Snyder Industries 60 Gallon Sodium Hypochlorite (UV) Double Wall Tank

The Snyder Industries 60 Gallon Sodium Hypochlorite (UV) Double Wall Tank is Snyder's bleach-service configuration - a fully contained double wall unit for jobs where a spill can't be allowed to reach the ground. The inner tank holds 60 gallons; the outer wall gives you built-in secondary containment in a single 26 x 26 inch footprint that stands 41 inches tall. It's molded from HDLPE #880059 in opaque white with UV stabilization, and it carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating - the number that tells you it's engineered to hold contents heavier than water, matched here to sodium hypochlorite duty.

Will it work for your site?

Start with weight, because that drives the pad and the placement. Filled with water this tank runs about 500 lbs; loaded to its full 1.9 SG rating it can carry up to 951 lbs of contents (60 gal x 8.34 lb x 1.9 SG works out to roughly 951 lb, so you can check the pad load yourself). Plan the slab and anchoring around that 951 lb figure, not the water number, so nothing shifts once you fill. The 26 x 26 inch square footprint fits tight in a containment area or equipment room, and the double wall design means you don't have to build or buy a separate catch basin. Check the technical drawing on this page for exact fitting locations and outlet placement before you set it. If you're weighing this 60 gallon size against a larger or smaller unit, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide first.

The double wall detail that matters

The 1.9 SG rating and the integrated secondary containment are the reasons to buy this tank instead of a plain single wall drum. Don't undersize your freeboard - the usable volume you can actually fill is less than the nameplate 60 gallons once you account for the thermal expansion and off-gassing that come with sodium hypochlorite service. That's covered in depth in our guide on Snyder Captor double-wall freeboard sizing per ASTM D1998. If containment is being spec'd for a regulated site, the SPCC 40 CFR 112 compliance walkthrough shows where a double wall unit fits, and concrete pad sizing under the ACI 360R-10 framework covers the base it sits on.
