The Snyder Industries 8000 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank (SII-32463) is a high-volume water storage option, holding 8,000 gallons in a black high-density linear polyethylene (HDLPE) body rated to a 1.0 specific gravity. It stands 183 inches tall on a 120 x 120 inch footprint, so a full tank loads roughly 66,720 pounds onto its pad. If you are sizing bulk water storage, an agricultural reservoir, or a rural fire-water supply, this is a vertical storage tank built for high-volume standing water rather than a small utility tank.
Will this tank work for your install?
The black HDLPE shell at a 1.0 specific gravity rating is matched to water and water-density liquids, which is exactly the service this tank is built for. Capacity is 8,000 gallons; nominal dimensions are 120 inches wide and 183 inches tall, on a 120 x 120 inch footprint. Plan the site around the standing load: full water weight and maximum rated contents weight are both 66,720 pounds, and that mass sits on the pad. The fact that those two figures match underscores that this is a water-only rating. Confirm fitting locations and sizes before you set the tank, since outlet and inlet placement drive your plumbing layout; this listing carries no fitting schedule, so fitting and gasket selection are confirmed at order. For help working backward from your demand to the right gallon size, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk through the math.
Foundation and commissioning
At nearly 67,000 pounds full, the pad under an 8,000-gallon vertical tank is structural, not an afterthought. Our guide to concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks covers the ACI 360R-10 framework and where the ACI 318 boundary applies for a load this size. Once the tank is set and plumbed, follow the hydrostatic test methodology for new-install acceptance to verify pad settlement, check fittings for leaks, and run proper hold-time math before you put the tank into service.
Common applications and the mistake to avoid
This size is a workhorse for rural and remote water supply. If you are sizing it as a fire-water reservoir, read the design discipline in our fire-water reservoir tank design guide, which covers NFPA 22 sizing and freeze protection for cold-climate service. For grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC-condensate aggregation, the industrial water reuse tank topology guide maps quality-banded storage trains. The mistake to avoid is treating the 1.0 specific gravity rating as a margin for heavier liquids: this tank is rated for water-density contents, so do not push it into service with anything denser without stepping up to an industrial or chemical tank rated for the higher specific gravity.
