I think this is the right section.

My taps are going into buckets in the ground with some 5/16th tubing.

My problem is how to keep the tubing from falling out of the Hole drilled into the side of the bucket. I don't want the too big to be long because then it may end up in the sapp and it can get sucked back out into the tree I've seen it before in a one gallon milk jug. Anyone have a good suggestion on what to use I tried these paper clips but they pop off I suppose I could use bigger ones.

I've seen some guys use binder clips like these:

Drill the hole a little smaller than the OD of the tube, then warm up the tube in hot water, and you should be able to get it into the hole.

Cheers,
