Snyder Industries 710 Gallon ASTM Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

Five foot eight: the tank that fits under a door header

This is the shape that solves a room. At 68 inches the top of the shell is at eye level, so the manway opens from a single step with a hand on the rim, the tank passes under a door header, a pipe rack or a mezzanine, and it rides on a flatbed or a skid without arguing with a height limit. It is short enough that a fill line and a vent still have room overhead in a space where a taller tank of the same volume simply would not go in. The floor it needs is modest as well, a 60 inch circle, narrow enough to set against a wall or between two vessels already standing, though still too wide for a 36 inch doorway, so the route from the dock gets measured with a tape rather than guessed. Under it, the slab does more work than the size suggests, because the rating is not modest: plain water puts 5,921 pounds inside the shell and the 1.9 rating allows 11,251 pounds of contents, and a rotationally molded floor bears on its whole floor, so all of that lands on the 60 inch circle. Pour it to the concrete pad sizing guide, level and in full contact, inside a berm sized to the tank where the liquid is regulated. A low shell is the least wind-sensitive shape in the range, which is exactly why the straps get skipped on it; do not skip them, because 185 pounds of empty tank slides across a smooth slab in a gust. Band it to structure or to slab anchors the day it lands and check the tension after the first storm. The black wall passes no light into the liquid and takes the ultraviolet that ages a pale shell outdoors, and in exchange it hides the level, so a sender rather than an eye is the gauge. Take 710 gallons to the tank sizing calculator against the draw between deliveries, and take the reserve and the warm-weather freeboard from the tank sizing guide.

710 gallons, and the 550 and 750 either side

Four walls share this 60 by 68 inch shell at the same 185 pounds of empty weight, listed separately and each rated as its own sheet says, so the shape is settled and the wall is the decision. The reason to take this part number is the 1.9 figure on its own sheet: it is the molding for a liquid that weighs more than water in a room that will not take a tall tank, and on a light liquid one of the others does the same job for less. The neighbours in the table move the volume rather than the wall. The 1800000C34 holds 550 gallons on a narrower 48 inch base and pays for it in height at 75 inches, which is the buy when the aisle is tighter than the ceiling; the 5990900N42 goes the other way, 750 gallons in a 68 inch circle only 66 inches tall, wider on the floor and lower still overhead, and it is the one to compare against if you are already this close to the ceiling.

One manway listed, and where the outlet gets decided

• Outlet, first, because the field is the one people misread: the sheet gives the outlet as "1 Manway / Lid" and prints no bottom fitting size anywhere on it. That is reproduced here as it stands rather than turned into a diameter, and this page claims no bulkhead size for this tank. Name the liquid and the draw-off arrangement you want at order and we confirm what this molding accepts, in what material, with what gasket, before anything is cut.
• Listed opening: an 18 inch threaded, vented manway at 68 inches, which is the practical advantage of the whole tank. Sampling and inspection need a step rather than a platform, a rail and a permit, and that difference shows up every week in the labour to operate it.
• Fill and vent: land the fill on a permanent connection at the manway instead of a hose over the rim, run a dip tube to the floor so the stream does not free-fall and foam, pipe the vent outdoors on anything that fumes, and size the vent to the delivery pump.
• Service limit: 120 F / 48 C. Warranty: 3 year. Rating: specific gravity 1.9 as the sheet gives it.

Easy access is the thing to manage on a tank this short, because the lid gets opened simply because it can be. Make each opening deliberate: a light on the band of wall above the liquid line, a look at the threads and the gasket seat, the date on the log, and the cover threaded shut afterwards so vapour stays in and rain stays out. The other consequence of 68 inches is modest suction head, so a transfer pump goes below the outlet where gravity keeps it primed, a low-level float stops it before it draws air, and the last inches drain slowly whatever is fitted. Anything plumbed at the base sits on its own support off the pad with a flexible connector to hard pipe, because a rigid run bolted to a 185 pound tank moves the tank instead of the pipe. Put the one liquid's name on the wall where a driver reads it from the cab. Where it freezes, trace or wrap the base piping and the first valve, not the body.

Skids, wash bays and service trucks

This is the size that gets built into things rather than parked: a dosing or transfer skid, a service truck or trailer carrying a dense solution, a wash bay makeup tank beside a pressure washer, a well house or lift station with a beam for a ceiling, a plating or finishing shop bath feed under existing pipework, and a nursery or greenhouse supply under a gutter. It is also a common pairing tank, because two of these on one pad give the volume of a much taller vessel with none of the platform and none of the strapping argument. Where a rule or an insurer wants the liquid inside a second wall, the double wall freeboard sizing guide works out how much usable volume a contained vessel really gives back at this size, which matters more on a dense liquid than on water. Plain water at 8.34 pounds per gallon is far inside the 1.9 rating, but a private fire reserve is a separate specification in a water-rated vessel, which the fire-water reservoir design guide explains.

185 pounds, class 300, and two people

The sheet gives class 300 and 185 pounds shipping weight out of Chowchilla, California, so a West Coast dock is on a short lane and anything further east should be priced rather than assumed; run the lane to your ZIP through the freight cost estimator before the requisition and read the listed price as before freight. At 60 inches across and 68 inches tall the parcel is compact for its class, which is the cheapest combination in this family to move. Two people and a pallet jack take 185 pounds off the trailer, or a forklift with straps under the body, never a sling through the manway, and it goes straight onto the cured pad rather than onto gravel it will be dragged off later. Fill it with water to the manway, hold it, and walk the base and the pad edge twice while it holds, then drain and dry it before the working liquid arrives. Keep the pallet it came on, because a tank this light is easier to reposition on the pallet than off it, and a 710 gallon tank gets moved more often than a bulk one ever does. Leave room to walk all the way around it; the side of the tank nobody can see is the side that leaks.
