The Snyder Industries 750 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank is a 106-inch-tall white tank on a 48-by-48-inch footprint, molded in high density linear polyethylene for bulk water storage. Filled to its rated 750 gallons it carries 6,255 lb of water, and that single number drives every decision below: the pad you set it on, the freight class it ships at, and the SG-1.0 limit that keeps it honest. This is a water storage tank, sized and rated for water-weight service - not a chemical vessel.
Will it work for your site?
The vertical profile keeps a large volume on a compact 48-inch square footprint, so it fits tight pump houses, fire-water sheds, and rural yards where ground area is at a premium. At 106 inches tall it stands just under nine feet, so confirm your doorway, ceiling, or overhead clearance before delivery. The white HDLPE shell suits water storage, irrigation, rainwater holding, and fire-water reservoir duty as a stored-volume tank within a private fire-protection stack. On any refill and draw-down cycle, plan a vented overflow plumbed above the working waterline so the tank cannot back up the fill line or pressurize - reference the technical drawing on this page for fitting locations. For cold-climate rural and fire-water service, plan freeze management as well: an unheated 750-gallon poly tank holds standing water that needs heat, insulation, or recirculation to stay liquid through a hard freeze. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 750 gallons matches your draw-down and refill cycle before you commit.
The number that drives the pour: 6,255 lb
Full of water this tank weighs 6,255 lb, which is also its maximum rated contents weight. That load lands on a 48.0 x 48.0-inch footprint, so the pad underneath has to be flat, level, and continuously supported across the full base. A vertical tank this tall is unforgiving of a tilted or partially supported pad: an uneven base concentrates stress at the bottom knuckle and is the most common avoidable mistake on a tank this size. Pour or set a level pad that carries the entire 48 x 48 footprint, not just the rim. The same 106-inch column matters at the outlet: a full tank exerts the static head of roughly a nine-foot water column at the bottom fitting, so any low-mounted fitting and its gasket must seal against that head.
Read the specific gravity rating before you fill
This tank is rated to a specific gravity of 1.0, which means it is built for water and water-weight liquids only. Specific gravity is the weight of a liquid compared to water; a 1.0 rating means the contents should weigh no more than water does. Do not put a heavier-than-water liquid in a 1.0-rated tank, and do not treat this as a chemical tank. This listing also ships with fitting locations shown on the drawing rather than the fittings themselves, so any bulkhead, fitting, or gasket you add is your responsibility to match to the stored liquid and the head pressure at full fill. For anything denser than water, or any chemical service, select a tank rated to a higher specific gravity (1.5 or above) built for that duty, and keep this one on water, rainwater, or fire-water storage where its 1.0 rating was designed to live.
