500 gallons in mocha, 76 inches tall
The Snyder 32617 is a 500 gallon vertical water tank in mocha brown high density linear polyethylene, 48 inches across and 76 inches tall, weighing 80 pounds. Mocha is the color for the tank beside a house or a painted shed where black would draw the eye; it blocks light just as well, so the water stays clear. Forty-eight inches goes through a double door, the fittings are full size, a 1-1/2 inch inlet, a 2 inch outlet and a 20 inch vented manway, and the tank is rated for a specific gravity of 1.0, water and liquids no heavier.

Where it stands
Full, the 32617 carries 4,170 pounds on a 48 inch circle, which a paver pad, compacted gravel or a slab in full contact supports; the concrete pad sizing guide covers a shared slab. At 76 inches it clears a six foot header with room for the lid, and it is worth a strap outdoors. The vertical versus horizontal tank tradeoffs article covers why a vertical is the floor-space answer; the tank sizing calculator checks the gallons.
Snyder's 400 to 550 gallon water tanks
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32617 (this tank, mocha) | 500 | 48 x 76 in | 80 lb |
| 32511 | 500 | 48 x 76 in | 80 lb |

The 32511 is this mold in another color. The green 32669 is a different mold at 73 inches with a slightly heavier wall. The 32505 is the doorway shape, 40 inches across and 80 tall for 400 gallons, and the WB34 is the heavy-wall 550 at 140 pounds for the outdoor tank that gets worked. Color first, then wall, then shape.
Still deciding between these? Freight to your ZIP often settles it; the wider tanks ship differently. Or call 866-418-1777 and we will walk the table with you.
Fittings as shipped
- Inlet: 1-1/2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting.
- Outlet: 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting at the base.
- Access: 20 inch threaded, vented manway.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
Seventy-six inches of head gives a hose a usable gravity flow; a small pump makes it pressure. Mocha is as opaque as black, so tee a sight tube off the outlet to see the level, and keep a screen on the inlet and the vent. A dark tank warms its water in full sun; draw from the base and shade it where the site allows.
Put to use
Downspout cistern beside a house, well buffer in a pump house, water for a cabin, stock water, and a cell of the small fire reserve the fire-water reservoir design guide describes. Several make the storage stage of a small roof-water reuse system, per the industrial water reuse tank topology article; the tank sizing guide covers days of supply.
On the truck
The 32617 ships palletized as LTL freight (NMFC 156600-01) at a class rate; the freight cost estimator shows it for your ZIP, and the listed price is before freight. Two people carry 80 pounds. Strap it outdoors, fill it once to the manway, and check both fittings before it goes into service. In a freezing climate the body takes ice from the top down without harm; the outlet valve and the first run of pipe are the parts to insulate or drain, and the vent stays clear so a fast draw cannot pull a vacuum on the wall. Keep the delivery paperwork with the tank; the serial number on the shell is what a warranty claim starts from.
