8,000 gallons with a 1.5 specific gravity wall
The Snyder 32459 is a white high density linear polyethylene vertical liquid storage tank, 120 inches in diameter and 184 inches tall, holding 8,000 gallons at 1,547 pounds empty. Its wall is rated for a specific gravity of 1.5, which puts the maximum contents at 100,080 pounds against 66,720 for the same volume of water: the middle rating, for brine, fertilizer solutions and dilute treatment chemicals that are heavier than water but short of the concentrates that need the heaviest chemical wall. A 3 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead outlet and a 20 inch threaded, vented manway make it a bulk tank that is filled by tanker and drawn by pump.

Fifteen feet tall: the site work
At its rating this tank loads a 120 inch circle to 100,080 pounds; with water alone it is 66,720. Either number is an engineered slab in full contact under the whole floor, level enough that 184 inches of tank stands plumb, and the empty shell is strapped or ballasted against wind. The manway is 184 inches up, so instrumentation is a hydrostatic sender at the outlet or a radar unit on the lid, never a routine climb. Where a polyethylene tank this tall fails first is the vapor headspace, not the liquid side, which is why the HDPE tank wall thickness guide tells operators to inspect above the liquid line. The tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide settle the volume against the delivery interval.
The 120 inch tanks from 7,900 to 8,500 gallons
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32459 (this tank, 1.5 SG) | 8,000 | 120 x 184 in | 1,547 lb |
| 5300600N40 | 8,000 | 120 x 186 in | 1,900 lb |
| 5300600N42 (XLPE) | 8,000 | 120 x 186 in | 2,300 lb |
| 7370000N40 | 7,900 | 120 x 177 in | 2,700 lb |
| 7400000N40 | 8,500 | 120 x 194 in | 2,400 lb |
Read the weight column as wall thickness. The 32459 is the lightest 8,000 gallon tank on this base by a wide margin; the 5300600 tanks carry 353 and 753 more pounds of resin at 2 more inches of height, with the N42 in cross-linked polyethylene for oxidizers and warm liquids. The 7370000N40 is the heaviest wall in the family at 2,700 pounds for 7,900 gallons, and the 7400000N40 reaches 8,500 gallons at 194 inches. Match the wall to the liquid's density and the years the tank will stand in the sun.

Ports
- Inlet: 3/4 inch fitting near the top.
- Outlet: 3 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting at the base; a PVC or CPVC adapter, a flexible transition, an expansion joint and a valve supported off the slab.
- Access: 20 inch threaded, vented manway; size the vent for the fill and draw rates of a tank this size.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
Fifteen feet of head over a 3 inch outlet is real pressure at the bulkhead; check the nut after the first full fill and never let pipe hang from the fitting. The chemistry the resin is rated for is listed below; the chemical compatibility database gives the rating by concentration and temperature.
Where it serves
Liquid fertilizer and brine at a co-op, dilute treatment chemicals at a plant, and bulk water where a heavier wall is wanted for a long outdoor life. As a water reserve it meets the volumes the fire-water reservoir design guide discusses under NFPA 22, with a wall that will outlast a water tank's.
Freight for a fifteen foot tank
At 120 inches across and 184 inches long on the deck the 32459 is oversize freight (NMFC 156600) on a flatbed at a lane rate; the freight cost estimator prices it for your ZIP, and the listed price is before freight. Book a crane for delivery day, have the slab cured, and plan a staged water fill with a hold before any product is ordered. Walk the base after the first hard rain; a pad that shifts shows it at the edge first.
