I just ordered a 5,000 tap Bernard horizontal releaser and was wondering if anyone knows how much sap (Gal.) they dump every time? I don't have it here yet and need to set it up so it dumps into a small tank or sink and then gravity drain down to the main holding tank.

I think it is 15 gallons per dump. On good runs last year mine was dumping every 50 seconds giving me about 1080 gallons per hour.
