I could probably search this site and find my answer, but I imagine someone can answer this off the top of their head(s). I need to get outside and away from the computer or I'll never get things prepped.

I am going to tube -> 5 gallon bucket setup this year. Will have slightly under 100 taps. Quick question: What fitting and tubing should I order? Who is the bestest source for it?

Thanks!

I use the 5/16 clear seasonal spouts and some tees or y's along with 5/16 tubing(IPL/CDL blue 4 seasons). I ordered my clear seasonal spouts from the Maple Guys and I got the rest from my local maple supplier.

Is there anything special about the "seasonal"? I see they are cheaper.

Thanks for the input - this is certainly easier than doing a ton of searching.
