Had a thought yesterday related to clearing clogs / plugs in the lines, so i thought i'd add it here. Is there such a thing as clear plastic tees? Since that's apparently where alot of plugs occur according to recent posts on this, it might make finding clogs alot easier. I read others here saying it's guesswork, just pull one spout at a time, and you rarely see the plug in a tee but that's where you find it. That's a helpful approach, but why not make it even easier, especially since clear plastic spouts are now pretty common. The tees i used are all black or solid green. A good portion of a few of my lines seem to be running slow -- sap sitting in drop lines not moving, so i need to get going on pulling things apart.
