The Snyder Industries 4600 Gallon ASTM XLPE Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 7000500N40) is a large-capacity crosslinked polyethylene vertical tank built for bulk water and heavy-liquid storage where a rigid, high-density-rated wall matters. It molds and ships from Chowchilla, CA, so West Coast and Southwest ZIPs draw short LTL lanes. Natural White lets you eyeball the liquid level through the wall, and the tank stands 116" tall on a 120" x 120" footprint at 4,600 gallons. The crosslinked (XLPE) resin carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, the top of the XLPE range, meaning it is engineered to hold contents up to roughly 50% denser than water at full volume.
Will it work for your site?
Plan the pad and the plumbing around the loaded numbers, not the empty shell. Filled with plain water at 4,600 gallons, contents alone weigh roughly 38,364 lb; at the full 1.5 SG rating the maximum rated contents weight climbs to about 57,546 lb. That load sits on a 120.0" x 120.0" footprint, so a level, engineered concrete pad rated for the full weight is not optional on a tank this size. The 116" height against a 120" width gives a squat, low aspect ratio that helps with stability and puts the 15"-access manway within easier reach. Note too that 4,600 gallons is nominal capacity; ASTM D1998 freeboard reduces the volume you can actually fill, which our freeboard sizing guide breaks down. Run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide, and see our concrete pad sizing guide for the ACI 360R-10 framework behind above-ground poly tank foundations.
Fittings and access
Per the technical drawing on this page, this vertical tank is configured with a flange fitting, an 18" polyethylene threaded/vented fitting, and a manway with 15" access for interior inspection and cleaning. Confirm the outlet and fitting locations against the drawing before you set the tank, because on a 116" tall body the plumbing run and gravity-feed head are decided by where those fittings land. One compatibility check: the wall is XLPE, but the flange and threaded penetrations seal through gaskets and o-rings that are not, so match the gasket material to your stored liquid before install.
The mistake to avoid
This is a crosslinked (XLPE) tank, not a linear-wall storage tank. The crosslinked resin is what gives the higher-density-rated wall that makes the 1.5 SG rating possible, so specify fittings and penetrations correctly the first time rather than planning to cut or modify the wall later. For fire-water reservoir and rural storage jobs where this size shines, our fire-water reservoir design guide walks through NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection.
