How many taps can a 1inch wet line handle?
1.25? 1.5? Thanks in advance.

I am assuming you mean a wet line, without a dry line associated with it. I would call it a mainline.
Here is what Leader says:
3/4" Diameter will handle the volume of maple sap from up to 250 taps
1" Diameter will handle the volume of maple sap from up to 500 taps
1-1/4" Diameter will handle the volume of maple sap from up to 1000 taps
1-1/2" Diameter will handle the volume of maple sap from up to 2000 taps
If its a wet/dry system, I think you can double it. So a 1" wet line can take 1000 taps. The W/D only connects to other mainline, no direct connection to laterals.
The total taps on the wet / dry line will depend on the total distance. (If you want proper / max vacuum transfer)
