    If you stick with that many taps SL has a new rig, I think it is called the Starcat, half pint is good option. If you plan on more taps some day a 2x4 may be better, like a hybrid pan or a high...

    Now I need to make at least a preheater. What kind and size of plastic tubing is it that you are using coming into your rig? I was using cpvc but may switch to something else.
