The Snyder Industries 5100 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank is built from high density linear polyethylene (HDLPE) and rated for a specific gravity of 1.0, which makes it a fresh-water vessel: rainwater capture, fire-water reserve, irrigation, and grey-water or process-water reuse. It stands 93 inches tall on a 142 x 142 inch round footprint, and at full fill it carries 42,534 pounds of water. That weight figure is the single most important number on this page, and the rest of your install plan flows from it. At a glance: 5,100 gallon capacity, SG 1.0 fresh-water service, HDLPE, green shell, 93 in tall on a 142 x 142 in footprint, shipping LTL from Albertville, Alabama.
Will this 5100 gallon water storage tank work for your site?
Capacity is 5,100 gallons in a green-tinted shell that cuts light transmission to slow algae growth in standing water. The 1.0 specific gravity rating means this vertical storage tank is engineered for the weight of water and water-like fluids at or below that density — keep it on fresh-water, rainwater, and similar duty. The wall is sized for that 1.0 service, and pushing a denser liquid into a 1.0 tank is the classic mistake to avoid here. On the site side, at 142 inches across and 93 inches tall you will want to plan door or gate clearance and a level pad of at least 142 x 142 inches plus a working margin around the shell.
Fitting layout — confirm before you order
Inlet, outlet, bulkhead, and manway positions for this tank are shown on the technical drawing on this page. We do not pre-publish a fixed fitting set for this size, so we confirm your fitting layout with you by phone before the order ships — call 866-418-1777 and we will match the drawing to what your inlet, draw-down, and overflow plumbing actually needs.
Sizing, pad, and the 42,534 lb question
A full 5,100 gallon tank loads the slab with 42,534 pounds of contents — the full-fill figure your pad must carry — distributed across that 142 x 142 inch footprint, so the slab has to be poured for it. Pour a level, properly sized concrete pad before this tank ever sees water; our concrete pad sizing guide walks the ACI 360R-10 framework and where the ACI 318 boundary kicks in. Not sure 5,100 gallons is the right volume for your draw-down and refill cycle? Run the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit. If this is a fire-water reserve for a rural or remote site, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection, and reuse trains using grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate are covered in our industrial water reuse topology guide.
Commissioning before you trust it
Once the tank is set and plumbed, fill it with water and hold it before you put it into service. Our hydrostatic test methodology guide covers water-fill discipline, pad-settlement monitoring, fitting leak detection, and the hold-time math so you catch a settling slab or a weeping bulkhead while the tank is still empty enough to fix it cheaply.
This vertical water storage tank ships LTL freight from the Snyder Industries plant in Albertville, Alabama. It ships empty, but a 5,100 gallon vessel on a 142 x 142 inch footprint is still an oversized LTL item, so confirm offload requirements before delivery — freight is quoted live to your ZIP, never bundled into the list price. Get your freight quote in seconds with our Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 to lock in a quote and confirm offload for a tank this size.
