6,000 gallons under eleven feet, sold without a fitting
The Snyder 7000000C137 is a white high density linear polyethylene vertical liquid storage tank, 120 inches across and 132 inches tall, holding 6,000 gallons at 1,155 pounds. Its wall is rated on the spec sheet for a specific gravity of 1.9, or 95,076 pounds of contents against 50,040 for water, and it ships with no outlet fitting installed: the buyer drills the bulkhead where the pump wants it, in the size and material the liquid calls for, which is how a plant that fits its own tanks prefers to buy. The ten foot base takes a tanker load and a reserve under an eleven foot roof. An 18 inch lid on top, and it ships as oversize freight.

A tanker and a reserve in a blank tank
A factory outlet is at the factory's height, on the factory's side, in polypropylene; a blank tank lets the installer put the bulkhead exactly where the pump sits, in polypropylene, PVDF or a lined fitting as the liquid demands, and add a high-level port, a second outlet or a recirculation return, all with a hole saw and a bulkhead kit. Rotationally molded polyethylene tanks are sized to ASTM D1998, and the sheet rates this wall for liquids nearly twice as dense as water, so brine and coagulant are covered as well as water. Full, it puts 95,076 pounds on a 120 inch circle at the rating: an engineered slab in full contact under the whole floor, because a tank this wide spans any hollow in a gravel base and cracks there when full, with the empty tank strapped against wind and the lid reached from a short platform. Our buyers guides at other sizes, the 300 gallon, 500 gallon and 2,000 gallon vertical tank guides, cover the day tanks and mid-size verticals a plant pairs with a bulk tank like this one. The tank sizing calculator tells you whether 6,000 gallons covers the draw, and the tank sizing guide covers days of supply.
The blank 6,000, and the sizes beside it
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7000000C137 (this tank, no fitting) | 6,000 | 120 x 132 in | 1,155 lb |
| 7430000C137 (tall) | 6,000 | 102 x 188 in | 1,650 lb |
| 8210000C126 (no fitting) | 5,000 | 102 x 154 in | 1,150 lb |
| 1002100C126 | 5,000 | 102 x 154 in | 1,050 lb |
| 7140000C137 | 6,900 | 120 x 153.5 in | 1,300 lb |
The 7430000C137 holds the same 6,000 gallons on a 102 inch base at 188 inches, 56 inches taller, for a site with height and less floor. The 8210000C126 is the other blank tank, 5,000 gallons on a 102 inch base at 154 inches, beside the 1002100C126 with a factory fitting, and the 7140000C137 holds 6,900 gallons on this base 21.5 inches taller.

Manway, outlet, limits
- Outlet: none installed. Drill the bulkhead on a flat of the wall, low enough to drain and high enough to clear sediment, with a hole saw sized to the bulkhead kit; a flexible connector and an expansion joint to hard pipe, and the valve supported off the slab.
- Access: 18 inch lid, 132 inches up; filled by truck through a dip tube, vented outside on anything that fumes, and size the vent for a tanker's unload rate.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
Drill with the tank empty and dry, deburr the hole, and set the bulkhead gasket on the inside of the wall, hand-tight plus a quarter turn; overtightening a bulkhead in polyethylene is the usual first leak. The white wall shows the level in daylight; fit a sender read at ground level so nobody climbs for a number, and a low-level float switch keeps a pump from running dry. Keep the lid closed against vapor loss, and keep the tank out of direct sun where the liquid is light-sensitive. In a freezing climate insulate or drain the outlet valve and the first run of pipe; the body takes ice from the top down without harm.
Unloading a tanker safely
The driver's pump can deliver faster than the lid vent can breathe, so the vent is sized for the unload rate or the fill goes through a dedicated top bulkhead with its own vent line. The fill pipe reaches the floor, so the liquid enters below the surface instead of free-falling and foaming. The first delivery into a new tank is watched from start to finish, with the slab edge and the new outlet fitting checked as the level climbs, and from then on each load is logged by date and strength.
Where it earns its keep
Well storage for a community system that fits its own tanks, a rain cistern under a large roof, brine and coagulant delivered by tanker with a reserve at a plant with its own fitting standard, and a fire reserve of the kind the fire-water reservoir design guide describes, where the installer wants the outlet sized to the fire pump rather than to a catalog. One liquid per tank, labeled.
Moving it, setting it, filling it
At 120 inches across and 132 inches long on the deck the 7000000C137 is oversize freight (NMFC 156600) on a flatbed at a lane rate; the freight cost estimator prices the lane to your ZIP; the figure listed here is before freight. A forklift with long forks or a small crane sets 1,155 pounds on the slab, and the slab is checked flat before the tank lands. Drill and fit the outlet, then fill it to the lid once, hold it, and check the fitting for a weep before the pump goes on. Save the pallet; a tank that ever has to move again is easier to move on it.
