That said, 40 is really too many on a good sap flow day, divide it into 2 @ 20 taps for more sap total. Up to 30 is recommended, I like 20-25 better. On my old lease I had 1 line that was 1400' long. I'd use a mainline only if the slope moderates of if the distance calculates to cost less having a mainline. For the mainline remember all costs, saddle, support wire, tie wires and tubing cost with labor cost (even if you do it yourself, there is still a labor cost in valuable time.

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.
