Just go to any maple dealer and ask what they suggest. Be sure to get 5/16" taps and an official 5/16 tapping bit. Regular 5/16 bits will not give as good a tap hole. Never use that bit for anything other than tapping trees and it will last you a very long time. After tapping the trees, boil the bit in plain water, then take it out and let it dry. Following that, place it in a zip lock bag and save it for the next season. If you have a desiccant pack from anything that was shipped to you, even some prescriptions come with them, it will keep the bit dry and in new condition.
I get over 1000 holes from a bit.
The rest will depend on which brand that dealer carries.
For just few taps like that, just use a thermos full of hot water, hold the last 1/2-3/4" in the water for a few seconds, then push the tubing onto the tap. For tubing use any brand 5/16 maple tubing, semi-ridged. Measure how much you will need, add a fudge factor and buy that, most places will cut to order for small orders.
The most important part is to have fun.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
