Advantage in connecting mainlines over a ridge

[The Sweet Spot]

I have a few saddles, and valleys we are installing new mainline on. A few of the main lines end 75' away from one another. Would their be any advantage in connecting the two. I would not be able to separate the lines, without going to the top of the hill to close a valve. I'm weighing out the good and the bad.

In my opinion it would be a waste of mainline, fittings and wire. Connecting the mainlines together may also create turbulence that would be detrimental to good vacuum transfer and actually cut down on sap production.

I do not see an advantage to having a circular system of tubing.

If a major leak occurred the entire system would suffer, and it would increase the time to find leaks a bunch.
