Trying to add a dry line to my sugar bush

[dadsmaplesugarshack]

I GUESS MY FIRST QUESTION IS WHERE DOES THE DRYLINE GET INSTALLED ONTO THE WET LINE AT THE VERY END OF THE RUN ? AND DO i USE A Y OR BUILD A MANIFOLD MOST OF MY MAINLINE IS 3/4 THE TOP HALF WILL BE 1" LINE i KNOW THE LOWER SIDE OF THE DRY LINE WILL GO INTO MY RELEASER SOME PICS WOULD BE GREAT THANKS

I did the same thing last year. At each main make a manifold to separate sap and the gasses. I made mine using a tee for the main, sap dropped to an elbow and then into the wet line, on top an elbow and to the dry line. I used a 1" tee, reduced to 3/4 for wet and to the main, dry portion remained 1". Put a valve to the main so you can isolate that main when needed. It worked good.

at the end you hook them together so it is one continuos loop. don't build manifolds it will break in the long run. Just use Ys go into the wet line with a Y then a y pointed toward the dry line hook to dry line. put a valve if needed. before the Y in the main line as to shut it off.
