The Snyder Industries 6200 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank is a heavy-capacity black vertical tank molded in crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) and rated to a 1.5 specific gravity, so it stores water and denser-than-water liquids in one upright footprint. It stands 140 inches tall on a 120-inch diameter, making it a serious bulk-storage vessel for agricultural water, rainwater collection, fire-water reserves, and industrial process holding. The XLPE wall and higher-gravity rating are what set this vertical storage tank apart from a plain water-grade shell.
Will it work for your site?
At 6,200 gallons, a full charge of water weighs roughly 51,708 pounds. The 1.5 specific gravity rating does not cost you volume, it adds density headroom: the same shell can legally hold contents up to about 77,562 pounds. Engineer your foundation to that 77,562-pound maximum, not the water figure, and set the tank on a level pad sized to the 120 x 120 inch footprint bounding box. Our concrete pad sizing guide works through the ACI framework for above-ground polyethylene storage at this weight class, and the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm the 6,200-gallon size against your draw and refill cycle.
Fittings and configuration
Per the technical drawing on this page, this Snyder vertical tank carries an 18-inch PE threaded manway for top access and inspection, a flange fitting, and molded flat fitting pads in eight places at 45 degrees typical. Those flat pads are locating positions for field-installed bulkhead fittings and gaskets, specified and drilled to suit your plumbing, not pre-installed outlets. Review the technical drawing on this page for exact fitting placement and elevations before you set piping. If this tank is feeding a private fire-protection reserve, our guide to fire-water reservoir tank design covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate service.
The mistake to avoid
Do not size the pad or supports to the water weight alone. This tank holds a 1.5 specific gravity rating for a reason, and if you fill it with anything heavier than water up to that rating, your foundation must carry the full 77,562-pound maximum. Confirm your intended contents suit black crosslinked polyethylene before filling; XLPE handles many liquids a water-grade HDPE shell cannot, but the right vessel depends on your fluid and its density. For denser chemistries, the 1.5-SG headroom here is an asset to design around rather than work against.
