6,500 gallons of black water storage on a ten foot pad
The Snyder 32429 holds 6,500 gallons of water in a black high density linear polyethylene shell 120 inches across and 152 inches tall, weighing 1,184 pounds. It stands on the same 120 inch base as Snyder's 8,000 gallon tank and stops 31 inches lower, which is the difference between a tank that clears a barn eave and one that does not. Black keeps the water clear of algae; threaded polypropylene fittings and a 26 inch manway; a rating of 1.0 specific gravity for water and liquids no heavier.

The slab and the straps
Full, the 32429 loads a 120 inch circle to 54,210 pounds: an engineered slab, sized by the ACI 360R-10 method in the concrete pad sizing guide, and level enough that 152 inches of tank stands plumb. Empty, 1,184 pounds with that side area is a sail; strap it, or keep water in it through the windy season. The manway is 152 inches up, a tied-off ladder for every inspection. The tank sizing calculator confirms 6,500 gallons against the draw before the concrete is poured.
Up and down the 120 inch base
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32429 (this tank) | 6,500 | 120 x 152 in | 1,184 lb |
| 32431, green | 6,500 | 120 x 152 in | 1,184 lb |
| 32463 | 8,000 | 120 x 183 in | 1,547 lb |
| 32384, green | 5,100 | 102 x 159 in | 876 lb |
The 32431 is this tank in green. The 32463 adds 1,500 gallons on the same base for 31 more inches of height and 363 more pounds of resin, the cheapest volume in the family if the roof allows 183 inches. The 32384 steps down to 5,100 gallons on a 102 inch base at 159 inches, 7 inches taller than this tank on a pad 18 inches narrower.

What is on it
- Inlet: 1-1/2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting.
- Outlet: 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting at the base.
- Access: 26 inch threaded, vented manway.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
Twelve and a half feet of head over a 2 inch outlet is a strong gravity feed for troughs and drip lines. Level is a hydrostatic sender at the outlet, not a climb; the level gauge selection guide covers what reads through a black wall. Pipe the outlet through a flexible transition; a 152 inch polyethylene wall grows and shrinks with the day.
Jobs it is bought for
A fire reserve for a rural property or a small commercial site, sized under NFPA 22 per the fire-water reservoir design guide; an irrigation and stock-water bank; and the aggregation tank of a reuse train that pools roof runoff, condensate and grey water, per the industrial water reuse tank topology article. The tank sizing guide turns 6,500 gallons into days of supply.
Shipping a ten foot tank
At 120 inches across and 152 inches long on the deck the 32429 is oversize freight (NMFC 156600) on a flatbed at a lane rate; the freight cost estimator prices it for your ZIP, and the listed price is before freight. A crane or a large telehandler lifts 1,184 pounds onto the slab. Strap it, then fill in stages with the slab and every fitting under watch, per the hydrostatic test methodology guide. A strap that is checked once a season is a strap that holds; put it on the same calendar as the gutters.
