5,000 gallons in black, 119 inches across, heavier wall
The Snyder 32832 is a black high density linear polyethylene water tank that holds 5,000 gallons on a 119 inch base at 116 inches tall, weighing 870 pounds. It shares its shape with the 32368 and carries 65 more pounds of resin in the wall, which is what an outdoor tank in full sun for decades, or a tank that carries pipe and a valve at its outlet, wants. Threaded fittings, a 26 inch manway, black to keep the water clear of algae, and a rating of 1.0 specific gravity for water and liquids no heavier.

Reading the wall
A rotationally molded tank's empty weight is its wall thickness, and 870 pounds against 805 in the same shape is a stiffer shell that sags less on an imperfect pad, cracks later under sun and thermal cycling, and takes side load at the outlet without oval-ing the fitting. The pad is still the first job: 41,700 pounds on a 119 inch circle is an engineered slab in full contact under the whole floor, level enough that 116 inches of tank stands plumb. The tank sizing calculator confirms the gallons, and the tank sizing guide covers days of supply at your draw.
Water walls and chemical walls at 5,000 gallons
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32832 (this tank) | 5,000 | 119 x 116 in | 870 lb |
| 32368 | 5,000 | 119 x 116 in | 805 lb |
| 1002100N30, chemical wall | 5,000 | 102 x 154 in | 1,050 lb |
| 5210000N30, chemical wall | 4,400 | 90 x 182 in | 1,450 lb |
| 7000000C137 | 6,000 | 120 x 132 in | 1,155 lb |
The 32368 is the standard water wall in this shape, 65 pounds lighter. The chemical tanks below it are a different class: tall, narrow shells with far more resin, rated for liquids denser than water, and priced for it. For water, the 32832 is the heavy option and the 32368 the light one; the difference is how long the tank has to last outdoors and how hard the outlet will be worked.

Ports and access
- Inlet: 1-1/2 inch fitting, high on the wall.
- Outlet: 2 inch fitting at the base, sized for a pump suction or a gravity line.
- Access: 26 inch manway.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
Nearly ten feet of head over the outlet gravity-feeds troughs and drip lines. Level through a black wall is a hydrostatic sender at the outlet or a sight tube, and the level gauge selection guide covers the electronic options. Put a flexible transition in the outlet line and support the valve off the slab; even a heavy wall moves with the day.
Living with a black 5,000 gallon tank
Black absorbs heat, so stored water warms on a summer afternoon; draw from the outlet at the base where it stays coolest and shade the tank where the site allows. In winter the tank freezes from the top down and the ice floats, so the shell is rarely the casualty; the outlet valve and the first run of pipe are, so insulate or drain them. Strap the tank against wind while it is empty. Clean it once a year through the manway with a wash-down wand, drain through the outlet, and let it dry before refilling; keep a screen on the inlet and the vent so leaves and insects stay out.
In service
A ranch water bank, an irrigation reserve, an outdoor fire reserve in full sun, and the bulk stage of a commercial reuse train that pools roof water, grey water and condensate, per the industrial water reuse tank topology article.
Freight and unloading
At 119 inches across the 32832 is oversize freight (NMFC 156600) on a flatbed at a lane rate; the freight cost estimator prices it for your ZIP, and the listed price is before freight. A forklift with long forks or a crane sets 870 pounds on the slab. Strap it, then fill in stages with the slab edge and both fittings under watch. The first fill is the only cheap time to find a problem, so do it in daylight with someone watching the base.
