The Snyder Industries 70 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a compact white polyethylene vertical tank built for water storage where floor space is tight, and it ships LTL from Snyder's plant in Merced, California, so West-region buyers will see the friendliest freight on it. It holds 70 gallons in a 23-inch square footprint and stands 42 inches tall, which lets it tuck into corners, closets, and equipment skids that a wider tank can't reach. The tank carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating and is manufactured to ASTM standards for polyethylene storage.
Will this Snyder vertical tank work for your install?
Filled with water this vertical storage tank weighs roughly 584 pounds, so the stand or pad underneath it has to carry that load on a 23 x 23 inch footprint:
- Empty-to-water weight: ~584 lb on a 23.0 x 23.0 in footprint
- Max rated contents: ~1,109 lb at the 1.9 specific gravity rating
- Dimensions: 42 in tall x 23 in wide (square base), 70 gallon capacity, white HDPE
For pure water service that 1.9 SG rating is real durability headroom: water sits at a specific gravity of 1.0, so this tank is rated for contents nearly twice as dense as what it will actually hold. That margin means freeze-thaw cycling and sediment load won't crowd the wall rating over the tank's life. Because the load concentrates on a small base, set this tank on a smooth, fully supporting surface rather than spanning it across joists or an uneven pad. If you are sizing for a specific demand, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to a footprint.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a slim hdpe vertical tank like this one is underbuilding the base. Concentrated weight on a 23-inch square means the support has to be flat and continuous; a tank that rocks on a high spot or overhangs the edge of a pad will stress the bottom knuckle over time. For above-ground polyethylene tanks set on concrete, our guide on concrete pad sizing under the ACI 360R-10 framework walks through getting the pad right. To understand how HDPE wall thickness behaves over a tank's service life, the breakdown of wall thickness and ASTM D1998 sizing logic is worth reading before you put it into service.
Fittings and exact dimensions
Fitting locations and sizes aren't listed in the spec data for this SKU, so don't assume an outlet size or gasket from the photo. Check the technical drawing on this page for fitting placement and exact dimensions before you order. For a smaller water reserve that needs to stay put in a corner or a utility room, this Snyder vertical storage tank is a clean fit.
