I have 3/16th tubing. How long can I take it. I have roughly 300' to stretch on 10 taps. And also I can't find connections for 1/2" line. Is the only connection "T" the connection with 4 incoming 5/16th lines. Please help I'm New to tubing!

They make adaptors that will take you from 3/16 to 5/16, bought some the other day. From there, use 5/16 saddles. Drill the hole in the mainline and clamp the saddle on. This is our first year with 3/16, although we've had tubing for 35-40 years. This tiny stuff is a whole new ballgame.

You can get 3/16 saddles from D&G... Distance dosnt seem to effect vacuum in 3/16 Ive heard of success with as little as 4 taps on 150 feet all the way up to 35 taps on 750 feet.. also check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQX9L1KnBh8
