So I’m looking to switch from buckets to lines. So my question is if I have 3 taps on one tree and I run 3 drop lines how does all 3 connect to the lateral line?
Drop to lateral lines
So I’m looking to switch from buckets to lines. So my question is if I have 3 taps on one tree and I run 3 drop lines how does all 3 connect to the lateral line?
Each drop would have T connector on the bottom that would connect to the 5/16 lateral line. Sometimes the lateral might run past the tree and other times you might make a loop around the tree each drop should have its own T connector. Then you hook your lateral to your mainline (if your using a mainline) with a saddle.Tap and Drop Line.jpgMainline Saddle and Loop.jpg
Hope that helps

Do not connect more than one tap in a drop. Then tie that drop to the lateral line using a tee. That is true regardless of the lateral line diameter, 3/16 or 5/16, but I suggest in either case that the tap and drop be 5/16. Then at the low end of the lateral line you either connect it to a main line using a saddle or to a barrel (or other suitable container).
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.
So just to be clear if I have 3 taps in a tree, all 3 drop lines will be connected to the lateral line separately correct? I won’t be using a main line just yet.
Yes that would be correct.
