Snyder Industries 6200 Gallon ASTM 1.35 SG Black Vertical Storage Tank

The right wall when the liquid is water

Water has a specific gravity of 1.0, so a 1.35 wall carries it with margin to spare, and you are not paying to move or set polyethylene that only a heavy chemical would need. This is the version to choose for a well reserve, rainwater, wash water, stock water or a fire reserve. It also covers light solutions up to 1.35 times the weight of water; anything denser needs a tank rated for it, and if you are not sure of your liquid's specific gravity, call us before you order. The black wall keeps sunlight out, which keeps algae from growing in stored water. At 140 inches tall on a 120 inch base the tank is steady, fits under many eaves, and its manway is a short ladder climb. The base carries 51,708 lb of water on a 120 inch circle, so it wants a level, compacted or concrete pad in full contact with the tank floor; our concrete pad sizing guide covers the slab. At 1,174 lb empty it is light enough for wind to move, so anchor it before the first storm. For a fire reserve, the fire water reservoir design guide is the place to start; for rainwater and grey water, the industrial water reuse tank topology article.

What to check before you buy

1. The liquid. 1.35 specific gravity or less and no hotter than 120 F. Fertilizer solutions and brines are often heavier than that, so check before you order.
2. The size. Check 6,200 gallons against your use and refill time with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide.
3. The outlet. The manway is the only opening listed. Tell us the pipe size and what the tank supplies and we will confirm the outlet fitting before anything is drilled.
4. The drawing. A Snyder drawing for the 8220000 shell, filed under its heavy duty part number, is linked under Technical Drawing on this page. Use it for the manway position and footprint, and ask us if you need the drawing for this exact part number.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships at freight class 300, 120 by 120 by 140 inches and 1,174 lb, from Marked Tree, Arkansas. At 120 inches across it moves as an oversize load. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP, and if it cannot price a tank this size, call us and we will. Lift with straps around the body, never from the manway. At the tailgate, check the part number against 8220000N33 on the bill of lading and walk round the tank for damage before you sign. Fill it with water first and check the base and outlet after a day.
