tri clamp would be best especially with extra tension. a cam style quick connect would also work.

I use their galvanized wire, there is a ss option however its 3 times the cost and hard to get. I have wire that's been out 8+ years with no issues yet

the mainline mentioned will work well as long as you can keep it tight and on grade. less investment would be several smaller systems of 5/16 to barrels. I would not run the 100 yard stretch to...

Max twintier 441t is the ultimate answer. I can tie 2-3000 feet per hour. The price is a bit of a set back and I presume will keep most producers, especially small producers from going that route....

The first question is if your planning on a vacuum pump. As Motowbrowne said, a small surflo pump will add production considerably.

After that a lot of what will work depends on the lay out of...

I cut them off when pulling taps and use Plug style T fittings to plug the drop until I replace them when tapping.

I would add the mainline to your collection tank instead of running each 3/16 line to the tank.

as for a pump line. elevating it off the ground and making sure it drains well when not in use are...

how many trees are you thinking are in this "patch at the end of the mainline? is the potential for more further than this patch that would use the same line in the future
being flat ground...

tpathoulas I read your question as 30-40 feet of drop towards your tank over the 300-500 foot run. Is this correct?

If so your good to go. if not you will have issues as maple flats has...

3/4 mainline will suit your situation well, I would suggest using purpose made mainline from a maple dealer, black waterline can be used however the plastic is a bit denser making it difficult to...

I under stand the venting of the mainline on a gravity system. i just wanted to be sure your post was not miss interpreted to mean venting 5/16.

I use a game camera currently however i am thinking of switching to ring door bell app for the notification and two way conversation ability.

The only thing i will add is not to vent the 5/16, this nulls any vacuum you are trying to create. It also allows bacteria into the system and the trees. studies have shown vented systems produce...

If your expansion in future will run into the system your putting in now, be sure to size this system appropriately. If not 3/4 will likely work well.

I have a local dealer (Wendel's Maple) I...

My suggestion would be go with the 3/4 mainline and 5/16 tubing. with as little drop as your explaining 3/16 would not gain much vacuum and has been shown to have major clogging issues in future...

leave it closed! research shows higher yield with a closed system than an open.
