A 5,000 gallon 15 degree cone bottom tank in black, for light-sensitive liquids
The Snyder Industries 5,000 gallon 15 degree cone bottom tank in black, part number 8050200N49, is a black high density linear polyethylene process vessel 102 inches in diameter and 166 inches tall, weighing 550 lb empty. It is the standard wall version of this size, rated by Snyder for liquids up to 1.5 times the weight of water: water, most liquid fertilizers and many common chemicals, nothing heavier. 5,000 gallons of water weighs 41,700 lb; a full load at the 1.5 rating is 62,550 lb. The top opening is 18 inches. The service limit is 100 F, lower than many polyethylene tanks. Black keeps light out of the contents, which slows algae in water and protects light-sensitive liquids. Snyder's drawing is linked on this page under Technical Drawing. This listing names no outlet fitting, no stand and no warranty term, so tell us the connection you need and we will confirm what the tank arrives with.

Why the black one
The 5,000 gallon cone bottom tank 8050200N43 is this tank in white, also rated 1.5. Choose black when the contents should not see light, when a drawing, a plant standard or an existing installation calls for it, or when the tank stands outdoors holding water you want to keep clear. Choose white when you want to read the level through the wall. If your paperwork already names a part number, order that one; a plant with one black and one white vessel that were meant to match is a conversation nobody enjoys. The heavier siblings are the 5,000 gallon cone bottom tank 8050200N45, the white heavy duty version rated 1.9 for dense liquids, and the 5,000 gallon cross-link cone bottom tank 8050200N42.
A cone bottom tank cannot stand on its own bottom. The stand is a separate item, chosen before the tank is ordered; our cone bottom tank stand compatibility matrix sets the makers side by side, and we will confirm what fits this part number when you call. Under the stand, 550 lb of tank, 41,700 lb of water and 62,550 lb at the rating arrive into a 102 inch circle, which is engineered, level, uniform ground with restraint designed for the exposure. At 166 inches before the stand, measure to the lowest obstruction first. The 15 degree cone is the shallow one, right for storage that must drain clean; our cone bottom tank buyer's guide to 15, 30 and 45 degree cones covers when a steeper angle earns its height. Settle the volume with the tank sizing calculator and take the freeboard from the tank sizing guide.
What goes in it
Water, liquid fertilizer and the common treatment chemicals polyethylene handles. Check the liquid in our chemical compatibility guide first; the entries for sodium hypochlorite, which loses strength in light, hydrogen peroxide, urea solution and calcium chloride are the ones buyers of a black cone ask about. Liquids heavier than 1.5 times water belong in the 8050200N45, and keep the contents under 100 F. Our note on top fitting placement helps lay out the manway.
Openings and what to confirm
- Top opening. 18 inches. Snyder's listing does not say whether it is vented; ask us if fill or pump rates need a vent.
- Outlet. Not stated here. Snyder's drawing shows the cone discharge; tell us your valve or pipe size and we will confirm what is installed and what you add.
- Stand. Not included. Order it with the tank.

Shipping and receiving
The tank ships from Snyder's Marked Tree, Arkansas plant as oversize freight (Freight Class OVS), 102 by 102 by 166 inches at 550 lb. At 102 inches across it is in the size range we arrange by truck rather than by the online LTL rate, so expect the freight cost estimator to ask you to call; we price the lane the same day. The listed price is before freight. Unload with a forklift or crane and slings, never a chain around the cone. At the tailgate check the part number against 8050200N49 on the bill of lading, look over the cone for transit damage, and fill with water the first time before it carries anything else.
