The Snyder Industries 6600 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) vertical storage tank built for large-volume water and high-density liquid duty. It is molded in natural white so you can read the liquid level through the wall, and it carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating - the top of the density range for polyethylene tanks - which is why it also turns up under searches for a heavy-duty XLPE storage tank rather than a standard water-only vessel. Standing 158 inches tall on a 120 x 120 inch footprint, this is a fixed-site vertical tank sized for bulk water reserve, agricultural supply, and industrial process storage.
Will this tank work for my site?
At 6,600 gallons the numbers matter before you pour a pad. The footprint is 120 inches (10 feet) across, so check gate, doorway, and overhead clearance against that dimension when you plan delivery and placement. Filled with water, the full water weight is 55,044 pounds; at the tank's full 1.9 specific gravity rating, the maximum rated contents weight climbs to 104,584 pounds. That gap is the whole point of choosing XLPE here - the crosslinked wall is rated to hold liquids far heavier than water. Size the foundation around the load you will actually store, not just the water figure. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm the volume fits your draw-down and refill cycle, and read Concrete Pad Sizing for Above-Ground Polyethylene Tanks before setting the base.
Fittings and access
The tank is configured with a flange fitting, an 18-inch PE threaded and vented fitting, and a manway with 15-inch access for interior inspection and cleaning. The 18-inch PE fitting is vented, so size your fill and vent line - and any bulkhead gasket - to match the listed fittings before install. Confirm the outlet locations and fitting sizes against your plumbing plan using the technical drawing on this page, which shows the fitting layout and elevations for this model. If you are weighing crosslinked polyethylene against standard HDPE, the guide on Snyder XLPE vs HDPE: When Crosslinking Matters explains where the heavier XLPE wall earns its keep.
The mistake to avoid
The common error on a tank this size is under-building the foundation for the density you plan to store. A pad poured for 55,000 pounds of water will not carry a full 1.9 specific gravity load. Match the pad and any ring wall to the heaviest contents the tank will hold, and keep the 120 x 120 footprint fully supported edge to edge. For rural fire-reserve and remote-site installations, the design discipline in the Fire-Water Reservoir Tank Design guide is worth reading before you finalize placement.
