Tubing & vacuum

Mainline sizing, pumps, tightness and lifts.

Mainline sizing
How many taps a mainline carries at that size and slope, and when to go wet/dry.
What size vacuum pump
The pump this many taps needs, and the room you want above it.
What the install takes
Every foot of tubing and every fitting a woods needs, from its tap density.
3/16 line: will it work here?
Whether this hillside has the fall for 3/16, and how many taps belong on the line.
Are my lines tight?
Whether the pipeline holds the vacuum the pump makes, and what the loss costs in sap.
Sap transfer pump
How many gallons a minute your pump moves up the hill through this pipe, and how long a tank takes.
Lifts and ladders
How high sap will lift at your vacuum, and how many legs the taps call for.
