when is it a good time to install pipe line this fall or do you wait until sugaring season? and will any pipe line work with leader
taps and t's?

I perfer the fall. No Bugs, No leaves ,No snow, and still warm enough to work with out gloves! Oh ya, and you can find your tools if you drop one.
Yes any tap and T will work on a pipe line system.

team, I prefer Nov to hang pipe as it's somewhat temp sensitive and won't shrink as much in the middle of winter as if you hung it tight in the summer.

Hang it any time you have time. Treat every day like tomarrow is season. Dont pull it real tight in the summer, and use the larger leader fittings with 30 p lateral line. Theron

Any temperature below which it's not a good idea to install latterals at (because when it warms up enough to run, you get too many sags)? Based on my experience with 30P, I'm thinking about 5 degrees F. but would like to hear from others.....
