A 5,500 gallon black cross-linked tank for water and liquid feed under a low roof
Snyder part number 7000000N46 is a 5,500 gallon vertical storage tank in black cross-linked polyethylene, 120 inches in diameter and 132 inches tall, weighing 1,155 lb empty. It is rated for liquids up to 1.5 times the weight of water: 5,500 gallons of water is 5,500 x 8.34 = 45,870 lb, and at the 1.5 rating the contents can weigh up to 68,805 lb. That covers water, most liquid fertilizers and the dilute chemicals polyethylene handles. An 18 inch threaded vented manway sits on the dome. The service limit is 140 F (60 C), and Snyder backs it with a 3 year warranty. The black wall keeps light out, which slows algae in stored water.

Why the 132 inch height matters
The 120 inch base at 132 inches tall is the shell to buy when the taller tanks on this base will not clear a roof truss, an eave or a mezzanine. The tank itself moves through a 120 inch opening standing up or lies down for a lower one; measure both before you order. The 1.5 rating suits water, rainwater, fertilizer and dilute treatment chemicals. For a site gathering roof water, condensate and process rinse, our guide to industrial water reuse tank layouts covers how tanks this size are banded by water quality and sequenced ahead of treatment. For a private fire reserve, the fire water reservoir design guide covers sizing and freeze protection. Cross-linked polyethylene resists impact and stress cracking better than linear resin, which is worth having where forklifts work around the tank. Full, it puts up to 68,805 lb on a 120 inch circle, and a rotationally moulded floor bears on the whole slab, so the pad is sized per our concrete pad sizing guide, level and in full contact. Tie it down before the first fill. Liquids heavier than 1.5 times water, and the aggressive chemistries, belong in the 1.9 rated version linked below. The tank sizing calculator and tank sizing guide settle whether one 5,500 covers the draw.
Openings and fittings, and what to confirm before you buy
- Manway. An 18 inch threaded vented manway on top, 132 inches off the pad. Wide enough for a fill hose, a float and a brush; give it a platform.
- Outlet and fittings. Tell us the outlet size, thread and position you need and what runs through it. We confirm what 7000000N46 ships with and what Snyder can add at the plant.
- The liquid. Check anything beyond water and fertilizer in our chemical compatibility guide and against the 140 F (60 C) limit.
- Drawing. Snyder's drawing for this shell is linked under Technical Drawing on this page; set pipe runs from it before the pad is poured.
