Put a "Y" or "T" on the dumping station line and run the line up a few feet above the "Y" or "T" and put in another dumping stating. By putting it a few feet above the connection, the sap shouldn't want to run into the lower level dumping stations

Check valves spring type so they are open all the time so you dont restrict the sap flow and when sap comes down the main it will shut them and only go to the tank
