Snyder Industries 6000 Gallon ASTM XLPE Vertical Storage Tank

The narrow way to 6000 gallons

Snyder makes 6000 gallons in two shapes. This is the narrow one: 102 inches across and 188 inches tall, so it takes eight and a half feet of floor and puts the manway a little under sixteen feet up. Choose it when width is what you are short of and the roof has height to spare for a fill line and a vent. The 1.5 wall is the right buy for water, reclaimed water, fertilizer solutions and process makeup liquids; a liquid heavier than 1.5 times water needs the heavy duty version of this shell, which we also list. Crosslinked polyethylene resists chemistry that softens ordinary polyethylene, so the same tank serves a treatment room as well as a yard. Natural white shows a shadow line at the liquid level in daylight. Size the volume against your draw and delivery interval with the tank sizing calculator and tank sizing guide, and leave freeboard for a liquid that expands when it warms.

A tall tank on a small circle concentrates its load. Full of water it puts 50,040 lb on a 102 inch floor that follows the concrete rather than bridging it, so build the slab to our concrete pad sizing guide, level across both diagonals and in full contact. Wind acts on a long lever here; strap the shell to structure before the first fill and check the tension after the first hot season. Where the tank is a rural fire reserve, the fire water reservoir design guide covers sizing and freeze protection.

Openings and what to confirm before you buy

1. Manway. An 18 inch threaded vented manway on top, reached from a platform at this height. Size the vent to the delivery pump so air leaves as fast as liquid arrives and returns as fast as it is drawn off.
2. Fill. Run a dip tube to the floor. Free fall from the manway foams the headspace and wets the upper wall where vapour concentrates; the article on wall thickness at the vapour saturated headspace explains why that band fails first.
3. Outlet. This listing does not state an installed outlet fitting. Tell us the size and material you need and where the drain lands, and we will confirm with Snyder what comes on the tank and what is added.
4. Drawing. Snyder's drawing is linked on this page under Technical Drawing, with the fitting locations and the exact profile for your pad layout.

The other 6000 gallon body and the neighbours

If the floor is open and the roof is the limit, the 6000 gallon 7140300N40 is the wider, shorter 6000 gallon body with the same wall rating. In black, which keeps light off the contents and slows algae in stored water, the choices are the 6000 gallon black 7000000C37 and, for dense liquids, the 6000 gallon black heavy duty 7000000C34. One step down, the 5600 gallon 5250000N40; one step up, the 6200 gallon black heavy duty 8220000C34.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 300 from the nearest of Snyder's Chowchilla, California, Lincoln, Nebraska and Philippi, West Virginia plants, 102 by 102 by 188 inches on the truck at 1,650 lb. Add it to your cart at the top of this page, get LTL freight to your ZIP, or call 866-418-1777. The listed price is before freight. A tank this long travels on its side and needs a crane or a large forklift and a clear landing spot at the address. At the tailgate, check 7430000N40 against the bill of lading, look over the whole wall and the floor edge for transit damage, and fill it with water the first time; our hydrostatic test guide gives the hold times and what to watch at the pad edge.
