Snyder Industries 60 Gallon XLPE Chemical Feed Station Tank

Same lane out of Arkansas, different wall

The freight story on this part number is identical to its siblings and worth stating plainly before the wall argument, because buyers of a small station are usually paying more for the lane than for the difference between two tanks. It leaves Marked Tree, Arkansas shipping at 47 by 36 by 58 inches and 108 pounds, moving as ordinary LTL freight on a pallet with other goods: no permit, no route survey, no oversize surcharge, and a short lane into the Mid-South. At the receiving end it is a forklift under the pallet or two people, and four feet ten inches of station has to clear the dock, the door and any low header on the way to the room, so measure that route before the truck is booked. What you are choosing when you take the 42 part number rather than its twin is the wall the liquid sits against, and that is a duty decision rather than a freight one. Once it is in the room the installation is the same discipline either way, and it is worth being exact about it, because a good wall on a bad floor still fails. The frame stands on a flat, level, continuous surface with no rock under a foot, carrying 500 pounds of water at full and 951 pounds at the sheet's own rating. The space the stand opens up under the vessel is the point of the part number: a metering pump below the draw-off on a flooded suction, a container under the drain for a decant, and a clear line of sight to the underside of the tank. This sheet gives no anchor pattern, no foot detail and no load rating for the frame, so this page prints none; ask us to confirm that against Snyder's drawing for the part number if the room is seismic or the deck is not ground-bearing concrete. Size the vessel to the duty in the tank sizing calculator and take the reserve and freeboard from the tank sizing guide before the wall question is even asked.

Cross-linked or linear at 58 inches

Four part numbers, one capacity, and the sheet separates them on two axes. The first is what is under the tank: a stand on the two CFWS numbers at 58 inches and 108 pounds, and on the CF numbers a containment basin at 42 inches and 79 pounds on the 45, while the 42 is listed at 58 inches and 108 pounds, which the sheet states and leaves unexplained. The second axis is the wall, and that is this page's reason to exist. This part number is listed in cross-linked polyethylene; SII-5680024CFWS45 is listed in high density linear polyethylene at the same 47 by 36 by 58 inches and the same 108 pounds. Each sheet carries its own rating, and each page on this site cites its own rather than borrowing its twin's: the figures given here, a specific gravity of 1.9 and a 120 F / 48 C limit, belong to this part number. Choose the wall on the liquid and the handling rather than on the price, tell us what the tank will hold, and we will put Snyder's own guidance for that chemical against both part numbers before you commit. Step up in volume and the cross-linked 90 gallon SII-5690103CF42 is the same decision at 56 by 43 inches and 41 inches tall; the 50 gallon operator tank is a portable spray unit from a different family and is not a feed station.

Six inches of opening for the fill, the vent and your hand

• The lid is the specification: 6 inches, at 58 inches off the floor. Everything that goes into this vessel goes through that opening, so the fill line ends at a coupling at working level rather than a hose somebody lifts, and the vent path through it stays clear whenever a pump is drawing.
• Cleaning through 6 inches: it is a sample and a fill port, not a hatch to work through. Decide how the station gets rinsed between products before the first one goes in, and keep the routine short enough that people actually do it.
• The draw-off: no outlet size and no inlet size on this sheet, so this page prints none. Give us the chemical and the flow when you order and we confirm the fitting, gasket and valve against the drawing for this part number in writing.
• Pipework off a raised vessel: valve on its own support from the floor, flexible connector at the first joint, a union downstream so the valve can be changed without touching the tank fitting, and nothing rigid clamped between the frame and a wall.
• The pump under the tank: below the draw-off, on its own base, short falling suction run, low level cut-out that stops it with liquid still over the fitting. A cross-linked wall changes what the vessel tolerates; it changes nothing about what the plumbing owes it.

Marking matters more on a cross-linked station than people expect, because the whole point of specifying the harder wall is that a particular liquid is going in it, and the next operator has no way of knowing that from looking. Put the chemical, the feed and the contact on the vessel to the standard set out in the tank label and signage guide, and get the level onto a display the operator reads from the floor using the level gauge selection guide.

The duties that argue for a cross-linked wall

Plants specify the harder wall where the liquid or the handling is unkind: acid and caustic feed at a water or wastewater works, oxidiser and sanitiser duty on a process line, treatment chemical on a cooling system that runs warm, a dosing point in a plating or finishing shop, bulk cleaning chemistry at a wash or a laundry, and any station that is drained, rinsed and refilled constantly rather than left alone. Sixty gallons keeps it a day tank in all of those, which means the pump draws from a known, labelled, visible volume instead of from a drum on the floor. Before you settle the wall, settle the volume against your real consumption in the tank sizing calculator; a station refilled on a sensible cycle is worth more than a bigger one that sits half empty.

NMFC 156600-01, and the class the sheet gives as LTL

This part number carries NMFC 156600-01 on the sheet, where its siblings carry other suffixes, and the freight class is given as LTL. It is molded at Marked Tree, Arkansas and shipments at 47 by 36 by 58 inches, 108 pounds. Price the lane to your ZIP with the freight cost estimator; the listed price is before freight. Unload with the lift under the frame, not by the lid and not with a sling around the vessel, and get it to its final position before anything is connected, because a plumbed station is not a station you move. Fill it with clean water once, hold it, read the floor under every foot and every joint you have made, then drain it dry before the chemical is delivered. Note the part number and the NMFC suffix on the same sheet of paper as the chemical; when somebody orders a replacement in five years, those two lines are the whole specification. A photo of the tank on its pad, full, on day one is worth keeping; it is the baseline every later inspection is compared against.
