The Snyder Industries 4650 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank is a crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) tank built to ASTM standards for heavy-duty bulk water and high-density storage. It stands 154 inches tall on a 102 x 102 inch footprint, holds 4,650 gallons, and carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating. That 1.5 SG rating is the reason to choose this tank over a commodity vertical: the crosslinked wall stores liquids denser than water, where a standard 1.0 to 1.1 SG polyethylene tank would have to be derated or upsized. Before you commit to a pad size, run your volume through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide.
Will this tank do the job?
This is a Natural White vertical storage tank in XLPE. It arrives fitted from the factory: a manway with 15-inch access for entry and cleaning, an 18-inch PE threaded and vented lid, a 12 x 13.75 inch S.U.M.O. flat fitting, a flange, and additional S.U.M.O. and S.U.M.O. flat ports for inlet, outlet, and plumbing. Match your bulkhead and pipe sizes against those exact fittings, which are called out with placement and dimensions on the technical drawing on this page.
Sizing the pad and the load
Filled with water this tank carries roughly 38,781 pounds; at its full 1.5 SG rating the contents can reach about 58,172 pounds. That load lands on the pad and soil, so a level, properly engineered concrete pad is not optional. Our guide on concrete pad sizing under the ACI 360R-10 framework walks the engineering, and for cold-climate fire reserves the fire-water reservoir design and freeze-protection guide covers NFPA 22 sizing. If you are banking grey-water, rainwater, or condensate, the industrial water reuse topology guide shows how to band storage by quality.
The mistake to avoid
The common error on a tank this size is anchoring plumbing rigidly to a fixed structure. Polyethylene expands and flexes as it fills, and the wall moves; each S.U.M.O. fitting and the flange seals on a gasket and should be mated with a flexible, EPDM-type connector at the penetration so rigid pipe cannot crack the fitting. Keep the vent on the 18-inch lid clear so the tank breathes during fast fill and draw, and verify every fitting location against the technical drawing before you set the pad.
This vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Marked Tree, Arkansas, quoted live to your ZIP. At 154 inches (12 feet 10 inches) tall and nearly 58,000 pounds fully loaded, it moves as an oversized piece that needs overhead clearance and equipment to offload, so confirm site access.
