The Snyder Industries 7000 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a 1.9 specific-gravity workhorse built for the heaviest above-ground water and liquid storage duty. It stands roughly 10 feet 2 inches tall (122 inches) on a 142-inch round footprint that works out to about an 11-foot 10-inch diameter, holds 7,000 gallons, and carries an ASTM polyethylene rating that lets it handle contents far denser than water. If you are sizing a bulk water reservoir, an agricultural supply tank, or a rural fire-protection store, this is a large single vertical storage tank molded by Snyder Industries.
Will this tank work for your install?
This is a white HDPE vertical tank with a 1.9 specific-gravity rating, and that rating is the number that matters most. A full load of plain water weighs 58,380 pounds, but the shell is rated to carry up to 110,922 pounds of contents, so you have real headroom for denser liquids as long as your service density stays at or below 1.9. The molded fitting package includes a flange, two 12-inch by 28-inch S.U.M.O. fittings for bulkhead-style outlet connections, an 18-inch PE threaded vented fitting that serves as a fill and vent point, and a manway with a 15-inch access opening for inspection and entry. Thread type, bolt circle on the flange and S.U.M.O. fittings, and any gasket or o-ring are not listed in our specs here, so confirm exact sizes and locations against the technical drawing on this page before you buy mating fittings, gaskets, or plumb your gauging.
Sizing and foundation
At about 11 feet 10 inches in diameter and a bit over 10 feet tall, this tank needs a level, engineered pad and a clear path for delivery and overhead fill access. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm this 7,000-gallon vertical fits your volume and space, and review our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks for the ACI framework that governs a load this size. Because this is a tall, large-diameter HDPE storage tank, the ASTM D1998 wall-thickness and headspace inspection guide is worth reading before commissioning. For rural and remote fire-water service, our NFPA 22 reservoir design guide covers freeze protection and sizing discipline for cold-climate sites.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this large is under-building the foundation. Do not pour a pad sized for the empty shell or for a water-only load when your real service density is higher. The 1.9 specific-gravity rating exists so the shell can carry up to 110,922 pounds, but the pad and any berm or containment have to carry that same weight. Size the foundation to the maximum rated contents weight of 110,922 pounds, not the 58,380-pound water load, verify your liquid's specific gravity stays at or below 1.9, and account for the full 142-inch footprint when laying out access for the manway and S.U.M.O. fittings.
This 7,000-gallon Snyder vertical storage tank ships LTL from the Snyder plant in Lincoln, Nebraska, freight quoted live to your ZIP. On an oversize load this size, offloading typically needs equipment on site, and freight to ZIPs far from Nebraska is a real line item, so price it before you commit.
