The Snyder Industries 70 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a compact vertical storage tank that stands 41 inches tall on a 23 by 23 inch square footprint and holds 70 gallons of water or water-like liquid in natural white polyethylene. Its 1.9 specific gravity rating is what separates this heavy-duty unit from a standard tank: the wall is engineered for contents far denser than water, so a full load of water never asks the tank to work anywhere near its limit. For anyone shopping vertical tanks for a tight space, this Snyder white vertical storage tank fits where a larger footprint will not.
Will it work for your setup?
Filled with plain water at roughly 8.34 pounds per gallon, this tank carries about 584 pounds of contents. Because it is rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, its maximum rated contents weight is about 1,109 pounds, so ordinary water service leaves a wide engineering margin. The practical value of that rating is simple: this tank suits denser-than-water fluids up to a 1.9 specific gravity without derating, where a standard 1.0-rated tank would not. If you are not sure whether 70 gallons matches your draw and refill cycle, run the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to a size.
Siting, support, and plumbing
A vertical storage tank this size needs a flat base that fully supports the entire 23 by 23 inch footprint. That footprint is about 529 square inches, so the pad must carry the full point load beneath it — up to roughly 1,109 pounds at the tank's maximum rating. For a permanent above-ground install, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework so the pad carries that weight without flexing. Fitting and outlet configuration is not specified in our data for this SKU, so confirm bulkhead and outlet size and placement against the technical drawing on this page before you plumb the fill and draw lines. If this tank is part of a rainwater or grey-water collection setup, our guide on industrial water reuse tank topology covers how quality-banded storage trains fit together.
