The Snyder Industries 7500 Gallon ASTM XLPE Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 7440000N42) is a crosslinked linear polyethylene vertical storage tank built for high-volume water and heavy-liquid duty. It stands 234 inches tall on a 102 x 102 inch footprint, holds 7,500 gallons, and molds in Natural White. The crosslinked (XLPE) wall is rated for liquids up to 1.9 specific gravity, so it handles liquids denser than water without switching to a heavier vessel.
Will it work on your site?
Filled with water at 7,500 gallons, this tank carries roughly 62,550 pounds of contents. Its 1.9 SG rating allows a maximum rated contents weight near 118,845 pounds, which is what you reach when the tank is filled to volume with a liquid at 1.9 specific gravity. That 118,845 lb figure is the governing case for your foundation, not the 62,550 lb water number. Design the pad to the full-density load: the entire 102 x 102 inch footprint has to sit on a level, continuously supported base rated for that weight. Run the numbers with the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you order, and for above-ground concrete work the concrete pad sizing framework walks through the ACI 360R-10 and ACI 318 boundary for a vertical tank this size.
Fittings and access
The technical drawing on this page shows the fitting package: a flange, an 18-inch PE threaded and vented fitting, a manway with 15-inch access opening, a 12 x 23 inch fitting, and a flat fitting land for field-added connections. Vertical XLPE tanks are molded with fittings in fixed positions, so confirm your inlet, outlet, and vent locations against the drawing before the tank is set. Just as important, confirm the size and thread type of each fitting against the drawing before you buy mating flanges, bulkhead fittings, or gaskets, so the hardware matches on the first try. Call 866-418-1777 and we will verify fitting sizes and locations with you.
XLPE vs HDPE — the mistake to avoid
This is a crosslinked (XLPE) wall rated to 1.9 SG, not standard HDPE, and the two are not interchangeable. If you are weighing this against a lighter linear-polyethylene tank, read Snyder XLPE vs HDPE so you spec the right wall for your service. If your install needs secondary containment at this density, the Snyder Captor double-wall freeboard guide covers the double-wall containment path and usable-volume math. For fire-water reservoir duty at rural and remote sites, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and freeze protection for a storage tank this size.
