Planning to install some 3/16 tubing. Is there any preference/advantage for using 3/16 as drop lines as well or just using 5/16 drops to a 3/16-5/16-3/16 tee?
I have the 5/16 material to make drops already on hand. Only looking at installing another 50 - 75 taps.
Thanks, PT

No disadvantage or advantage.

Tim Wilmot did a very good class this year at Verona on 3/16 . He made a few points about using 3/16 or 5/16 for your drops. Couple things that stood out was that 3/16 doesn't drain good where as 5/16 will drain much better . Also , with a 5/16 drop your able to use your favorite spout where as 3/16 is limited but getting more options .
