Snyder Industries 60 Gallon Cubetainer Tank with Brass Dipense Fitting

The 60 Gallon Cubetainer from Snyder Industries is a compact, square-footprint water tank built for tight-space storage where a tall vertical tank won't fit. At 36 by 36 inches on the ground and only 17.5 inches tall, its 60-gallon capacity sits low and stable, and it arrives with a brass dispense fitting ready to draw water. The tank is molded from high-density linear polyethylene (HDLPE) in white, weighs 44 pounds empty, and carries a specific gravity rating of 1.9 with a maximum service temperature of 120°F (48°C). It also carries Snyder certifications 2285 and 2282.

Will it work for your job

This is a 60-gallon cubetainer with a 36 x 36 inch footprint and a 17.5-inch height, so it slides under benches, into truck beds, and onto pad corners where a cylindrical tank of the same volume would be too tall. Full of water it carries about 500 pounds. For plumbing, the tank is molded per the drawing with a 1-inch flush FPT spin-weld outlet and a 2-inch premium (#22) spin-weld fitting, plus an 8-inch lid for access; the brass dispense fitting that ships with the tank threads into the 1-inch FPT outlet. See the technical drawing on this page for fitting placement before you plan your connections. If you're weighing this against a larger footprint, our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match volume to the space and weight you're working with.

More than a water tank: the 1.9 SG rating

Water is only the baseline here. The shell is rated to a specific gravity of 1.9, so beyond a 500-pound water fill it is built to hold heavier chemicals and solutions up to 951 pounds of contents — nearly double the water weight — provided the fluid is compatible with HDLPE and stays under the 120°F ceiling. That heavier-liquid headroom is what separates this cubetainer from a water-only tank of the same size, and it is why the sizing weights matter as much as the gallon number when you spec it.

How it ships

This tank ships LTL freight from Snyder's plant in St. Bonifacius, Minnesota, and freight is quoted live to your ZIP code rather than baked into the list price. Because a 36-inch-wide cubetainer is bulky but light at 44 pounds empty, a live freight quote is the only way to see your true freight cost. Run your ZIP through the Freight Cost Estimator for a live number.

The mistake to avoid

Match the seal to the port. The brass dispense fitting lands in the 1-inch flush FPT (female pipe thread), so seal the male brass threads with PTFE tape or pipe dope and seat them hand-tight plus a fraction — polyethylene has flex, and brass-to-poly threads strip or crack the body if you muscle them down like metal-to-metal pipe. The 2-inch premium spin-weld fitting is different: it seals on its bulkhead O-ring gasket, not thread tape, so don't tape a gasketed port. And before you move off water, confirm your fluid is HDLPE-compatible and under 120°F, since the 1.9 SG rating governs weight, not chemical resistance.
