Snyder Industries 5000 Gallon Sodium Hypochlorite (UV) Double Wall Tank

The Snyder Industries 5000 Gallon Sodium Hypochlorite (UV) Double Wall Tank is a Captor-style double wall tank engineered for dense, aggressive contents where a built-in secondary wall is required. It holds 5,000 gallons in opaque white HDLPE (resin #880059), stands 216 inches tall on a 102 x 102 inch footprint, and carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating. That 1.9 rating is the reason to specify this unit over a standard 1.0 or 1.5 water tank: the shell is built to carry contents far heavier than water, with UV-stabilized construction for outdoor above-ground service. Plain water is a conservative sub-use of a tank designed for much denser duty.

Will it work for your site

Size the pad and plumbing to real load numbers. Filled with water this double wall tank runs about 41,700 lb, and at its maximum rated contents weight it reaches 79,230 lb. Design the concrete pad to the 79,230 lb max-rated figure, not the water weight, because a dense chemical fill sits well above the 41,700 lb water number - do not assume the water weight applies to your contents. The 102-inch square footprint drives your pad dimensions, setback, and clearance. Run your target through the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide so freeboard and usable volume line up with your draw.

Fittings and containment notes

Factory fittings on this 5000 gallon Snyder unit include a flange, an 18-inch PE threaded and vented fitting, and a manway with 15-inch access for interior inspection and cleanout. The vented fitting matters for oxidizer service, where off-gas has to be managed rather than trapped. Because the flanged connection relies on gasket and bolt materials, confirm those are compatible with your exact contents and concentration, and verify the full fitting layout against the technical drawing on this page before you commit a plumbing run. A double wall tank trades some outside dimension for integral secondary containment, so the outer shell is the number that governs clearance and openings. The Captor freeboard sizing walkthrough shows how thermal expansion and contents density set usable volume, the SPCC 40 CFR 112 walkthrough covers where secondary containment is a regulatory requirement, and the concrete pad sizing framework ties footprint and filled weight together.
