new to running line

[ajstarr2288]

i was givin a ton of 5/16 line and spouts. i made up one line that has 24 taps on it. the line runs down hill. is this to many taps for the one line???

Not if it is gravity feed. If it is vac, than yes. "strive fo 5" for vac. 5 taps per line.

So how many could you do with just 5/16???

[adk1]

well, I guess that is a good question that needs to be answered by someone with more experience than I. The only thing I can say is that using a 5/16" line as a lateral on gravity I have been told to put as many on it as you want. But mine would then feed into a 3/4" mainline. Dont know if that makes a difference

ajstarr2288,
We ve about 12 to 20 on one line. Seems to work OK on 5/16 gravity system. Have about 35 of these 'sets'.
Hope that helps!

YES! From what I've heard 10-20, but NO MORE THEN 30. We have tested this out. Its true! We had about 50 taps on one line and then (I think) 15 taps on another. Then we would pull out the last tap on each line and the line with 15 was flowing faster(tell by air bubbles).;) Hope I helped! :P
