Snyder Industries 80 Gallon Cubetainer Tank with Brass Dipense Fitting

The Snyder Industries 80 Gallon Cubetainer is a compact, space-efficient water tank built on a 36-inch square footprint and standing just 21.75 inches tall - the kind of low-profile cube that fits under a bench, inside a utility trailer, or against a wall where a tall vertical tank won't go. It's molded in white High Density Linear Polyethylene, carries an 8-inch lid and a 1-inch outlet, and holds a specific gravity rating of 1.9. If you searched "80 gallon tank," "cubetainer," or "Snyder Industries tank" looking for a low-profile, tuck-away water reservoir, this is the tank those terms point to.

Will it work for your job

The Cubetainer holds 80 gallons at an empty weight of 50 pounds. Filled with water, plan for roughly 667 pounds sitting on that 36 x 36 footprint - and the tank is rated to carry contents up to about 1,268 pounds, which is what the 1.9 specific gravity rating buys you: real headroom for liquids denser than water. That SG rating is why this tank suits dense water-based mixes and not just plain water. For plumbing, the technical drawing on this page shows two molded-in spin-weld ports: a 1-inch flush FPT fitting - your plumbed outlet - plus a 2-inch premium spin-weld port that serves as fill and access. That resolves the spec sheet's single-outlet line against the drawing: one threaded outlet, one larger charge/access port, both molded in rather than clamped on. The 8-inch top lid is your service and vent point when you charge the tank. If you're unsure 80 gallons is the right reservoir volume for your draw rate or supply cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide first.

Set it up right

At 21.75 inches tall the Cubetainer is stable by design, but a full tank still puts hundreds of pounds on whatever it sits on - that's a 13x swing from the 50-pound shipping weight to roughly 667 pounds full, so size the pad and bearing to the full load, never to the freight figure. Give it continuous, flat, fully supported bearing across the entire 36 x 36 base - never bridge it across joists or a partial frame. For a permanent above-ground install, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework. The mistake to avoid on this tank: don't read the 1.9 SG rating as a license to run any chemical through it. This is a water-service HDLPE tank - the SG rating gives you weight headroom for dense water-based mixes, but any denser or reactive liquid needs its resin and gasket compatibility confirmed before you fill, matched to the 1-inch FPT and 2-inch spin-weld ports. If cold-climate service or fire-water reservoir duty is on the table, the NFPA 22 rural fire-water design guide and its freeze-protection notes apply here too.
