I know I asked this before, but a search does not find the thread.
I am getting ready to install a dry line. It will be about 500' long and the 3/4" wet line was designed to be converted to a wet dry set up when I added vac. I will have a max of 550 taps on the line. I plan to use a 1" dry line. The question is, should I use blue 30P or is black as good for a dry line. I'm thinking that the only time the dry line will have sap is early in the day while the wet line is frozen. I think heating of the sap should never happen for this case. Who uses what and why? The only + 's I see with the 30P is that it can be seen thru and is easier to work with. On the - side is the price. What am I missing? I have the manifolds all set and will be installing it this coming week. Which way?

Has anyone tried side tie with rapiTube tie on either 30P or black instead of using support wire?

Absolutely...that is what it is designed for. See the Rapitube video in English that the supplier has posted and you will see.
