Snyder Industries 6600 Gallon ASTM XLPE Vertical Storage Tank

The everyday proportion, in a crosslinked wall

Ten feet across and a little over thirteen feet tall, this tank fits under an ordinary industrial roof with room for a fill line and a vent, and it stands on a pad most yards already have space for. The 1.5 wall is the right buy for water, reclaimed water, fertilizer solutions and process makeup liquids; if what goes in is heavier than 1.5 times water, order the heavy duty version of this shell instead. Crosslinked polyethylene resists chemistry that softens ordinary polyethylene, so a tank bought for water today can take on treatment chemicals later without changing the shell. For a site that pulls rainwater, condensate and grey water into one storage train, our article on industrial water reuse tank topology shows where a tank this size sits. Natural white shows a shadow line at the liquid level in daylight. Size the volume with the tank sizing calculator and tank sizing guide, and take the thermal freeboard from the freeboard sizing note.

Full of water the tank puts 55,044 lb on a 120 inch circle. A rotationally moulded floor bears on every part of that circle and follows the concrete rather than bridging it, so build the slab to our concrete pad sizing guide, level and in full contact, and strap the shell to structure before the first fill. Where the tank is a rural fire reserve, the fire water reservoir design guide covers sizing and freeze protection.

Openings and what to confirm before you buy

1. Manway. An 18 inch threaded vented manway on top, wide enough for a fill line with a dip tube, a level sender and a hand inside to inspect. Size the vent to the delivery pump.
2. Fill. Run a dip tube to the floor rather than a hose over the rim. Free fall foams the headspace and wets the upper wall where vapour concentrates; the article on wall thickness at the vapour saturated headspace explains why that band fails first.
3. Outlet. This listing does not state an installed outlet fitting. Tell us the size and material you need and where the drain lands, and we will confirm with Snyder what comes on the tank and what is added.
4. Drawing. Snyder's drawing is linked on this page under Technical Drawing, with the fitting locations and the exact profile for your pad layout.

The 5300400 shell and its neighbours

Same shell, thicker wall for dense liquids: the 6600 gallon heavy duty 5300400N42. In black, which keeps light off the contents and slows algae in stored water, the choices are the 6600 gallon black 5300400N46 and the 6600 gallon black heavy duty 5300400N48. Close in volume, the 6500 gallon black 1.35 rated 7140000N33 is the lighter rated water tank in a different body, and the 6900 gallon heavy duty 7140000C26 is the next step up for a dense liquid.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 300 from Snyder's Chowchilla, California plant, 120 by 120 by 158 inches on the truck at 1,900 lb. Add it to your cart at the top of this page, get LTL freight to your ZIP, or call 866-418-1777. The listed price is before freight. A tank this wide needs a crane or a large forklift and a clear landing spot at the address. At the tailgate, check 5300400N40 against the bill of lading, look over the whole wall and the floor edge for transit damage, and fill it with water the first time; our hydrostatic test guide gives the hold times and what to watch at the pad edge.
